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.

Fast & friendly site to buy tickets. Saw a tv offering the tickets and found the site easy to buy it
A first timer and a bit hesitant! Unexpected total at conclusion of order. If I get tickets and get to see Jackson Browne I am all good. A bit unsure of the process
Service fees are a little much. Had I know I was paying more for buying my ticket here - I would have stopped around but the price of the tickets was going up as I was looking so I decided to hurry and buy before I couldn't. Lesson learned.
The website was very simple and easy to navigate and understand. I do wish the whole "pay for parking" would have been explained before I purchased my ticket.
Let's hope they really work. I don't have anything else to say so why do I need to waste my time types of 100 characters.
Extremely satisfied and would definitely book again and again and we cant wait to attend the musical first musical ever
Thought the service fees were out of control at 15% +, but the web site is well executed. Should have shopped around some more I suppose...
You shouldnt charge to download tickets. You are already getting a service fee. $30 parking cost me $46.50
Got two tickets from this site $34 dollars each. Service fee was excessive. Total was $108. Rearranged my work schedule to go to the concert. The concert got postponed 3 days later and made the concert unavailable for me. Said they can't give refunds because they aren't the actual holder of the tickets. They are pretty much just the middle men. If you use this site don't expect a refund when there is a mess-up with the concert itself.
Easy to use and easy to purchase but the service charges are excessive. $4 dollars more than Live Nation and $7.50 for online delivery. Come on guys this is ridiculous. I know you have to make money but that is over the top. However the show I wanted was sold out and did not have time and effort to search for sellers.
Aún no recibí mi ticket para el concierto, cuando lo recibiré? Ya lo pague el martes pasado y nadie me envió naa para descargar el ticket, por favor espero su respuesta
Ordered tickets in a matter of minutes. Easy and simple. Gift for my daughter. Would recommend but fee was higher than I expected.
I was very satisfied overall. Everything was very simple to navigate and was very fast, I will definitely be using this site again for future ticket purchases.
This was a great service just wish the service charges weren't so high. Two $66 tickets ended up costing almost $250!
I got tickets to see THE GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD, and it was painless. THANK YOU! I hope to get all of my tickets from here in the future.
Quick and easy. Received the instant download tickets via email within a few minutes. Would use this site again and would also highly recommend it to others!
It was very easy to purchase the tickets to the concert. I'm very pleased with the process. I received the e-mail right away to download & print my tickets.
Tickets were very easy to purchase, found the information very user friendly and the speed of the tickets being transferred is very quick, also appreciated. Using FLASH SEATS is very effective and feels like a quick and easy way that should not cost much in service fees. Everything electronic, and I see that we have a charge for Flash Seats on top of the service fee, but the service fee was about 30% of the cost of the ticket, that just feels outrageous. Misleading when you see the cost of the ticket and you grab that one you think you can afford, then you find out that there is such a large fee on top of the ticket charge. Would like to have some hint ahead of time what to add onto the ticket cost just so not so surprised when time to check out. (No surprises during the selection process when buying).
Kept me updated on the process of my order. Had no issues receiving and we're in perfect condition and in time for the show.
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);-)
