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.

I was unaware of this site and it's processed. I now feel more comfortable using it, and will definitely return.
Have bought all my summer big event tickets through this company and have gotten great seats and great service.
Is my first time and everything it was good and cheap better than other web sites, ver easy to buy any tickets
Service was obtained quick, easy and cheaper tickets. I would obtain TICKETS TROUGH this service again and recommend it to every one also.
Excellent site. I found that the site was very competitive in prices the only thing I didn't like was the fee. I'm not used to paying fees with Ticketmaster. They were sold out so I used this site. Very easy and the fees weren't too bad seen much higher at other ones.
This was easy, your website was user friendly and easy to manure. So excited and can't wait to see the event. Thanks!
I have the same issue as a lot of people that left reviews. We have service fees of $75.24 per ticket and a $7.50 fee to download? I think that is ridiculous. There is no way it costs anyone to send vial email or put on their own website to download, so $82.74 extra per ticket just seems like a way to get more money for the ticket, which I already paid $248.00 for, but make it look like its all fees. I am sorry, but there is no way it costs any of these online companies a fee like that for a ticket. Come on now! I think I am in the wrong business for sure. I gave them 5 stars because every place you go charges ridiculous fees and the online experience for me was outstanding.
Everything went smoothly with my order especially for someone who is not the most electronically saavy!
Extra charges were almost as costly as the tickets. However, the site was easy to use and I have received my tickets. Now if they are good at the door and nothing bad happens I will be happy.
Very quick and simple the way I like things easy as possible. I wish this was possible years ago much faster and easier than standing in a line over night.
First time ever ordering from OnlineCityTickets. The actual purchasing process was fast and easy. The service fees were definitely very high. I really wanted the chosen seating and proceeded to overlook the service fees. Received my tickets within an hour of purchasing them. Then I noticed that my tickets had someone else's name on them. I panicked because I paid a lot for the tickets and wanted to make sure that they were my tickets. The representative informed me that because the tickets were bought through a "secondary" market the name on the ticket is the primary market purchaser and they could not alter the tickets. Well I had never heard of this or experienced this before but she assured me that it's the barcode that is valid not the name on the ticket. Okey dokey! We'll see what happens when we show our tickets at the event. Don't know that I'll use them again. This was just weird to me.
Ecellent site and made ticket purchasing easy. Also made it easy to navigate the theater seats that were and weren't available. Will be purchasing from them again
Ordering the tickets was a breeze and I got them quickly. However, since it is done by computer, I have to wonder why there was such a wickedly high service fee per ticket. Has this organization taken a lesson from hotels?
Rudest customer service people i have ever spoken to. Extremely disrespectful. Horrible attitudes and not at all helpful. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE. It is a scam and they will steal all of your money. Run while you still can.
Awesome site, quick and easy. I will use again in future if needed. I'll tell my family and friends about my experience with your site.
Received tickets quickly, but the service fees are outrageous. The ticket prices are already way more expensive than the actual ticket price then we're paying high fees & additional to have the tickets mailed or downloaded. Which I'm not sure why there is a high charge per ticket to download them. Shouldn't cost to download the tickets. I understand having to pay some fees to keep the site running, but it's pretty ridiculous what the charges are.
Yes jresj kotdd jfj have done it. I am a beautiful person. Ihe, and I will be a good time to get the best way to get the best way to get the best way to get the best way to get the
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);-)
