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.

The processing fees on this site were outrageous! Of course you need to have them but not $40 for a ticket that is $140.
Looking for last minute tickets and it was a breeze with you site! Will definitely recommend this site to all. I got a great seat!
Quick service. Good seat selection on such short notice. I like the venue and it is easy to get to from Philadelphia. Very easy process to have the tickets downloaded.
Wish I was able to pick the seat in the front row. Only bought a ticket. Am I able to move forward towards the front of the seat is empty?
Price displayed is attractive but when placing order the price goes up due to service fees! Feels like a trap
Was easy to use, however the service fee was enormous, I would not recommend for just any shows, otherwise it was great.
Thanks for last minute instant downloading for ticket purchase. Definitely Works Great.We would is this site again in the Future
Easy site but will get you on service charges almost $30. Well if it gets me to the concert then it's worth it
I liked using your website. Your website made getting my order great. Only thing I dont like is this part. Making me write a review. To time consuming.
The website says the concert starts at 7 pm The ticket says the concert starts at 8 pm Confusing. I do not want to be bothered having to contact someone regarding changes. I hope I get an email.
I understand now that mostly everything is done electronically there has to be some kind of service fee but this website gave me ONE option to use the e-download for my tickets, instead of mailing them, fine. But then they charged me to download the tickets?! Why? I won't be using this site again, but the process was painless (until I got charged more for the processing fees than the tickets themselves!)
Service charge was almost 30% of the purchase price. I wouldn't recommend this for everyday purchases unless you like throwing money away. If if weren't for this being a special occasion purchase, I would never have made the purchase.
Service charge is too steep- prevented me from buying 4 tickets- I get it but then to add $7:50 for a download is like getting the pitch fork with out the devils lube.
I was excited because I purchased Row a Section a which I thought would be in the middle section because it didn't say otherwise and when I downloaded tickets turns out its off to the left section I'm dissapointed
This was easy and hassle free would do it again for another show absolutely. I would prefer a more specific description of the seating, like the actual rows are not pictured but other than that everything was great.
Bought the tickets. Came out if my debit card already. Waiting to see if I have any issues yet. Your asking me to write a review that is 100 characters long but all I have to go by so far is an email confirmation and money taken already. Still have to receive the tickets
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);-)
