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.

Finding the tickets you want is super easy. The fees for electronic delivery, however, are ridiculous. They are $35+ PER TICKET and you aren't given another option to get your ticket. I actually would have bought MORE tickets, because there were a few people on the fence about coming and I'm sure I would have been able to find other people to come if they were unable to. But no, not with the excessive fees.

Great service.

I spoke with Justin, and he was incredibly helpful in finding the best tickets as we are unfamiliar with your venue. He deserves praise for his professionalism, and friendly demeanor..

Should have just driven to the arena, no seat choice, just a vague section and row description, needed 3 seats so if there was a closer row with 4 seats available I was limited to buying only 2 or 4 seats. And $50 service fee, you have to be kidding, selling that many tickets you could build and run a new server for each event, and hire new staf to service them each time, total rip-off for what they offer, use a different service or just go to the arena...

Fees are a rip off
February 3, 2018

Ordering is smoothly, although on the screen they only show the section and not the seats.

However, 36 USD fee for EACH ticket and an additional 7 USD for electronic processing is outrageous and ridiculous. For downloads for crying out loud!

This is robbery!

Too many additional fees
February 4, 2018

Cost for email ticket delivery (the only option available) is very pricey. The purchase process was easy but the excessive added fees may keep me away next time.

Total fees not posted on initial purchase page. Only when I got to purchase confirmation. Sneaky to grab you once you've committed to the event.

Whoa... USD?
February 3, 2018

Wow, way to scam people. You need to make it LOUD AND CLEAR that you're charging USD! I'll know better next time. Why would you charge USD for a concert being held in Canada, and being purchased for in Canada? Way to scam people!

Easy and quick, but don't give me only one option for the type of ticket (electronic delivery) and then charge me a ridiculous amount extra for choosing the only option available. Tickets are already a hundred dollars each... Stupid.

Too many hidden fees.
February 3, 2018

The fees and charges nearly doubled the original price. I ordered 4 tickets for a concert at $69 a piece, and when i was ready to checkout, they added about $28 per ticket making my total go from $224 to $367. I wasn't very happy.

Elton John Tickets

Ordering was quick & easy and I was able to download the tickets in minutes. I recommend purchasing insurance. You never know what might happen over the next year.

Deceitful Ticket Seller
February 2, 2018

I saw this website and opened it. I clicked on the second tab that listed two 2 tickets@ $47.00 each. This is what the cost of the upper level of Scotttrade Center for the Elton John concert at Scottrade. I quickly clicked on it, provided the information needed and completed the transaction. I received a confirmation showing my order totaled $129.63. This time, the ticket information said Section 1401 Locust St.; VENUE Row A. That is when I realized the order was for parking and not the concert. I feel this was very confusing and deceiving due to the price of the tickets. I called the customer service number (*******156). After calling several times to their automated system, I finally was connected to Marcus. I explained the situation to him and he said there was nothing that could be done. I asked for his supervisor and spoke to Melina D., who said that she could offer me a $15.00 credit towards a future purchase. I declined this and asked to speak with a Manager and she said she was, in charge that the Managers were for internal problems only. Then I asked her if I could re-sell the parking tickets on the site and she said it was only for licensed sellers. I know they said no refunds, but they should not deceive the public. I bought the tickets for my Husband for our 37th Anniversary in October. Oh well now I have to tell him what happened which I really dread.

I would like to see and choose the actual seat numbers instead of it being a mystery until paid for. Also, the fee for downloading is ridiculous.

I don't like that this site doesn't sell you exact seats, it seems shady, and I want a refund, but they do not refund.
