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.

Ordering the tickets was super easy! I don't buy online tickets often but I couldn't believe how easy it was and the price wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I can't wait till April my boys are going to LOVE IT!
I bought The tickets to concert scheduled for tomorrow. Email en voice said I woild Receive them my 8/30. No tickets received yet. When I called, I was Told I woild Receive my tickets by tomorrow, 1-2 hours before the event. The email offers a refund... but the only way I can Get a refund, I was Told to resell them. So I'm supposed to try to sell something I dont Have. I was Excited to go to this concert, types in the name of the band and got this site... I should Have just gone straight to a reputable website... stick wirh srubhub or ticket master... I woild Like to add, some people already have their tickets... why don't We?!?
Received my order? Ive received an email about my purchase... once I receive My order then I can Honestly say Ive reveceive it.
Fast and easy to buy my tickets. I hope to get it soon because I'm very excited for the concert. I was waiting for Luis Miguel's concert long time ago. This is my opportunity.
Easy to get tickets online and it was easy to get seats I wanted to see Paul Simon. Im going with family but it was easy to be in two places to order tickets
The whole idea of email is the delivery should be free as opposed to mailing. It is like that any other time I've ordered something from a different site. I am a parent of one of the performers and feel I am being taken advantage of. At least the ordering process was simple.
Great site, easy to navigate, great choices, and then... a 70 dollar processing fee. This sort of charge is taking advantage of consumers. I will report OnlineCityTickets to the Better Business Bureau and hope that you will too.
I received the wrong tickets. Please take care of this. It was just five minutes ago. I am sure it is an honest error. I feel you have time to correct this easily.
Found tickets next day for Post Malone right next to the stage for $150 CAD after taxes. I paid $291 CAD. They're service charges are ridiculous. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND OR USE THIS WEBSITE EVER AGAIN.
Purchased 2 Elton John tickets at US 750$ for a concert in Montreal
What I got was 2 tickets worth CAN 300$
Major ripoff of Can 600$
How can these people still be in business?
I paid over $300.00 for two Jeff Dunham tickets and requested online delivery so I can download immediately. I received tickets in some mans name with a price per ticket listed of less than $50.00. When I attempt to call the Custer service line about the problem, it has a recording saying a different name can be listed on the tickets because theyre transferable and theyll show the original purchasers name. I am the original purchaser! Never ever use onlinecitytickets.com for any purchase, they scam you and rip you off. Im filing multiple consumer reports and telling everyone I know to stay away!
What a ripoff! Never been overcharged this way. Will never use this service again and will inform all my contacts about this scam.
I understand everything costs money, but its pretty bad when you have to pay to print your own tickets and its the only choice given.
Had my tickets in no time - very easy to book. Could see the seats online and they were knowledgeable about the view and parking. I recommend booking through this no-hassle service.
Everything went smooth, but I was in such a hurry, i never looked at the seating chart. Can I upgrade closer to the event?
I am so excited saw kane brown once but never seen chris young I cannot wait! He has so many good songs Lanco Im excited to hear greatest love story. Plus sooooo easy to Purchase tickets
My experience on this site was extremely satisfactory. Easy to use and fast in both the acquisition and receipt of the ticket. Congratulations
Decent website but needs better interface for checkout and better understanding of the difference in seats in the Garden section. Theyre all marked Garden but have very different prices.
I canceled my tickets I never did except them and you guys are still trying to charge my credit card
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);-)
