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.

Quick & easy
February 20, 2018

Easy ticket purchase. I found the event I was looking for along with a good selection of seating to select from.

Disappointed
February 20, 2018

First time using this site to purchase tickets, was required to buy random seats in a section not specific seats. For the money spent I received the worse possible seats in the section. Will not use site again.

I was pleasantly surprised when I printed my tickets, and my seating was better than what I had originally purchased. The seats were great and I had a good bonding experience with my hard to please teenagers! Thank you! Your website was easy to use, the auditorium view of where available seats: tickets was a great help in helping me decide which tickets to buy. The purchase process was simple, and my tickets were delivered immediately and easy to print. My only suggestion would be to add that there is a ticket price percentage fee somewhere on the price page... I had no idea that the fee would happen and had to wait another week to have enough money saved. I was afraid that the event would sell out before I could get tickets. But I'm new at this so maybe it was just me! LOL

Seats
February 20, 2018

Would be nice if some of the sections were listed as I dont know where my seats are going to be. So had to pick a section we might not even want

Very high charges added to the tickets and Online City Tickets is the only option for purchase which really sucks. Not only a service charge but then another fee to obtain the ticket electronically, which is the ONLY way to obtain them.

High price
February 22, 2018

The fees are too high for electronic tickets. Over $60 per ticket. Can you help me understand why the fees are so high?

I tried emailing and using the chat feature and couldn't. There were different codes attached to the general seating tickets and I couldn't figure out why and why the prices were different. Wasn't as easy to navigate as I'd hoped, but I have my tickets and good to go!

High handling fees
February 20, 2018

It was very easy shopping for tickets, and the prices seemed to be very good. Then when I went to check out the handling fees were way to HIGH! So with that being said I didn't get a good deal.

Online City Tickets Suck!
February 19, 2018

They cancelled my order due to an improper billing from another company last year. Basically stating that I withheld payment on an event. Entirely untrue, this company had inappropriately billed me for an event.

So this company (Online City Tickets) cancels my order. Completely unprofessional - I would not recommend ever using this company - EVER!

The charges of over 30% of the ticket price in addition to a service charge should be illegal this is horrible. Shame on you! You fooled me once NEVER Again!

Excellent
February 20, 2018

It's quick, easy, secure and worth it. I was looking to do something special for my grand children (particularly the boys) since I don't see them as often as I would like but when I do I do it with a "BANG". It is a surprise especially since his birthday is the day before the event and I know they love these kind of shows.

I was not happy about the amount of the service charge nor being charged to have access to download my tickets.

HORRIBLE
February 19, 2018

Just go to the direct venue, prices will be cheaper and will guarantee it better. So many hidden fees and boiler-point language when you agree. Very sneaky website that just takes advantage of you. AVOID!

Very prompt delivery
February 19, 2018

Service/delivery fees seem very high, but the service is quick. I haven't printed the tickets from the email, but will do so closer to the actual event.

On line tickets
February 19, 2018

Seemed easy enough. Printed tickets. Now the tough part is the waiting for the concert. And I have to write 100 characters so hope this fills the bill.

Service charge
February 19, 2018

Very easy site to use but the service charges are way out of line. I expected to pay m ore for the tickets, but the service charge will stop me in the future from using this site. A double whammy...

Pricy services charges.
February 18, 2018

Disappointed with the pricy service charges at the checkout. It removes the essence of purchasing online (avoid additional charges)
It should be not forced.
Other than that checkout is fast.
