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.

Piece of cake - great transaction and price! You can't beat tickets coming right to your email and the site is user friendly. Two thumbs up.
I bought the tickets from this site at the site advertised $65 dollar value each one. Tickets arrived with a $45 dollar face value. After all the fees and everything my $45 dollar face value tickets cost me $88 dollars each one. NOW THATS A RIP OFF! Next time I'm just going to drive to the stadium and get them in person. All the people i bought tickets for will only give me $45 for each one which means i lost hundreds of dollars doing people a favor. I learned my lesson for sure. Don't buy tickets online from a third party! Two thumbs down.
Service was spot on and easy. I love discovering and beginning a member of receiving your emails. Thanks again!
I reserved tickets 5 weeks ago. Picked and paid a premium for the seats of my choice. Tonight when I went to print my tickets they had been sub out for B rate tickets in a back row side section. I contacted Online City and they told me they had the right to sub equal or better seating. The only thing is this is neither. The tickets they gave me in place of what I bought are currently selling for $30.00 each cheaper. Online City is a RIP OFF! Find another source!
It all worked out in my favor and i was very satisfied with how easy i got my tickets and purchase so with that i give this site 2 thumbs up
The process was easy, maybe too easy. Purchased tickets for 1/7. However, when the tickets arrived they are for the 8th. Since the tickets arrive on the 6th not much I can do but change my plans. Pretty inconvenient.
These guys take you personal security to a very comfortable level! Love their extra follow thru procedure, the ease at which you navigate thru their site to get your tickets. I am so impressed by the care they give without even speaking to a human. I'll probably go to more events.
I am giving this to my six year old for ger birthday, which starts on her birthday April 11th this year. I am very excited to take her to this.
After I purchased tickets here I found out that I was charged more than 3 times what I would have payed on Ticketmaster. Talk about a ripoff... I called to try to get a refund after I found out and the man I talked to wouldn't do anything and was very rude.
Easy experience would use again can't wait to see this show... I would recommend
It was very easy to find and purchase these tickets. I was also amazed at how fast they were delivered!
The purchase was quick and easy. I was worried because an associate of mine had a recent problem obtaining her tickets with OnlineCity but when she called in she said the issue was resolved and I purchased with no timeframe for errors and everything was perfect. Thank you!
Every email communication I received to inform me of the status of my order was clear, included what I could expect to receive next and when, as well as information on where to go if I had additional questions. Thanks for making this purchase experience fantastic!
Was very pleased with ease of ordering and would certainly do this again if the need would arise in the future.
I hope that I did everything right, I followed the instructions, which were very simple. I have registered and don't want to sell or transfer tickets, just want to see the show and the instructions for this are simple also. That helps when you are unsure and have not bought through an indirect company before. :) Would recommend and use again.
Awesome fast and friendly. I will definitely use it again if i need tickets for anything
I purchased garth brooks tickets for the Edmonton show first off the tickets were $104 dollars a piece i bought 2 my visa got charged 385.55 (not happy) and now after reading the reviews sounds like some ppl didn't even receive there email tickets
Easy transaction, got me e-tickets minutes after payment
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);-)
