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.

Service fee for e-mail a bit much cheaper to just go to ticket master. May or may not use this web site again.
Worried that I bought tickets the day before they went on for sale but we will see! I saw a lot about no seats or wrong dates but i didn't have an issue with that.
Just amazing and fast no difficulties and everything is straight to the point it has great prices and deals and I can't wait to order more tickets off of the website
Easy to order online but 2 issues. They charge a fee for eticket delivery which is absurd and they have the performance time wrong on the confirmation.
Service charge outrageous. 2 service charges per ticket! You charge but do not give seat assignment. Will never use you again.
I have been excited to see Morrissey for a long time now. And now that I got a chance to see them it's surreal. Using this site to buy my tickets was nice and easy and hassle-free. I can't wait till the concert tonight.
It was so easy and received my tickets within minutes - hated paying those "service fees" but I guess you get that anywhere
After selecting tickets at a particular price-point and entering payment information, only THEN do they spring an additional $25 per ticket transaction fee on you. This is a variation of bait-and-switch, which I resent. Also, almost every other online ticket site allows you to see and pick the individual seats you wish on a detailed seat map, rather than just by section, with no indication of where Row C versus Row CC is. Confusing, and unnecessary in this day and age.
Easy, friendly, good for use in mobile phone, fast and confotable for to buy the tickets. Recomendable for other peoples
The final price of the ticket purchased was much more than I was expecting. They also included a delivery charge for ticket, but it was an email/download for ticket.
They have the absolute worst customer service I have ever delt with. I have been going to concerts since the 80s and my last purchase with them was awful. The tickets got lost out in cyberspace and I never received them. They then told me I cant get a refund even though I never got my tickets. 3 hours later getting with Ticketmaster I arranged to drive to the venue to physically pick up tickets. Dont buy from these guys because if you have an issue they dont care.
Couldn't be happier, was able to secure tickets to Luke Bryan in Calgary! AWESOME! ROW 5! LOVING IT!
Can't wait to see the wife's expression when she sees that she will be in row 5!
Don't know how this thing works, too many steps to follow, do this and do that on all emails it is very confusing.
Fast and easy service and i would recommend this service to all family and friends in the future. And I look forward to using this service again for upcoming events in my area.
Very good services, easy to buy, easy to deliver easier to print and easier to go! To choose on site is clear
And very easy to drive through the site.
I recommended it!
I'm really glad I didn't have to go through the hassle of creating a new account just to buy concert tickets like on every other ticket purchasing website.
Pretty smooth operation here. Downloaded and printed well and fast.
Love it! Prices for concerts are far to high these day's, but it's the artist that demands the price.
I live in Canada and this company must buy tickets anywhere and resell them in USD. This is written in small print and the prices are all in USD. After looking at my credit card bill, the tickets cost double what I had ordered. I wanted to get a refund and was told there was no chance and pushed aside. No refund at all? I will never come back, write more terrible reviews, and tell everyone to watch out for this scam.
Handling charges seem quite high for e-tickets, thus the 4 stars. But the whole process was quick and easy. I guess you have to pay for the convenience.
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);-)
