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.

I bought concert tickets from online city tickets. Com and then I needed more tickets and bought them from ticketmaster directly. Originally when the tickets were bought the concert time was 7pm, after a month later the concert time was switched to 4pm. My daughters dance recital wouldnt end until 5pm with an hour drive away. Online city tickets would not issue a refund. Ticketmaster however did issue a refund on our additional tickets.
They told me you can try to re-sale your tickets, however they didnt even offer to try and do it for me on there site.
$6.95 to send an automated email when you buy tickets. That is on top if the $23.95 service charge we pay to the ticket venue. What BS. Oh and the tickets are sent together in 1 email
Ms. Christina is an amazing person with great communication skills and to me seems she likes ppl as she was very informative and didn't mind going into detail with the few questions I asked her. This was my first time calling and will be using the company more often. It was a great experience.
It was a fast pace and easy way to order tickets online. The website had a very nice and easy to navigate layout of how to order and what was available.
The tickets say: sold to Omar Sider. Will I have any issues with his name being on the two tickets I purchased?
Thank you,
Elin Bastianelli
I was able to reserve and receive my tickets in a matter of minutes! Im extremely satisfied! I went into it thinking it was going to be a long and confusing process but I was proven wrong (and that isnt a bad thing in these cases HAHA)
I wholly recommend buying through them 8) you wont be disappointed!
The whole was easy and painless. Charges were a little high but other wise a good experience. Printing out the tickets was a piece of cake.
Ability to search and purchase my tix was a piece of cake. Site was easy to navigate and my order was processed right away.
Confirmation followed to insure the transaction was completed.
I truly appreciate how easy it was to see what section and row of the theatre
Our tickets were in. It was easy to get the date and time of the show.
I had trouble with payment option, I had to try multiple times but eventually it went through. Other than that it was easy enough.
Easy to order right from my phone. Thanks for the visual of the venue and seating. Thanks for the 10% discount. The service fee is kinda steep though.
Pay for and get your tickets in the same day, even as soon as 1 houre. You also get to select the section and seats that you want all in about 6 easy steps.
Pretty easy to buy tickets thx for the show.il be here for the Jimmie buffet concert as well. Hell yeah rick on
I ordered 3 tickets at 360 Formula One for 30 seconds to Mars, they were worth $11 each, total was $50. Really?
I always find the cheapest prices on tickets to Tampa events at OnlineCityTickets. It's my first stop when looking for tickets. I comparison shop, and always return to this site for the best prices.
There was a little too much to do on my end to receive tickets. As a customer i just want to order tickets and have them sent to my phone.
I purchased tickets for Yankee game and after several phone calls and emails stating my etickets were going to be delivered before the game I never got them. They accused me if deletingthe email. NEVER RECEIVED IT! Went to the game, paid for parking because they told me they were sendung to my phone and didnt. 3 hours on phone call with them and never got into the game. Customer service was rude IT staff was worse. No refunds. SCAM! Buy from someone else
Good site to use, however i never saw the final price details of service fees Somehow a $58 ticket's final price was $71
This is one of the most unethical companies Ive ever come across! They pose themselves as an official ticket website for a venue in your area and if youre not paying attention closely enough like myself, you end up paying THREE TIMES the cost of the tickets youre after! Ouch... rough lesson learned!
They absolutely will not refund your money. I even disputed the transaction with my bank and it was rejected by the online city bank. Basically youre screwed!
My hope is that this email will save many out there from this HORRENDOUS SCAM COMPANY!
DO NOT do business with this company for youre own good: Plz!
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);-)
