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.

Wish I had seen the email I got right as I was purchasing the tickets offering a 10% discount on the order. Can you credit me?
Service charge ($50 per ticket!) was hidden until I had entered all of my billing, address, contact info. That indicates to me that even Online City knows that the charge is excessive.
Didn't see anywhere that a huge fee would be charged for purchase. Also, the website was misleading by showing palacetheater when placing order.
I thought the service was very good EXCEPT that I've had to take the time to type out an evaluation for buying the tickets. This has made the service below average in my view.
I purchased two tickets for American Idol Live at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville 3 months before the event. This is the first time this happens to me. I choose my seats and paid $200.00 for two tickets. I did not realized I bough my tickets from online city tickets until I received an e-mail telling me that the tickets would be sent to me days before the event. I got concerned and I look the reviews. It seem like everybody was happy with their service. Today I got an email with the tickets from ticket master ( I guess they bought my tickets at ticket master?) Terrible seats with limited view and the price is $100 for both tickets. This company kept $100. What a big scam I could had gone to ticket master myself and buy the tickets there. Don't buy thickets from Online City Tickets! I'm not using my phone so I cannot submit a picture, but I'm sure I'm not the only one mislead by this company.
I was surprise with such a wonderful service. Thank you. It was so fast. Yes. I agree it's not a cheap price, but you know why did I pay
Love it and I am so excited to go see this show, thank you ticketmaster I'm fired up to see Willy Nelson and sturgill
I would do less than one star if it was a option. This company applies a service charge of approximately 30% over the ticket price. The service charge does not show up until the pay information is entered. Even then it is located in a inconspicuous area on the page. Additionally it is not included in any email communication. I thought this website was associated with the theatre and thus reputable. Not so... Will never deal with this company again.
This Link Was easy enough to use. I'm just confused about the seating it doesn't match up and I hope we actually get in the show ha ha will post later
I ordered two tickets at $252 each. My total charge was $923.62 I contacted them and haven't received an explanation over four hours ago.
This was my first time using this site and it pretty much is self explanatory. I would recommend this to others who are looking for events. It's great when things aren't too difficult. I give this online site a big thumbs up.
I orders my ticket today and veery confused what to do I have 3 emails is this how I confirm it or do I call youll...,
I tried to order online but because seats weren't contiguous, I couldn't do so. When I called customer service, Cesar was very helpful, but I was astonished to hear that the service fee was essentially 35% of the ticket price. Ridiculous.
Overall great experience as always. Would definitely recommend others to use this sight. Can't wait for the concert.
I was trying to buy tickets to see Les Mis Friday night but accidentally bought them for tonight (Wednesday) like 15 minutes before the show was supposed to start. I was able to call and the nice gentleman on the phone, I don't remember his name, was able to give me a store credit for my mistake. I then called back a second time to purchase tickets for the correct night and Joseph was very helpful and checked multiple times for me that the shipping address was correct and not going to the billing address. Both customer service agents were very kind and helpful.
The price on the web site said 164 each and the total price for two tickets came out to 427 so I feel like I just got rip off.
Thought this was the website for the theatre. Severely overpriced and even restrictive in their allowing any one to critique them in less than 100 characters.
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);-)
