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.

Last Minute
February 27, 2018

I was great to be able to find tickets after show is sold out, but the service fees are ridiculous. I also wonder if this is a sight that goes in and buys up a bunch of tickets when they go on sale and then hikes the price up.

Overpriced
February 26, 2018

Face value of the tickets are $45 yet I was charged $90. I understand a service fee but that's a huge difference.

Too pricey
February 26, 2018

Was very easy to use the website to purchase tickets for a concert. The only thing is that the service charge are too high and to purchase just one ticket costed almost double the price of the ticket.

Tickets too pricey
February 26, 2018

I do not like the service charge added on for mobile tickets. Plus you do not get them emailed until the day of the concert. I will not be using this service again.

Pricey
February 26, 2018

You charge too much for a computer purchase. Your site is buggy. Page blanks out sometimes when filling in information.

I paid more than $55 in service and delivery charges for 2 tickets. It's enough that it makes their low prices seem deceptive. I should have shopped around a little more... other sites had higher ticket prices, but maybe the total transaction would have been similar or even cheaper if they didn't have such ridiculous "hidden" fees.

Unkept promise
February 26, 2018

I was informed in an e-mail that I would get $20 off if I continued my purchase at time of check out. It didn't happen.

I have not had enough experience to write a review. We received the tickets as a gift but am concerned with the others commenting that the tickets with all the fees cost much more than anticipated. Not a good way to operate a business. I hope the ticket retrieval is not a problem after all the added expense. Not a good first experience. Will think twice before ordering additional tickets for other events. Now we also have to be concerned with a possible change in start time that becomes our responsibility. Now I hope the rest of the experience is better.

Buying tickets on this website was simple and easy, but they really should tell you up front that the tickets need to be printed. Thank God I was home because the event Im going too is in 4 hours! And like other online ticket purchasing websites, the service charges are high, but no higher than others. Just have to bend over and say please sir, can I have some more...

Absolutely the worst customer service ever, never stated in the buying process that their policy is no exchange or no return. Even airlines gives you a 24 hour led way to cancel. I as any other human being made the mistake of clicking the wrong date for the event and asked if it could be changed to the correct following week. Spoke to a lady that showed ABSOLUTELY no compassion. Will never purchase a ticket here even if someone handed them to be free. Do not want to EVER be in business with this company.

Not enough information
February 25, 2018

I thought I would be able to download my tickets. Like most other websites but then read in the email that they need to be printed and I dont own a printer. Now that its 7pm and the tickets are for tomorrow morning this will be very inconvenient. Wish it was said before completing my order that I would have to actually print

Fast simple
February 25, 2018

Retrieving tickets is a little complicated. It could be a lot easier if you are purchasing and electronic copy. It should not be as tricky and going through a process that is not necessary.

Fast and user friendly
February 25, 2018

I'm sixty and it was still relatively easy to navigate, and the speed of the transaction and follow up was refreshing. Will use again
For certain.
