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.

Received my tickets minutes after purchase, and after many many resale purchases, I will say their fees were not bad at all!
In my excitement to obtain the tickets, I failed to look at the breakdown of the cost as closely as I should have. Basically $80.00 in service charges, which is crazy. If I could have cancelled the order, I would have.
When the U2 tickets went on sale I was desperate to get mine but didn't know where to buy them. I found this site saying it was Foxboro ticket sales, I figured it was legit. I searched the tickets and some were very expensive but the GA (general admission) on the floor were pretty cheap so I grabbed a couple of those. Then I did some more searching and found one on Level 1 that was expensive but I decided it was a better option since I have a hip replacements and don't want to stand up the whole time. I figured I could cancel my 1st order but no, they won't let you. On top of that the Service charge was over $150 WOW! A $515 ticket ended up costing me $683, unbelievable. I didn't see the service charge until after I already committed to buying the ticket. To top it off I don't even get the tickets right away. There's something funky going on and they don't send them until weeks later and something on the web site said it may have someone else's name on it. Is this really LEGIT! Seems like something really strange going on. I never heard of anything like that before. I hope I don't have to call the AG to report any problems. I'm very nervous at this point. If all goes well I will report back as a happy camper but too many questions at this point.
Prices for tickets were very reasonable. Will be ordering again for future events! There was no hassle whatsoever I went on line indicating what I wanted and received my order fast.
Easy to use site, simple to purchase and print tickets. Very excited to go see this show. Will use again-- thank you!
Site was slick and easy, however seats were almost $50 each and totaled around $148. Printed my tickets and they say $25 each. Wondering if the tickets were marked up on the site. Shouldn't be since I pay around $17 a seat for a handling fee or something like that. Hard to believe there would be any type of fee when you print your own tickets; no labor on SiteJabber's end. I know they wont let this review be posted. Just being honest.
The site was well organized and user friendly. I was able to see the theater layout while selecting my tickets. Yay! We're looking forward to the show.:-)
Had a hard time viewing seating. But managed and hopefully picked great seats for my first time for myself and my daughter. Wish the upper seats wasnt so expensive
Got my tickets for half of resale price at ticket master. Had no problem getting the electronic tickets like I had with another ticket agency. Very easy. Thanks!
I found the online ordering very easy and the tickets came very quickly. No waiting in line to get the tickets, just printed them from home!
All prices were shown in Canadian funds as the venue was in Canada. Never thought that that the total would be in usd. In the end, 2 $104, oo tickets cost $379.
I paid extra for delivery, could've paid less. Also UPS left the package under my mailbox on the ground.
Fastest service I've ever had!. My order was bought and confirmed all in the same day. I'm very pleased!
I used this service and it was as good as using Ticketmaster. No glitches. Quick online service. The only thing different was I selected a section, and was give the row letters, but not seat numbers. The seat assignment arrived with the online ticket email.
This was so easy and enjoyable! So excited to go the game without any worries of tickets.
Thank you so much!
This process is very easy but with the rate exchange rate, it doesn't make much sense for Canadians. I ended up spending close to $800 for two tickets that would likely cost me maybe $300 here.
Thank you so much. It was a good experience. I did already submit a review during the process but this is a fine follow-up. Thanks 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);-)
