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.

Too expensive "fees"
January 25, 2018

I get that you can charge above-market prices, but really, $75 per ticket--come on! This was my first time on the site and I won't be using it again

They boosted the prices of the tickets that we were looking at on our phone once we got onto the computer by a few hundred bucks. Then they charged nearly $600 in service fees, which is really insane. I will not be ordering from them again.

Fees were too high
January 25, 2018

The fees ended up being WAY more than the face value (1 1/2TIMES MORE!) on the tickets! Don't think I'll use this site again.

Fees were exorbitant
January 24, 2018

Fees were more than a quarter of what the ticket was worth. Too expensive. Would have purchased more tickets if fees were less. Also, not sure what the fees cover. I did all the work. Would like to get the $100+ paid in fees refunded.

I hear that tickets in Ticketmaster where much cheaper. I feel we paid too much using his vendor.

Unclear why this happened.

THEY HAD GENERAL ADMISSION-STANDING ROOM ONLY AND SECTION SRO ROW GO4 TICKETS TO CHOOSE FROM NOT KNOWING BECAUSE I NEVER BEEN TO THE PAGEANT. I CHOOSE SECTION SRO ROW G04 SEAT 1011 & *******, THINKING I WOULD GET A SEAT. I CALL THE PAGEANT AND WAS TOLD SRO MEANT STANDING ROOM ONLY. THIS WAS VERY MISLEADING. I'M UPSET THAT I HAVE TO STAND TO SEE A SHOW. (CALL THE VENUE BEFORE PAYING FOR YOUR TICKETS)

You had the wrong seating chart for the Chrysler Hall. Row N was not the first row of a section in the Orchestra. I specifically asked for a front row as I was attending the the Broadway with my young daughter and wanted to make sure she could see the performance. I called initially to buy tickets for row A in the balcony, and you explained to me the tickets in the balcony were random assigned and row N is the front of the section and know one would be sitting in front of us... again, you had the wrong seating chart. I will be contacting my credit card company to see if I can get my money back due to false advertising.

BUYER BEWARE
January 24, 2018

After my purchase I realized I had bought from a 3rd party. Paid DOUBLE what the tickets really cost. Next time I take my time and do research. This is my first time going to see a LIVE performance. Soo disappointing that I was scammed.

I don't buy tickets this way very often as I think the add on charges are way too high.
You think you are paying one price. But the add on charges were as much as another ticket to the same show. I know you have to make something on the sale, but really...

It's a trade off. Glad to go to the show but the price stings!
I'd have to look at the fine print to learn better where all the add ons came from.
