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.

Easy and fast with quick delivery. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was that the amount charged for the insurance didn't show up in the charges when paying. I went through the order 3 times looking for it before I finally pushed the buy button and subsequently found out that it was charged separately.
Thank you for providing tickets in a quick, safe way.
Within minutes of deciding to attend UFC 206 we had purchased our tickets and had them in our hands! Amazing!
The whole process is easy to use and it worked like a charm. The only problem I had is they don't tell you about the processing fees, which I felt were high and then there was a $7.50 fee to send it electronically to me to print out. I don't understand a fee that actually makes the process easier for the company and costs them nothing.
The claim for ticket purchases are "Per our terms and conditions, requested tickets may sometimes be replaced with comparable tickets to the same event. All event times are subject to change; check with the venue for official start time."
We paid a hefty service charge and never received our tickets the day prior as promised. On the day of the event, they emailed us to download them and we discovered we were placed in a row 10 sections to the left of our original order, on the side of the stage behind the speakers and no view of the monitors. We left at intermission. Because we were one row lower, they claimed this to be an upgrade. By whose standards? Not ours! We specifically chose our section for the view and should have been offered the opportunity for a refund if the new seats were not to our liking and not to be told "these are not the seats you ordered but are better by our opinion." Why do they claim they have those tickets if they cannot provide them to you?
Buyers Beware! The 4-star rating is deceiving.
Disappointed by the shipping charge. Does it need to be 1/3 the cost of the ticket? Did like the ease of finding a seat and getting the ticket delivered to my computer.
Purchased tickets for the Segerstrom Hall for the Nutcracker. Three days before the event the contacted me to say that they made an error and they didn't have the tickets they sold me. They tried to upgrade me back to the first purchased seats for 400.00 additional dollars. I contacted them multiple times and they offered no solutions. Buyer beware, the old bate and switch scheme. Online City Tickets are scam artists.
Order went through almost right away, confirmed well with a good amount of follow-up.
BUYER BEWARE!
This place is a total RIP OFF. They charge exceedingly for the well over face value, which you expect to some degree but these guys shamelessly charge $200 + per ticket for processing fee and then you don't even get your tickets right away. Instead you pay them thousands of dollars and HAVE TO WAIT MONTHS before you even get your tickets... I'm still waiting. So we'll see. Fingers crossed that I even get the tickets.
I wouldn't give them any starts but had to give them something to submit the review.
I'm still struggling with this issue of not having MY name on the tickets and the price being about 1/2 of what I paid. I wont use a third party source again.
I ORDERED AA. YY AS I AM A VETERAN WITH HEARING PROBLEMS. RECEIVED TICKETS IN THE REAR W ORCHESTRA. THESE ARENOT THE SAME. First time Nutcracker was looking forward toUP CLOSE!
Loved the ease of purchasing tickets on this site and seeing the floor map to know where the tickets were for. Also loved how quickly the download of the tickets were received in email. This was a surprise for my husband for Christmas.
Charging in US dollars wasn't clearly shown on your site, instead it was in fine print that barely anyone can see. Last time I buy tickets off your site. Ended up paying 40$ more because of that
The site was easy to navigate, but additional fees for "service charges" and for instant downloadable tickets (no other delivery option available) were tacked on at checkout that weren't reflected in the original ticket prices--these fee increased the overall price by an additional $73 or so for two tickets.
Would give 5 stars if the actual seat selection option was available.
Very easy process received tickets by email and great seats seats the night before the event!
It is honestly ridiculous that this website charges you three times the face value of the ticket, then gives them to you only two days before the event even though I purchased them three months in advance. Stay away at all costs, customer service is very inept and won't help at all. Use Literally any other ticket broker, their fees are outrageous and the company is awful.
This company charges ridiculous service charges with these tickets, without indicating the charges in advance. Criminal fees. $102 fees for two tickets.
They lie to you and their 100% money back guarantee is a joke! I bought tickets in one section but when I received them they were in a horrible side of the stage seats. I called three times before they told me the clause that the seller can change sections if they are closer to the stage, a total scam! I couldn't get my money back either. I will never use this company again! Buyer beware!
Very easy to buy the tickets. Now I'm just very hesitant that these tickets could be fake. If anyone has gotten fake tickets off the website please let me know!
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);-)
