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.

An alternative
February 1, 2018

While I wish I had gotten my tickets soon enough to pick the seats! Wanted for quite a bit cheaper, these guys made it possible to still go for cheaper than the other resale companies. I do wish that resale companies weren't able to buy a bunch of tickets up so quick though :( we were lucky enough to have the funds THIS TIME, but we won't always be able to pay this much.

Highway Robbery
January 31, 2018

Didn't realize I was on a resale site till I went to check out. The site is easy enough to use but charging service fees like this should be illegal! There are very few musicians I'm willing to fork out this much money for.

While I expected to pay top dollar for the concert seats I did not expect to pay over $200 more per ticket in service fees for them. OUTRAGEOUS!

We are excited to get tickets for Hamilton. It was easy to do even though we have never paid so much for theater tickets in our entire lives.

This site was simple and quick to use. However, I was unpleasantly surprised by the service fee and 'email deliver' fee. In the end, our $41 tickets ended up being $56 each. I probably should have checked with Ticketmaster first to see if the fees were less.

Started by attempting to purchase tix online. Wouldn't let me get pass "Review order". Called and got a customer rep (Ellie) after wandering thru the automated menu several times. She was able to help me make the purchase; very patient, very capable. Got the confirmation email and the request for review email but no ticket email. Called back after waiting 4 hours (show is in 2 days and did NOT want to disappoint my grandson) and Ashley (I think) resent the email successfully to another email account.

Not sure what happened, but was told some servers won't let these attachments go through. Pretty sure that's a canned response they are required to use. I say that because once the tix came into that secondary account I immediately forwarded it to the original -- and it immediately came through. Just saying...

$7.50 instant download fee? Really? You guys must have some really high electric costs and ISP fees -- or some very expensive help. But, after all, it did take them 4 hours to "instantly" download my tix so that's only $1.875 an hour.
