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.

Do not use. Never got tickets had to pay at box office for more tickets refused to give refund. Ther help line will not answer or call or email you back. Im fighting to get credit card company to not pay them. They charged me for shipping then tell me its electronic download.
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Nothing bad to say. Thanks for a great buying experience.
This is the first time I used OnlineCity Tickets. I understand e tickets but they are saying they will not be ready until a day before the venue! Hope they come before then! Other wise the transaction went well!
I was about to purchase tickets online and i realized this was not the official Radio City site. I x'd out of the site by accident before removing my personal information. Somehow, my order got processed without me hitting any submit button. I contacting the chat immediately (you can't get anyone on the phone). The girl refused to reverse the order placed literally minutes prior even when I explained it was an error. I have never heard of such a policy and this site sucks. I have already submitted a complaint to Dept. of Consumer Affairs. NEVER EVER USE THIS SITE
Same story as the other reviews. Asked for seats in row A. Paid for seats in row A. But typical bait and switch from a pushy used car salesman at best with a thick accent sold me row AA. When I tried to dispute the ticket customer support or lack their of said sales are final regardless if I heard him correctly or not. Total scam and crooks. Buy from Ticketmaster or more reputable companies. Not these fly by night scam artists.
I found this to go well all together. From being excited to purchase the ticket, to being led through the process, to feeling slight annoyance at its complexity, to forgiving its complexity, I am overall very happy with this shopping experience.
I bought 2 tickets for my wife and I, why are they J9 and J11. They should be next to each other. I di not see any indication of seat numbers until I placed the order
This process was efficient and easy to use. I would recommend it to my friends. The directions were clear and concise. The responses were immediate to my requests. I enjoyed the and when ordering tickets I would use the process again. Thank you for providing this service for ordering tickets at the theater.
I wanted to purchase tickets to a local
Show and you are led to believe that you are buying from local theater and upon checkout you get to
This site. They charge triple what the seats cost and also charged $70 per ticket for surcharge. Ended up spending $600 on two tickets to a comedy show and tickets were selling from $65-115 in that area. Ripoff! Be careful!
Our tickets arrived quickly - Website easy to understand and use - nice feature showed how many were available in each section - saved time in seat selection
Wow a $30 service fee. Youre crooks. Thats one third of the cost of the tickets I bought. Thats ridiculous.
I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO BE FORCED INTO LEAVING A REVIEW IN ORDER TO RECEIVE MY TICKETS! AND THEN I MUST SIGN IN TO PROCEED AND HAVE MY REVIEW POSTED.
Very easy process and able to print tickets quickly and easily. Looking forward to a great new experience with my daughter!
Tickets were sent immediately. I loved because I purchased them 2 hours before show started and had a 45 min. Drive to venue.
Love the site, everything was easy going & simple. Highly recommend to everyone who wants to purchase tickets. This site is the easiest way to go
It was quick and easy to find where you could sit in location to the stage and buying your tickets was also very simple.
The online city tickets is a great and easy site to purchase tickets. I highly reccommend using this safe and secure site!
We spent over $550 on these tickets and they're not where they said they were! The customer service line ties you up in a series of questions and you can never get through to a person. THIS IS INFURIATING!
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);-)
