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.

Our event was set for reschedule due to covid-19. On-line has kept me updated on events and has quickly responded to my inquiries.
The Janet Jackson concert scheduled for July 27,2020 was cancelled due to the Pandemic which is at no fault of mine, but instead of issuing a refund they are issuing a credit. A credit, for one, I can not use until large events are allowed again in the country, and two, I need my money back due to financial reason. This company is unilaterally implementing a policy that benefits themselves and has no concern for the customer. When I questioned the policy there response was basically you can do what you want but we have our policies. The fees associated with this 3rd party reseller is ridiculously high, I will buy tickets directly from the venue or approved seller and not a 3rd party like this one. If the concert had been reschedule I would have been fine with going on the new date but this concert was cancelled at no fault of mine and I can't get a refund, that's ridiculous. I will never use this company again.

Concert is cancelled and they are not giving me a refund for three tickets in the amount of $1194. 30
I purchased $550 worth of tickets then covid happened. They said they cant give me a refund because they can't guarantee that the guy o bought from through their site would get a refund. When I had proof that he was getting a refund and sent it to them saying now I want mybrefund they stopped talking to me. They started having automated responses that didn't answer any questions and they would never answer their phones.
Worst customer service combined with absurd policies and hidden fees. Dont waste your time with this company! I promise you there are way better and cheaper options out there.
When I purchased tickets, the company's policy was to provide a full refund if an event was cancelled. This was confirmed via email when I had an event rescheduled, and they wouldn't provide a refund because the event wasn't technically cancelled. When the event was officially cancelled they changed their policy to only give store credit instead of a refund. Poor excuse for customer service.
Bought tickets to the NF concert in Tampa for my 2 daughters. Concert was rescheduled due to COVID-19, to a date that will not work for us. OnlineCityTicket policy is roughly. We do not care if the new date works for you or not, we have your money and we will never give it back to you. Companies around the world are being very accommodating to their customers during this time, but not OnlineCityTicket
STAY AWAY
Total rip-off sell tickets to concerts that are cancelled, postponed concert you have no idea that they will happen over a year in the future.
My tickets were cancelled due the to fact they said I had ordered tickets and never paid for them. I have NEVER used this site and they say I was cancelled for NON Payment of a previous event. Good I got a better deal directly from the box office.
Well this was a Christmas present for my wife. Paid for orchestra seats. Got last possible row. Guess I would be ok with that except 75% of the seats to the left and right of us were empty mean down to the stage! Agent of course said "oh this is very popular show" made me feel like I did good for my wife. I was so unhappy but made friends with the people around us and of course had to ask what they paid for their tickets. You really want to know, everyone around us paid half what we paid. This sound like a Trivago commercial. If Im not clear, paid for what I thought were great seats, highest price on their site, well those seats seats su*cked beyond belief. I have no recourse so I am just telling you beware.
I found the tickets. I clicked on the two I wanted. Online City Tickets ask for Payment method. You do not see the final order until they have credit card information. Then you see a lot of fees and policy is applied to your cost. Two tickets were $117.00 ended up costing $577.00. With no refund. I called and live chat 10 min after the order. No live person on phone calls and scripted answers from the live chat online. Take away: I will never buy tickets from this organization ever. Good with any purchase with this terrible company.
I tried to download the tickets to resale. I could not attend the event, so I was forced to re sale my tickets since it is no refund policy, but I could not download the tickets so that I could upload them, to a re sale site. I reported this many, times to seller. Thank God I didnt travel 2 hours to attend the event as the tickets werent there accessible for download. I had purchased the tickets 3 months before, but never thought of checkin it.
Since this purchase was made through a third party site, my bank denied the reversal. Pay pal also denied my claim.
*I was still denied my refund.
*I did not receive this product.
*I will report this to the BBB and the FTC,. I will give horrible reviews on the platforms.
This is not right to do this to customers, in bad ethics. Take their money and not return it, when the issue could not be resolved on the sellers' end, fraud.

Not everyone buying tickets on line are technology savvy. More instructions or descriptions need to be included before the BUY button is pushed.
Got the wrong company... looking for Ticket City... They're a terrible company If anybody else is out there has had problems with tickets city? Of they could give me a shout, would be awesome. Thank You
Submitted different shipping address when purchasing my tickets but the system did not pick it up and used my PayPal billing address for delivery (which I did not want for security reasons). I proceeded to use customer service chat and they changed the ship to address for me.
So I got Jimmy Buffett tickets and thet just rescheduled the concert for NEXT year! They will not give me a refund! I can underdtand if it is rescheduled a couple of weeks or a month out, but a year. I might not even be in the state in a year or even dead. This is complete BS and is just robbery. Anyone else have this issue. I usually buy from Ticket Master and they have always given refunds. I could not buy from Ticket Master and could only buy from this site. This seems like it should be illegal to do this. Anyone that can help, i would appreciate it.
Arthur was very professional and courteous. Helped to get us the tickets I wanted, helped with the pricing! Thank you so much! I am so glad the musical CATS came back to Dallas!
Would not refund tickets minutes after I purchased the tickets. I failed to see an exorbitant $127 service charge and clicked the button before realizing it. Additionally, they sent an email that said I would be receiving my tickets at the very latest 4 days before the performance. 3 before the performance, and I still didn't receive the tickets in my email. I had to go to their website and get them to download it to my email myself. No one should have to do this for the amount of money that we pay for these tickets. Customer service is dead.
The Alabama concert that was supposed to occur in Tallahassee on 10/10/19 has been postponed until September of 2020. When I called to ask for a refund, as the civic center suggested, they said they would not refund my money. Had I bought my tickets from the Civic Center, they are giving refunds to those who purchased tickets from them until October 17,2019. Had I known this, I would have never purchased from them. The customer "service" person couldn't care less. And, I had to pay extra fees when I bought the tickets!
I purchased tickets In February 2019, for Lynyrd Skynyrd concert for 9/27/19. Not familiar with the seating at this venue, these tickets were shown on their website at best available. Turns out they were in very extreme back of the Amphitheatre. Surrounded by and behind seats that cost 1/4th the price via other outlets. My bad that I did not check, being in a hurry and all! Paid $158.00 each for 2 tickets... Not only that over $100 in fees added for a total of $426.43! Everyone in this section paid around $50 each for their seats... what a RIP OFF COMPANY... won't get another buck from me!
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);-)
