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.

We paid 425 dollars for four tickets to PNB's Nutcracker each had facevalue of $30. This is really a scam. DO NOT USE THIS SITE
The service fees are quite high. It shouldn't cost almost $25 on top of a $77 ticket. This was my first experience with your service. I'll be sure to try another method next time.
Wish they would put all the fees up front..kind of pisses me off when you go through all the answering and see the final charge.
Tickets had a listed price of $58. I ended up paying $157 by the time all the add-ons were figured in and made it to check out. My friends that I bought the tickets for were rightly very upset at the price, although I ended up eating all the extra charges and they just paid me for the ticket price. NEVER AGAIN will I buy from this site.
Easy and fast, but the service fees are somewhat unreasonable. Also needed a better seating chart with position of the performance stage.
It was a great site and experience. Just get it done. What a waste of time filling out a review...,...
Good quick service. Only wish service charge wasn't so high. That should be put in ticket prices before checkout.
The theater website links to different purchasing sites in order to actually purchase the tickets online. After buying, I went to print my tickets. 4 ticket for $226. I was sent the e-tickets to print. Face value is $15 a ticket or total sale of $60. Absolutely ridiculous. Will never use of recommend this site to anyone.
Great price, Slightly lower service fees Prompt electronic delivery. Would use them again
Iserfriendly
Can't select and verify actual seats and fees are too high. Next time will consider buying from the box office.
Didn't like the fact that you have to pay for instant download. The price is rediculous. I will purchase much earlier next time and get by mail
The site is easy to use. The service fees are very high. It is a shame that it costs a quarter of the ticket price just l to get a ticket.
I do not understand how you can charge me to download an electronic PDF? It seems unfair, like does it really cost 8 bucks for a computer to electronically generate an email and PDF?
The overall purchase was fast and good but not so specific in seeting. Thank you for reserving the seats, and looking forward for the delevery process
The website was efficient and user friendly for buying two tickets, which cost $94 each to see Lewis Black. I was shocked, however, when the total cost of $252.84 was revealed on my "agree to pay" screen. Sixty-five dollars in fees? For what, Added Dealer Profit? I guess I will have to get accustomed to living in our corporate-owned oligarchy where the economically powerless are extorted without mercy or regulation. I hope Lewis is funny enough to justify the cost of two months' food for a family of four.
Fast, efficient, and Expensive Fast, efficient, and Expensive Fast, efficient, and Expensive Fast, efficient, and Expensive Fast, efficient, and Expensive Fast, efficient, and Expensive Fast, efficient, and Expensive
Easy to use, but need to work on prompt to check email for $20 discount on tickets before finish order.
Get rid of the fine print! Have the currency listed that the prices are in. Prices are also way higher then other sites. And also state no refunds!. Once I found out it was in US dollars I could not cancel my order.
The website and the shopping experience were easy and convenient, but I got a big surprise at checkout. I was charged a 10% fee per ticket handling charge... not 10% of each ticket's price, but 10% of the entire purchase PER TICKET. That came out to $45 x 3 in extra charges... I would not have minded if it were 10% of each ticket's cost, but 10% of the entire purchase price is insane. I will not be using them again.
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);-)
