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.

Efficient & user friendly
February 18, 2018

I hope it works on concert day. The experience was ok. The fees were really high & I have to have a smartphone to enter? I hope it works. Why can I not just print the ticket?

What a rip-off! Over-priced seats, and a whopping $25 service charge per seat. How on earth can this company justify a $25 service fee PER TICKET?!

Service fee!?
February 18, 2018

$27 service fee per ticket... kind of extreme if you ask me. I can understand a $5-10 service fee but $27 per ticket... WTF

This was a rip-off
February 16, 2018

I just paid $234 for two $87 tickets! Way to be a rip-off! Paid for instant download because there was no other option but I still have to print the tickets to get into the venue.

Very professional
February 18, 2018

The guy I talked to was Doniminique (Hope I spelled his name correct) but he was patient with me. I was being very picky about my seating and he gave me some good advice on seating at a cheaper price.

It was fine
February 16, 2018

No problems or hesitations, very seamless process. There should be a warning that there is a $40 "handling fee" per ticket on top of the advertised price. I wasn't particularly surprised, but I really, really dislike those fake low prices; I wish people would just be straight up about what they want.

Easy to navigate

I would have liked to see which seats were available and not just the row. This is my first time buying tickets, how do I find out more about the VIP section?

I have a surprised Birthday weekend planned for my husband. I called online city tickets to purchase my tickets with a customer service representative to get advise on what the best seats would be for me and my husband. I had selected a balcony seat row and online final review of purchase I asked if there were any better seats than row B the representative notify me that there were seats open in the orchestra with no obstruction view it would be closer to the stage and if it was up to him he would purchase the orchestra seats. After repeatedly asking him if there were any obstruction and told no the purchase was confirmed and I was given row W seats 2 and 4 on looking at masters seating it is obstructed view and there is a pole between our seats. I asked to speak to a supervisor and the supervisor let me know it will be under review but not likely to be result in those seats will refunded. I feel like this customer service is in adequate and were not willing to assign me my original requested seat and let me pay the difference. I called spoke with Ticketmaster they also confirm that W 2 and 4 were obstructed view seat and it they shouldve notified me on me purchasing those tickets and they also let me know to call my credit card and file a dispute which I have. The only thing I wish was for my husband to have the perfect birthday weekend and online city tickets theater customer service sold me an obstructed view ticket and now will not go back on their guarantee satisfaction on letting me purchase my original request. Would not recommend this site

Don't buy from this site... if your performer postpones no refund. I have been waiting for 5 months now to get some kind of confirmation. All I can get is that the performer is postponed, so no refund. He may be dead by the time I get a refund! There should be some kind of time frame, after so long you get your money refunded.

Hate buying online
February 15, 2018

There should not be a 30$ fee for each ticket when you know that isnt for anything special. Still have to use online to get them anyway.

Ordered tickets in haste - didn't realize this was a 3rd party site. I'm a little nervous that someone else's name is on my tickets. Will have to wait til the night of the concert and hopefully there won't be any issues.

USD in Canada?
February 15, 2018

Holy crap, super expensive tickets. If the event is in Canada, the prices should be in CAD. Not happy about this.
