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 OK tickets are on someone else's name and not yours, but who cares. I was really skeptical about our tickets, but everything went smooth, We got the tickets at exactly the same place we wanted, price was reasonable. I am so happy I purchased our ticket through this site, otherwise we would not be able to go as tickets were sold on Ticketmaster long time ago. Good deal!
Great! Got good seats and was thrilled with the easy process.
Easy and convenient. Is there a reason my name is not in the "issued to" on the tickets? Just want to make sure everything ok?
We Paid $32.00 for $150.00 tickets in the 24th row on floor. It was amazing. Got a great view of the stage. Thank you so much! Can't wait to buy tickets from you again.
Outrageous service charge. Just give me one price for a ticket. $40 service charge for each ticket!
Buying straight from the Garden vs. Ticketmaster worked for me.
Bought tickets off here a few days ago after all the service fees and exchange rate the tickets were double the actual value of the ticket. Will never buy off of here again
F****** pieces of S*** ripped my dad off. My dad is not exactly computer literate and ended up buying the tickets from this service. He paid 3X! What the actual ticket cost. They don't show you the total you will pay until after you have made the order and then you can not cancel it. This has to be illegal! F**** You who ever runs this business you are the nothing but scum.
I got "flash tickets". It says I got the tickets, but I'm still not absolutely sure that I actually have the tickets. I'd much rather have an image of an electronic tickets or the old school physical items.
Have not received my tickets yet but previous experience has been very good.
Reviewed my ticket request and was shown $84 per ticket. Ordered two tickets and
Was charge $418.00 - not very good relations at that rate. I will never purchase from
This site again.
Quick process and got the tickets within very short time of ordering
It would be better if the tickets were available to the seller immediately after transaction and if I didn't have to keep checking my email for updates.
I'm so excited! The whole process was fast and easy and I was able to get my tickets right away! Thank you!
Online City Tickets claims to sell tickets at competitive prices but they add large fees on the final step of the order and they fail to show you the total of the fees until after you place the order. Their site is designed to convince customers that they will get tickets at a certain price but then they add a HUGE service fee to the order. They also refuse to cancel the order once it has been placed! Buyers beware! Don't buy any tickets here!
Quick and easy to buy your tickets and have them emailed to you.
It was very easy to use. There was a fraud on my bank account though.
Everything went fast. I received my email within minutes of making the order. My main complaint is the unexpected fees tacked on at the end of the order. I ended up paying an extra $40 more than the cost of the tickets. What exactly is the $15.00 charge per ticket for? Then another $7.50 fee for the email... That's ridiculous! If I could really have afforded an extra $40, I would have gotten us floor seats to the concert!
When I placed my order for 2 concert tickets I didn't realize that I was on a website that was jacking up the ticket price! I immediately checked my Visa after placing the order and noticed that it was being charged to me in US dollars. I realized afterwards that the Venue in my city is charging $87 to $147 CDN per ticket. I thought that I had clicked on a local website when I was ordering the tickets. OnlineCityTickets charged me $532 USD for 2 tickets... The CDN dollar value came to $726! I immediately called to cancel my order (within 15 minutes of placing the order) but they won't refund my money! I WANT TO WARN EVERYONE NOT TO ORDER TICKETS FROM THIS COMPANY! I FEEL TOTALLY TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY THEM!
The process was simple and very smooth! I wish the seating chart would show row/seat numbers to help with selection. Overall a good process.
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);-)
