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.

Fast and easy ordering. Immediate printable tickets. Simple ordering and fast delivery. I would definitely order again.
Lots of hoops & jumps to go through, was very confused with all the emails. This is also annoying that i have to type 100 characters.
It didn't show the service fees until the end of the order. Would not have gone thru this site. 30% for service fees and why did I get charged a fee for downloading? And too vague as to the row setting. I believe most would want to know exact seats at the time of purchase.
I accidentally ordered two tickets instead of 3, and I can't cancel my order. I'd be charged twice for the service and flash fees, and the seats won't even be together. Very disappointing for my daughter to find out daddy won't be going with us for her birthday.
I HAVE NOT GOT MY TICKETS YET BUT SEEMS TO BE OKAY WILL SEE WHEN TICKETS COME IN NEW YEAR SERVICE CHARGE NOT ON SITE WAS SHOOKED HOW MUCH AND DID NOT KNOW. THE TICKETS ARE IN CANADA AND I HAD TO PAY USA MONEY THE SITE DID NOT SAY IT WAS USA MONEY
I received my e-tickets. I look forward to doing business with your company in the near future. I have friends, and family using your site to buy their tickets to see Phantom of the Opera.
I had no trouble at ordering these tickets. After purchasing, I recieved very useful information on how my ticket process will go!
From start to finish, the purchase was quick and easy with little to no wait time on e-delivery of tickets.
Faster than any other sites will do business again Thanks my husband loves the Grateful Dead so with this site I was allowed to get faster service without worrying the day of presale
You don't know what you're really paying for tickets until it's too late.
My fee was 30%. Far too high - this is the service company making a huge payout because they know how to make a website. Come-on. Show the fee upfront, and make it something more reasonable.
This was the first time i use this system and it was surprisingly painless i would use it again and would also be happy to recommend to a friend
I was able to place my order quickly and find the seats that I wanted with ease. I will definitely come back to this site again for invents in the future.
Ordering tickets was simple and quick, did not like the time consuming survey after. Don't have time to submit 100 words in a review.
I received a quick confirmation regarding my ticket purchase, and a notice that my emailed tickets would be available to print a week before the concert. So far, I am extremely pleased, because Online City Tuckets let me use my PayPal account.
Very easy to do. I never have got tickets this fast. Really recomend this aite for rixket purchasing
Why a download charge. Reduce service charge, Too high. More than 25% per ticket. Otherwise, website was easy to follow
I have never done this before very easy and fast. Tickets arrived within five minutes of completing the order. Thankyou
Went good to get the tickets! The event is in a couple weeks hope everything goes good then! We will have to wait and see!
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);-)
