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.

Love that I was able to get tickets for me and my girlfriend on her birthday only problemI have is I thought the tickets were gonna be next to each other they sent me a ticket thats a seat away from mine anyways Ill just have to order straight from the website where the tickets are sold next time
Once I got control of the seating arrangement it was an easy ride. And the next time I need tickets it will be even easier with no waisted time.
I normally do not purchase tickets from 3rd party services, but I am fortunate to have found Onlinecity tickets. I received my tickets within days of my purchase. Thanks for making my birthday gift to myself so easy!
You offered me a $20 discount on my tickets but did not give it to me! So upset! This site has offers that your company does not follow through with!
I was charged TWO separate service charges for my order! One was $42, and the other was $15! I reached out to their customer service for an explanation for the charges, and they refused to provide an answer. Terrible customer service as well! Will NEVER use this site again, and definitely do NOT recommend!
Process was simple and intuitive. What is NOT intuitive is a $70+ service fee for a simple email. If I was not laid up with an injury, I would have cancelled the transaction and driven downtown, paid $5 to park and stood in the cold to buy tickets at the box office. I'm one angry, one-time customer.
Bon Jovi tickets, always a little worried about buying things online and actually getting them. Thanks so much for asking what my thoughts were
Although it was simple to place the order it took almost 10 hours for me to receive the email to print the tickets! I would have thought the email would have been received within 30 min! Infact I received the inquiry email before I received the email to print tickets!
Do not ever use this vendor to get tickets for anything. After saving months for tickets to Hamilton at CIBC, my tickets were limited view, plus I am disabled and ended up on the only floor without disabled access. Additionally, fees were exorbitant. Go with another vendor.
The service charges ought to be lower. Eventually, there will be a backlash as people will stop buying tickets at this site.
Almost $19 dollars service fee per ticket is outrageous! How hard is it to process a ticket? Are we paying a computer $19 per ticket to process the order? Who does that money go to?
I purchased two ticket and the name on the tickets was not mine. I am not sure I under why this is the case? Also why am I being charged 107.00 per ticket but the actual price was 75.00?
When I placed my order it was 294.60 for 5 tickets to see the Monster Jam in Wichita Kansas. These are just average seats. When I printed off my tickets it shows the price was $ 20.00 each. I was VERY disappointed to find out I paid $194.60 in FEE's. It is very hard for a working Family to take their Children to any events. The name on the tickets are not even in my name they are in Sarah Ramsey who knows who She IS. NOT sure if I will order again.
I got tickets via email and timely however; I doubt I use this site again due to the absurdly high fees associated. They are not shown until you are at final payment section in the totals - no way should there be this cost per ticket!
The fees on the order were way too high. The response and very knowledgable and fast reply email was also sent.
Thanks - -- -Michael Woiak
Need to tell the amount of Service Fee along with the ticket price.
The site is easy but surprised at the service fees.
It was good and it was easy. The only thing that I need to know is what to show or give at the door to get in the monster jam. This is the only question I have.
Ok it was easy to buy and very fast reply by email but I dont know if will receive my tickets by email or paper even I payed the mail to receive them
Great site, I will definitely order from here again. Its easy to navigate. The site says you will receive your tickets before the event but I was able to download and print my tickets within 15 minutes.
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);-)
