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.

First time using OnlineCityTickets.com. The transaction was smooth and the suite tickets we bought were exactly what had hoped for. 100% legit!
Had to pay 40u$ for taxis but i got my ticket at 11 am & i enjoy the event. No issues at the entrance or other stuff. If i have to go to another event ill buy my ticket with you guys. Probably early so I can get the UPS delivery.
The whole process went very smoothly. Not excited I have to sign up for some bull$#*! website just to prove I got my tickets tho..
Very good process no lproblems got my tickets the next day. Good seats i couldn't ask for better service.
Getting tickets online is much easier than i thought. Now hopefully i wont have to stand in line and wait as long as i did the last time at the event.
I found the site quick and easy to use. Didn't take no time at all to get confirmation and to be able to print my tickets
They are notorious for holding onto tickets until the last minute FOR NO REASON. When asked, they have no answer. Bought tickets for a major show month's early and they still have not arrived.
BUYER BEWARE.
Picked my ticket for my event was pretty simple. Hit sumit and print. Tickets in hand. Will use it again.
This experience with Online City Tickets was great. Easy to understand and walked through just fine. Have not received the tickets yet so cannot say any thing about that part. But I would use again and recommend to a friend.
Love the tickets I bought, the seats are fantastic. They were sent electronically which was a bonus. Very expensive ticket prices.
I will useful site! Super easy and quick! I will use again! Found exactly what I needed! Can't wait to order again and again!
1st time I will not know an accurate review until June 18th when I actually go to the concert I purchased the tickets for.
It was easy to find tickets and great ones but I don't like how I will be receiving my tickets a couple days before the concert, almost making it seem scamish. I think this part of the website and company needs to change. They should have the tickets prepared to be sent after purchasing, especially since they make one pay so much money as a service fee, which in my opinion is outrageous. As well don't bother with their customer service, they send an email saying their busy attending other customers and they never get back to you. I emailed someone a week ago or more and they told me wait 72hrs at most but its been almost more than a week and no response. Not my number one goto for tickets next time.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
I love the red rocks. Online tickets are such a convenience. I will always check ur website for all tickets
It always seems odd that an event gets sold out the second tickets go on sale but you can get in by other ticket vendors with little effort for the right price. I didn't go for the swanky tickets but I did get someone else name on my ticket stub. Either way, I'm going and he isn't because he was willing to make an extra buck. Thanks stranger.
I ordered the tickets for my daughter and her friends a couple of days ago and I received the tickets very quickly but it was a little complicated to order.
When they offer tickets for $19 it's an obvious fraud, because total you pay is $32. Besides they do not guarantee an order fulfillment and can cancel it just 4 hours before the event (just like it happened to me today)!
Please, stay away!
I thought I was purchasing tickets through the arena and should've known better when I saw there was a no return policy. I spent over $100 more by going though this website and unfortunately was unable to reverse the transaction.
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);-)
