The overall reputation of the company is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to issues with ticket delivery, refund policies, and customer service responsiveness. Many customers report being charged exorbitant fees, receiving invalid tickets, and facing unresponsive support channels, leading to frustrations and claims of being scammed. While some customers appreciate the variety of events offered, the overwhelming sentiment reflects a lack of trust and reliability. The company's rigid policies regarding refunds, particularly for postponed events, further exacerbate negative perceptions, suggesting a need for improved customer service and clearer communication.

It was very easy to order my tickets, but I did notice that the price of my tickets was considerably higher than that at ticket master. I googled for tickets. Maybe I should have just gone to ticketmaster.com
Don't buy tickets from the scam website, they sell fraudulent tickets and hide behind their user agreement. Scalper scumbags!
Ordering the tickets was pretty straight forward, I've never ordered online tickets like this before so I'm hoping this actually works out
I'm always a little hesitant to make a relatively expensive transaction over the internet... have NO fear... OnlineCityTickets is a great cite! Looking for theater tickets? This is the place!
The cite walks you through the entire procedure and you will know the total payment before your place your order. My email arrived within 12 hours (I ordered around midnight), and I simply printed out my tickets!
Thanks OnlineCityTickets!
Quick response time. Great customer service. I will definitely feel comfortable using it again in the future.
I JUST ORDERED TICKETS FROM ONLINE CITY TICKETS. AFTER I PLACED THE ORDER I HAPPENED TO CHECK OUT TICKETMASTER. FOR THE SAME DATE, TIME, SECTION AND ROW I PAID 97.00 PER TICKET + THE $28.00 SERVICE FEE TOTAL $247.00 FOR TWO TICKETS. TICKET MASTER'S PRICE WAS $100.00 CHEAPER! I'M SHOPPING TICKET MASTER NEXT TIME!
Got great seats at a great value! I love that the parking, seats, and VIP sections were available and clearly articulated in the purchase. I also loved the seat map, it really helped me determine the best option.
First time using OnlineCityTickets.com. The transaction was smooth and the suite tickets we bought were exactly what had hoped for. 100% legit!
Had to pay 40u$ for taxis but i got my ticket at 11 am & i enjoy the event. No issues at the entrance or other stuff. If i have to go to another event ill buy my ticket with you guys. Probably early so I can get the UPS delivery.
The whole process went very smoothly. Not excited I have to sign up for some bull$#*! website just to prove I got my tickets tho..
Was having trouble using the website of another "reputable" seller and could not get past the logins in a timely manner. This concert was really important to me and good seats were selling fast - you made it work.
Extremely prompt service for the exact tickets I wanted. The tickets arrived seconds after my payment was approved, I downloaded and printed them and am good to go.
When searching for tickets online city tickets made it very easy and convenient! My fiancé and I are looking forward to going to our first concert together
Easy to do. But they need to be sure the tickets come in your own name not someone elses... not cool
The site is fine but it pisses me off that it is REQUIRED that I write a review that MUST be at least 100 characters...
Can't wait to spend the day with grandaughter.
Was easy to order and will use this site in the future.
Thank you very much
I wanted to add a ticket 5 mins after the purchase. Not only they refused to add a ticket to my purchase they refused to cancel my ticket and refund my money. All with in 20 mins. Now they are saying I can sell the tickets on my own.
I paid $228 for 2 tickets with Online City Tickets and $180 for 3 tickets with ticket master.
Learned my lesson the hard way. Save your self.
The process went smoothly, every step was quick and easy.The time spent was really short and went extremely well well, I spoke to person who was very helpful.
Never heard of this site but found it and it was really easy to get the tickets and pay. Fast too. I got the tickets immediately after. Just wish I could get hard copies too not just print it. But it was simple and easy and cheapiest prices I found.
I want to warn everyone to stay away from this agency. I purchased tix to see the Dropkick Murphys on St. Pats Day at House of Blues in Boston for my friend's 50th B-Day. They said I might not my received my tix until up to 24 hours in advance. Fine. However, I only received them 3 HOURS before the event start. It gets worse.
