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.

It was very easy and straight forward, great seats and quick process. I printed the tickets within 15 min. Excellent service
Easy and fast. Excited about the concert. We will purchase again from you guys
Thanks for a easy experience
"Convenience fees" really high, web site acts as it were actually Allstate Arena. Too late before you realize what's going on here
I attempted to purchase tickets for an 11:30 AM performance of the Ringling Brothers Circus. A computer glitch resulted in my receipt of tickets for a 7:30 PM performance. I immediately contacted Online City Tickets to rectify the situation. I was told that I could not exchange the tickets for an 11:30 AM performance. I indicated that I could not attend the 7:30 PM performance and it would be very expensive to incur the costs of the tickets. I was advised to try to sell them elsewhere. Handling costs for ticket purchases are, in my opinion, excessive and considerably more than other ticket vendors. I will never deal with them again
I received my tickets fast, printed them and got confirmation right away. It was as easy as 1, 2, 3. I'm a first time user on this site and it was self explanatory and easy to use.
Easy to navigate, choices seemed limited. Shipping also limited. Unclear as to why I would need to wait so long for tickets to ship.
Easy access to ordering concert tickets. I was worried at first about ordering them online but it worked out great.
Very pleased with overall service. Very quick and easy. I like not having to deal with phone calls. Online ordering is the way to go!
Was very easy to order, fast and efficient. Only wish would be to have tickets sooner. Concert is July 25th but won't receive email tickets until July 23rd?
Thank you for the tickets. Process was very easy and very simple to maneuver. We appreciate the delivery of tickets in a timely manner.
Thank you for your assistance in purchasing these tickets. The process was simple and accessible, always great to know you are in my back pocket.
It was quick and easy, what more can I say... Bravo!
I found the site while looking for tickets to Bruno Mars online, first time I've used them and very pleased with the service!
I think it was a good experience I just don't want to get ripped off and not get tickets or have tickets and them not work at the doors
Haven't downloaded the tickets yet but the email was sent almost immediately with the tickets I purchased. Thanks
It came so quickly i love it! I really cant wait to go see the concert now! I will deffinately be ordering from here again
Easy service and use of website. Confirmation of tickets came through very quickly. Looking forward to the show!
We just purchased tickets to an event, the online charge was steep. We received the electronic download of the event tickets soon after purchasing.
We have yet to know if the tickets will actually get us into the event because the event is still two months away. Looks promising at this time.
The price of the tickets was reasonable, but the online charge was very high.
We are hoping for the best.
Great experience and easy to use! So excited to have these tickets and have had such an easy time making the right decision.
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);-)
