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.

The price of my tickets was awesome. I can't wait to see Allan Jackson in concert with my oldest sister
Not happy about that. When I go back I do see that it says that on the site right at the end of the process. Very misleading, as it is a Canadian venue.
The process worked very well and easily. I wish the site would say what the original ticket price was, in addition to the retail price we pay. Also would like to be able to choose seats, or at least know what they are beforehand.
I will look at my charge card, and hope the charges are accurate.
Fast and easy. Convenient way to order tickets. Can't wait to go to My Monster Jam event. I would probably use this online ticketing order site again
This was my first time using this and it was a great ticket service, liked the instant download of tickets e-miles to me!
While I don't approve of the gangsters who buy up a bunch of tickets they know will sell fast then turn around and sell for double at minimum when the show sells out, this site was very fast and easy to use.
Thank you for a proficient and secure process. Ease of use and friendly end user experience. Ticket access and payment was seamless.
I had a really really good experience with this website I would definitely recommend going through them
Easy to navigate, but very vague when it comes to where exactly you'll be seated, and also they make it seem like the ticket insurance doesn't cost anything, and then when you've already completed your order, it tells you that you will be charges separately for the insurance though another source, and even then it still does not tell you how much the charge will be. Though its a good idea, there should be more information regarding the insurances price.
Would much rather be able to print the tickets. I'm not real say with computer things, especially when I have to access a PDF file
I liked Online City Tickets. Fast and affordable. I really liked how the tickets were very cheap and i keep getting emails for tickets and concerts coming up. I will definitely use them again
They did a awesome job fast n easy and cheap also i really liked it I would recommend this for everyone and I say that j will use this site again such a great job
I have never been so outraged about buying concert tickets. Just received my mastercard statement to realize it was converted to USD funds...
The site is easy to use but I would feel better and more confident if I knew what seats I had on today and if I was receive the tickets earlier than 3/15.
The Website is easy to use, I can pick whatever seat that I want, it shows me the prices, I click on the ones that I want, and pay. It took 3 minutes, No problem.
Why can't I select my row and seats? Why is it limited to just the section, and then up to the whim of the supplier to place me in my seat? That doesn't seem right, especially not at these prices.
I asked for refund because I did not authorize this purchase and was basically told to $#*! off and just resale them so now I'm out of almost 300.00 and have tickets for a show I won't be attending. Oh well, $#*! it, let me claim these tickets and try to find three little kids who like wrestling because I don't... I can't wait for the BBB to follow up on this.
Fastest order Ive ever done! Quick and easy and stress free! Convenient way to order tickets in the comfort of your own home!
Additional fees were too high. Would have liked to have the tickets sent to me. Would have been cheaper than the fee to email them.
Terrible Customer service. I almost feel as if I have been scammed. No one can explain to me what is going on with my tickets. The live chat tells me to call the number. The number is constantly busy. I do not recommend using onlinecity to buy event tickets
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);-)
