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 good I really miss paper tickets though because saving a receipt isn't as fun as saving a ticket and putting it in a book. That said I was impressed with the efficiency of doing the entire process online.
The site was easy to navigate, the order was easy to place, payment process was easy to go through and my tickets arrived the next day! Great!
No snags, easy to use. Liked the venue map to select seating of choice. Liked the final amount displayed on the left column when checking out.
I purchased tickets to a concert and the next day I realized I wouldn't be able to make the concert. I know my fault. So I contacted the customer service because their website says they give refunds, the customer service person told me that they couldn't give a refund because my tickets had already shipped. Okay, if you say you give refunds don't tell my you can't give me a refund. I bought the tickets the day before! They also don't give any description or pricing on the UPS shipping so you go in blind and end up like I did $14 wasted on shipping for tickets for a concert that wouldn't begin for 2 months... worst experience ever, if I could give 0 stars I would.
This is the fast and fun great site got the tickets nice and easy PEZ yeah I love to do it again recommended family and friends
This site was very easy to use and I received my tickets shortly after I placed the order. I would recommend this site to my friends.
This site would not allow us to have tickets at will call, or deliver any other way but via electronic on the computer. Because we are captured to buy our tickets it cost an additional $42.50 per ticket to deliver the tickets on the computer. WHY! This is insane! There is no reason why it should cost so much per ticket! I could MAYBE wrap my head around $42.50 per transaction, but per ticket? You all are thief's of the captive audience. You should be ashamed but you won't because you're a empty conglomerate!
Was pretty easy to use. Just look for what you need and just click and that's pretty much all. I feel that it's simple and to the point. If I can do this anybody can.
Super easy to purchase concert tickets, they deliver fast as well. So far so good and will use the site again for concert tickets.
Easy user friendly! Great to use and easy to understand it, and find information on the internet! I was amazed that I found information so fast, and could call my galfriends and get them to look at information!
It was easy to order tickets for the game of the New York Rangers. We look forward huge live to see our first NHL game.
Nice service and fast. I bougth a ticket for houston rockets because i love the team. I am from colombia and i love houston
I found the perfect seat on the first row A, and the price wasn't bad either for the show. I am sure that I will enjoy the show and the performers.
This site was easy and manageable to manevere. They were quick to respond with the order. This is extremely important for mature people who are not accustomed to technolgy and sometimes freak out with it all.
I purchased tickets two months before the event and was promised that when I received my tickets (5 days prior to the event) that the seats would be in the section (214) that I chose, but possibly anywhere between rows A through R. When I received the emailed tickets, they were in a different section, (204) which was to the side of the stage and much of the show was out of our view. It appeared to me that this section was full of comped ticket holders. I will beware to never use onlinecitytickets again. The service fees were the highest I have ever paid also. We asked ushers if we could be moved. They said we could stand in another area that was not acceptable. They said we should have bought our tickets from Ticketmaster. I did not know I had a choice at the time because the onlinecitytickets site popped up when I started the process to buy tickets. I just thought they were the only site to purchase tickets for theTSO show. I was Ripped off. The final ticket prices were each about $30 less than the site had originally shown on the day I purchased them also.
When I got the tickets it turns out they were originally $100 each. Not the $150 per that I paid. Plus $45 in fees. Absurd trying to make money off of face value tickets.
I liked everything about the process other than being required to write this review. A one-hundred letter response is excessive.
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);-)
