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.

Great service from OnlineCity Tickets. As a visitor from UK I had never heard of this company but on 15th October 2016 at 17:45 I found out about the Tidal X 1015 charity gig in Brooklyn. This site was selling tickets, I bought 2 and at 19.45 we were in the gig. So great, faultless service. I had to ring the Customer Services whilst in the line to the Batclays Stadium and they emailed the tickets to me a few minutes later. I highly recommend this site.
Excellent service, It is very easy and simple to buy tickets.
I could not have paid more money for a worse seat if I have set out with that very purpose in mind. I paid 3x the price available for the seat next to mine direct from the venue. Customer Service responded promptly with no solution. I agreed to pay that price. The fact that the seller was gouging me was my own fault.
Not ever again.
I've never purchased tickets from other than Ticketmaster outlets before. This was a time saver, and as long as they're "no hassle at the door" I'm a happy camper!
I needed to cancel the order due to a chance in circumstances & I could not. Never heard of not being able to cancel an order that has not shipped. Will never buy from this site ever again.
Got tickets quickly. Ordered section 111, but got section 114. Not quite as good of seats, but "comparable" as the disclaimer allows for.
Purchasing Coldplay tickets through Online City Tickets was very easy. I found my tickets to purchase very quickly. No hidden costs, but a bit steep in price for the service charge and download capability. I would purchase tickets again using this method.
I have received order *******. However, I have yet to receive ticket and seat confirmation via e-mail.
Though the markup on the tickets are a bit high I was able to obtain floor tickets a day before they where due to go on sale. This venue would have been sold out if I had to wait. Well worth the extra money.
I was a little Leary about the site at first. However, after purchasing my tickets and getting an email with the tickets right away I thought that was great! I really didn't like the fee of $15 each ticket. I thought that was a little high but bought the tickets anyway as a gift.
Got the order confirmation, but still don't know if the seats are together because I haven't received the tickets. I don't go to a lot of concerts, so I don't know if this is the way buying a ticket goes. If so, I don't like it. I navigate to the First Niagara Stadium website for tickets and get sent to this website, where I'm paying maybe more or maybe less for tickets? Don't understand why.
I order two ticket only to find out the seating was not together? Not sure why you do that type of seating. My Bad
I received confirmation of my order, but am not expected to get my tickets until March 20th, 2017. I requested email delivery. When I get those tickets then I will feel more confident to review this site.
The site overall was easy to use; however, the site showed that the seats were $62 a piece, plus the email processing fee. I was charged a total of $168.15
I bought tickets on-line and received quick confirmation and follow up. Can't ask for anything more.
I needed to get tickets for 6 people and it worked out great! We are all in the same row and it really was effortless.
I never used this site before, but I'm very satisfy.
I received an email confirming a ticket order. Delivery of the tickets will be no later than September 30,2017. So far so good.
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);-)