When I arrived at the event the scanner they use at the entrance said both tickets had already been used! Understandably, HoB wasn't about to let us in. I called the agency and they said there were no more tickets available either, so we missed the event! It was very embarrassing and disappointing and I felt really badly for my friend.
The agency sent a form to me to which was used to launch an investigation. They quickly validated my story and found the tix were actually fraudulent in some way. They didn't get into specifics. To their credit, they provided a refund to my CC within a few days. They also gave me a $45 coupon that I have to use by September.
Given this was the first time I used them and they utterly failed, I will never use them again. The tickets I bought were 3X face value. The $45 barely covered my gas and parking fees to get into town, so I was hardly compensated for my inconvenience and embarrassment.
STAY AWAY.
P.S. One good part of the experience was that most of the customer service people I dealt with were nice.
Answer: In my case, they sent e-mail that the tickets would be forthcoming. When I failed to receive them the week before the concert, per e-mail download as promised, I called their #, the person on the other end told me that it was will-call at the box-office with the copy of the e-mail I needed to bring. The box office told me that as a 2nd line seller, they did not keep them there. When I called to ask why they did this to me and demanded re-imbursal, they sent the tickets per e-mail download THE DAY AFTER THE CONCERT. They tried to cover their tracks with the credit card company, the problem for them was that the time stamp of their sending the tickets reflected the day after the concert. So essentially, they are not even competent as rip-off artists.
Answer: So sorry to hear you have been conned by this outfit. Apparently sometimes they DO send valid tickets, so I hope you are one of the lucky ones. I suggest you tell your credit card company (by phone and IN WRITING) that you are disputing this charge. Also tell everyone you know to avoid this rip-off company. I know this doesnt help you now, but in the future buy tickets only from Ticketmaster (I've never had a problem with them). Good luck.
Answer: I couldn't even open the download so I called the number and all I got was an answering system to send email and I did but no reply from them so the next day a call about 50 times until I got someone. After getting transferred to 3 different people and waiting about an hour for the supervisor the guy told me no refunds are allowed but money is 100% guarantee if it doesn't work at the time of the event. So I'm praying to God they are good the event isn't until the end of November
Answer: They are scoundrels. I know where their office is and went by there recently. I am laying out a plan.
Answer: If you have already purchased your tickets from this outfit, good luck. They sent me tickets for a concert in Tennessee and I asked for and live in Florida. They said it was MY mistake and that I asked for TN. They supposedly tried to resell the tickets and couldn't so I was out $300.00 for two tickets. They have something like 130 complaints and are a scam outfit. Next time order elsewhere and good luck with these tickets.
Answer: I just cancelled my order because they never sent the tickets. At least you got yours so maybe they will be okay. I would call the arena where the event will be and ask them how many issues they have had with this company. I emailed five times and they always sent an automated response back. Then, when I was in a meeting at work they finally called and the number just read, "33333" when they called me. No return phone number... very strange. They left a message to call them so I did immediately after my meeting (15 minutes)... the automated system was up and did not allow me to speak with a person. Thus far, I have never spoken to a real person when I call their number. I disputed the purchase, got my money back and bought tickets for much less at StubHub. I was surprised because my last tickets at Stubhub were kind of expensive... but these tickets (McCartney) were not too crazy expensive. Anyway, best of luck, and I would make a back up plan.
Answer: You will get your tickets, but they will likely have someone else's name printed on them. Worst of all, they will most likely not be honored at the gate/box office. My advice is to get a refund NOW and buy tickets from a reputable outlet like Ticketmaster. City Online are thieves and scammers. See my review about James Taylor concert in Norfolk, Virginia.
Answer: Contact the venue, give them all the details on the tickets received and verify if U will be able to legitimately use the tickets, considering the issues with this company that are so overwhelming. My experience reviewing all the people who describe their issues with them is that even if the tickets are usable, the overpayment is so excessive that it would have been better dealing with the regular ticket outlet for the venue.
Answer: Yes Ann, you will get your tickets. You just over paid by a HUGE amount... but other then that, the company is legit. They are just robbers the way they do it... thats all. Have a good time and yes, at least now you learned a lesson (like all of us on this site);-)
