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.

Used online city tickets for the first time and it will be my last. The concert I had bought tickets for was rescheduled and I was not going to be able to attend the new date since I flew in my friend from out of state to go with me and she couldn't stay longer. I tried calling to get a refund and they wouldnt accommodate my request. I paid over $25 per ticket in EXTRA service fees for what? I couldnt get a simple refund for something that no longer worked with my schedule. If the artist had to change the date or time of something that's fine but we as the costumer should also have the option to go to new date or get a refund. Not happy!
I loved the site to purchase my tickets. It was quick and easy and very convenient. I love that I could print my tickets at home..
Wow... only toke a few second... make my electio... wait for a couple minutes is finish I have my confirmation ready... thx excellent job...!
Easy site to navigate. I requested overnight delivery. Today is May 18. The confirmation said tickets arrive on May 24. Hope I receive them as requested as we are leaving town before the 24th.
I tried to submit and you made it work, ice reserved before to see elvis costello in downtown lis angeles and it worked out great we had great seats
This was my first time using OnlineCityTickets. Let me just say I can not believe how easy it was to use the site and to purchase tickets! I also can not believe that I got the tickets the very next day! I will definitely use OnlineCityTickets again!
I ordered wrestling tickets it was kinda of easy I would recommend it it to my family and friends...
I have not ordered tickets online before so I am still scared these tickets won't work when my daughter uses them however, very easy to use and got an email with tickets within the hour.
Easy process to order tickets, easy web site to navigate, pretty simple process and the ability to search for tickets with various sort options is customer friendly
I received my ticket way sooner than I thought so that was a bonus and the electronic transfer was so simple and easy!
Have not received my tickets yet. Have gone back and added the mobile app. Do we know whe I'll be getting those?
A good way to buy tickets. I will recommend this page to buy tickets for an instant download. A better way to look for seats.
Real good website if you're looking for last minute tickets. It's a real simple program and you receive everything quickly. Thank you.
Overall pretty good but wish it were condensed in one email or two without having to jump through so many hoops just to print the tickets.
I was not expecting a $200 per ticker surcharge to handling, etc. That information should have been included in the ticket price to be fair.
My son bought these tickets for him and his sister as they have always wanted too see the show. The tickets cost 80.00 face value after all charges 365.00 paid for an average seat floor middle row P.
Great nice site used it before. Eill use it again and tell people about it. Easy to use site good concert tickets here
Easy to order but, confusing. Customer service was good but not very professional. After receiving my tickets and making sure they are good at the door than my review will be different.
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);-)
