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 will use this site in the future. Once the event comes I will see if there is an issue with admittance.
My review will be good, when my tickets come through on email. Thank you The process was easy and the site was easy to navigate.
Very reliable and easy to use! Would use again and recomend to everyone! First time using it... tickets are reasonably price and easy to find...
Hopefully the tickets are next to eachother it does not specify when purchasing them. So please do that in the future so we can see that as customers
Good experience, user friendly website. I have not yet received my tickets through email, but hopefully I will receive better seats than what was purchased originally. I am excited about attending the play and look forward to future purchases
I didn't realize what a steep price tickets I got were than from Ticketmaster. I'm deeply disappointed that I paid $20+ per ticket.
You offered only ONE shipping option which was UPS overnight delivery for 24.98. The play is in March and I did not need to pay for overnight delivery, but that was the only shipping option offered. No one wants to have to pay for a service that they don't need so for that reason I will not recommend your site to anyone. If you want 5 stars then you need to refund me that outrageous shipping fee.
Very quick and very easy to use they are the first persoins i bought tickets from i would recccomend any one to use them its is so user frendly and its amazing simply amazing thats all i can say!
Very easy to do. Fun, great way of purchasing stuff online for people to do. I love going to events and concerts and this is a nice easy way to do it
Was able to purchase tickets quickly and without the stress that frequently accompanies other services. Will likely use this site again.
This was very helpful and a easy way to get my tickets. I will definitely be purchasing more tickets from here in the furture.
So Fast and So easy! It was awesome service. I didn't have to worry about anything. I can't wait for the concert, and I will use this service again.
I had a difficult time receiving my tickets. I am not familiar with flash tickets. I hope I am able to get into the concert with my printed out version. Very confusing.
They are more expensive then most. Lousy customer service if you can reach them. Horrible return policy. Ordered tickets in March for a June 25th concert. They delivered the tickets 1 week before concert. Not worth the aggravation doing business with them. Would recommend Vivid seats.
Great easy and fast. I found what i wanted at a great price. I can't wait my kid is gonna be so happy
Fast and easy to get the tickets for the show. Will definitely use the site again for future tickets
It was easy to buy the tickets and they were delivered in a few minutes. I recommend to everyone. They also had the price point I was looking for, although the service charge was a little high to me.
The seats are not sitting together and OnlineCityTickets is not responding to my live chat. There is no way to contact them. Will not do business with them again.
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);-)
