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.

So far so good... can't wait for the event though!
Purchased tickets for the Segerstrom Hall for the Nutcracker. Three days before the event the contacted me to say that they made an error and they didn't have the tickets they sold me. They tried to upgrade me back to the first purchased seats for 400.00 additional dollars. I contacted them multiple times and they offered no solutions. Buyer beware, the old bate and switch scheme. Online City Tickets are scam artists.
Order went through almost right away, confirmed well with a good amount of follow-up.
BUYER BEWARE!
This place is a total RIP OFF. They charge exceedingly for the well over face value, which you expect to some degree but these guys shamelessly charge $200 + per ticket for processing fee and then you don't even get your tickets right away. Instead you pay them thousands of dollars and HAVE TO WAIT MONTHS before you even get your tickets... I'm still waiting. So we'll see. Fingers crossed that I even get the tickets.
I wouldn't give them any starts but had to give them something to submit the review.
I'm still struggling with this issue of not having MY name on the tickets and the price being about 1/2 of what I paid. I wont use a third party source again.
I appreciate this opportunity to order in this way
I would have given it 5 stars, but I couldn't find anywhere on the website that the tickets would be in consecutive order in the rows. Had to call to clarify, which ate up 10 minutes of my night. No biggie overall. I will use this site again.
It was easy to use this site, and when I had an issue they were quick to respond and help
I order the tickets online in October for a December 4th concert. I didn't receive the e-tickets until 9:10 p.m. on December 2th. I had to find a place to print them off. If I could have received them at least a week before the concert it would have been more convenient. I was worried that I wouldn't receive them on time. Too close for comfort.
The site was easy to use however I'm still feeling disappointed that I was charged in USD for a show in Canada, when I also live in Canada. Seems like a bit of a
Money grab to me
It is nice to be able to purchase tickets from the comfort of your home. Tickets get expensive enough then you charge $16 a ticket to press a button. It should be one charge per order not ticket. A little ridiculous don't you think.
Applied for tickets to a show, as I had no luck with other sites and with simple access and straight forward detail, they saved my trip and I got the tickets for my show!.
The ordering process on your site was very easy and convenient! However, I'm not sure paying about 3x the ticket prices and all of your FEES, made the convenience so worth it! Hence the 3 STAR review!
Ordered tickets 2 months before concert, spend $125 on a $50 seat. Ticket got sent to my spam folder the day before concert. Will not do business again. Horrible.
Our tickets were not at will call as promised. Called emergency number. Alex who was the contact seemed to think that we got tickets for the 7 pm show. He was apologetic but by the time he got to the theatre with the tickets, the show was 15 minutes in! My 11 year old was upset and wanted to leave! We watched the show but that was not a good experience
I paid 317.99$ for 2 tickets on Online City Tickets. Finally the real value for each ticket was 52.75$ per ticket. I paid more than 200$ more that it actually worth. Do not trust this website. Never buy any tickets on it! They'll steal your money.
Buying tickets for my son's first concert was super easy and I will come here again for future concerts!
I would like to be able to choose the seats I want when I order
I ordered 5 tickets for the disastrous Sacramento Kanye concert, and was very concerned when refunds were being given that I wouldn't receive a refund because this is a resale site.
I did receive a full refund, including fees and all. Very happy.
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);-)
