OnlineCityTickets Reviews Summary

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.

So I received my tickets as promised... no issues there. My only complaint is that I paid too much. I don't frequent the Red Rocks venue to often and accidentally bought my tickets from OcT. All in all I purchased 6 tickets and paid roughly $42 dollars more per ticket than I would have had I bought them straight from the Red Rocks website. Therein lies the problem. When you Google Red Rocks Amphitheater OcT pops up as a paid website ad at the top of the search results. I was distracted and not paying attention and unfamiliar with how the Red Rocks site looked in comparison to OcT's site. It's not OcT fault I overpaid for my tickets, it's entirely mine. That said, be aware of what your buying and from who you're buying it. I'm sure OcT would be a great resource for sold-out shows, and I probably would have been fine with paying over face value had that been the case with my tickets. End all be all the experience was good and I received my tickets in the mail within a week of purchase.

Just a warning
March 1, 2018

This review is not about service fees. Those are gonna happen so deal with it. I am writing just to warn you that buying online only shows section and row - it DOES NOT SHOW SEAT NUMBERS! So you and your friends may be sitting apart. I called them to ask about this and they said I should buy from him instead to insure seats are together. I decided not to take that chance and went back to Ticketmaster.

Overnight is overnight
February 28, 2018

When I sent things overnight even if it was a weekend the person got the package the next day. I didn't charge a service fee.

This isn't the future of ticket sales. Charge what you advertise. Led Zeppelin will never die because Greta Van Fleet is a force of Rock and Roll. $#*! the system.

Bad company
February 28, 2018

Very displeased with the customer service and how the guy handled the situation. Regardless of the rules, somethings come up and should be taken into consideration. I will never use this company again

What a ripoff!
February 28, 2018

When I got the tickets and realized I paid double the face value I was appalled. I can understand making a profit but it this site is just ridiculous. I will never order from them again. Check Ticketmaster availability before ever using this rip-off site.

Very quick and easy!
February 28, 2018

I was very happy with how quickly and easily it was to buy the tickets, but after all the fees, the total cost was way more than I thought it would be. Expecting a total of around $400, it was closer to $500 after the fees. Very misleading!

Service fees are bogus!
February 28, 2018

If the price is listed a certain amount each + tax is one thing but then when checking out getting charged 30$ for some bogus service fee for each ticket that is just nonsense. Im not that happy with the service to pay that much!

George made my purchasing tickets very easy. He understood me and I understood him. That is very important to me. He not once tried to talk over me and was patient with all the spelling of my name and address.

The website was easy to use, but when I printed the tickets, I realized I paid $44 per ticket for a $16 ticket. That's disgusting and I won't be buying tickets online again. The ticket was twice the face value, then add $10.50 service fee per ticket and then the download fee, plus I'm using my own paper and ink (minor, but adds to the irritation factor).

Ridiculous fees
February 27, 2018

The fees per ticket are ridiculous and egregious (30%) and then $7.50 to download the tickets so that my printer is used to print them! Will never use them again. Avoid.

Nerve racking
February 27, 2018

I have purchased tickets off this website before. But never Metallica tickets. I am nervous because the tickets are $654.00 and it says the tickets will be emailed to you on December 6th when the concert is December 7th... I just would like to seen electronic version of my tickets ASAP...
