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 ordering and quick return of the instant download tickets. I would like to see the cost of processing an instant download be less money but I guess you pay for speed.
First off, I called the customer service number provided and spent 10 minutes listening to different promotional advertisements. Then once I finally got to the menu, the recording told me 'goodbye'. The printable order confirmation page says I will receive the tickets through electronic download, I checked my junk mail only to receive an email asking if I received my order. (I have not). Then at the bottom of the page it says I will get my tickets shipped to me. (So which one is it?!?) I will not totally dismiss OnlineCityTickets just yet if I do receive them in the mail within the next four days, but so far it has been somewhat of an irritating/stressful experience.
Excited will be there on vacation and our 17th anniversary, nice surprise for my beautiful wife and the show is 4th of July so I'm sure there will be fireworks
While you are focusing on giving them the correct information to take your money, make sure you look to the left because you will be paying them A $15 SERVICE FEE! PER TICKET! I PROMISE YOU WILL FIND CHEAPER TICKETS THAN THIS PLACE. JUST KEEP LOOKING! Under no circumstances will they refund your money either. The worse customer service I have ever had. DO NOT GET TICKETS HERE! Oh and PS. They even charge you a fee to download your tickets! Hard to push those "send" keys nowadays I guess!
I purchased tickets in December to an event scheduled for June. Apparently the seller has some control issue and only wants to send tickets TWO days before the concert and customer service can only say "we are monitoring the situation". I have absolutely no trust that I will actually get tickets to this event that has been sold out for months. Tickets are released way before two days. Why not just send the tickets to the buyer as soon as they are available.!
Okay am pleased to have order my two tickets from Online City Tickets.
Thank you

Quick, easy, and fast. Couldnt find them in the same spot elsewhere. Worked out well and ended my searxh.
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);-)
