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.

Poor, not happy with the site. I paid for the tickets and later received an email advising me that my orde was canceled but it would take them 5 days to refund my money.
My first time using this service. Good service
Surprised that the cost was listed in U.S. Dollars for attending a CANADIAN Theatre!
This was very helpful! I didn't have to wait for a long period of time, and it was right on the dot.
Good I was happy with my purchase would but from again. Thumbs up! Five starsssss for this business for sureeeeeeee!
Theres a $48.5 service fare they don't tell you about until you're gonna buy, which is kind of a douche move, but overall quite good.

Best concert I've ever been to and OnlineCity provided great seats for a great price! I was concerned about the time of arrival of the tickets, but these guys are good! Other resellers charged more.
I bought the tickets thinking that I am paying Canadian Dollars and just noted from my bank statement that it is USD and I been charged $140 more. This show is in Vancouver Canada and there was nothing indicated on the site that price is USD. This is not right. I feel cheated.
Why is the face price of the tickets that I paid over $119 each for have a price of $48.50 on the face of the ticket? This is ridiculous and I am not happy.
Extremly easy to use. Much easier than many of the sites I've used in the past. The fee was a little higher than I expected.
Service is great however, it shows original price of $49 and my amount due was over $400.00! Not happy to see original price on downloaded ticket.
Quick, painless, and affordable. Tickets arrived in less than 10 minutes. There was not even enough time to worry.
Could not ask for better, quick and easy to use. Found exactly what I wanted. Will recommend to all my friends and family.
I would have purchased different tickets (more expensive tickets) had there been a description on them. But as there was none, I had to settle for what I knew to be an actual seating area.
I'm not impressed that I'm forced to write a review. The tickets were more than ticket master without the extra options. All in all it was easy.
Good custumer service and easy process to do in a few minutes and get tickets in know time i would like to buy in this website more often but not shure if i got my tickets
This website is simple to use and has an enormous amount of concerts listed. My only complaint is the outrageous service charges per ticket. I purchased 2 tickets and the service charges were over $150.00. Ridiculous!
It took 2 minutes to find the seats i could afford. I entered my information, charged the tickets. I got an email that my purchase was approved, i printed out, my tickets, and have them in my hand, this was so fast and so easy, this is a great! Website!
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);-)
