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.

Easy to navigate through the website. I thought the fees were a little high. Ticket prices were the cheapest though.
Now I'm getting irritated. I just want my tickets processed without all of this nonsense. I don't want to join anything. Just to get my tkckets PLEASE
They were only marked up 90%. Not really a good deal.
Not sure how they get away with selling tickets.
Cheaper than Flash seats and the process was so smooth. I liked that you had a picture of the arena for me to click on desired areas to scope out options and pricing other sites dont have that capability. Will use again in the future.
Received tickets quickly, fees are a little steep, hope they are valid tickets and there are no issues.
The process was quick and easy, but the fees of $32 seems ridiculously high. I probably will find another website to get tickets next time.
It was easy and simple. It was easy to process with payment. Wpuld recommend it to others. Just waoting for tickets!
From now we are very happy waiting the great event day. Our Christmas will be very nice in family.
Great site, no problems and I received the tickets immediately to be downloaded. Steep fees in my opinion. Overall, I would use them again.
Upon accessing website a map of venue was available to see seats listed below it and made it easier to purchase without having to access another page to see the venue map.
It says that the tickets will transfer on feb. 2 2017 but the concert is the 10th. It does not give me anyway to physically print the tickets.
I am so excited to be able to see him :) I have never been able to see a comedian live so I am super pumped to see this specific comedian. I cant wait to see what he is going to say when I see him next month.
Great Experience... Happy I got tickets. Easy way to buy online... Got confirmed right away
$60 in fees a bit steep but I have the tickets, so everything is cool, printed within an hour of ordering
Couldn't ask for more. They made it very easy. I will definitely look to buy tickets on this site again!
Received e-tickets same day and saved money! I will always go to Online City Tickets to get my tickets for events.
Fast process to purchase tickets with better seating options than the actual venue! Wow! I was totally surprised and very pleased!
I asked for 4 tickets for a Basketball game. He sold me two and immediately after said the other two weren't available. I was stuck with those two tickets, and passed around. I wasn't given any good customer service. I missed the game because I was on the phone with them for so long trying to figure things out. I am in sales, and I get the grind, but THESE PPL ARE SHADY. I hope they never get a dime of your business. Those seats are empty tonight because all they could think about is a quick buck.
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);-)
