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
January 19, 2018

Honestly I would have been okay with ONE $16.95 fee for using the site- I get it- its a service... but charging $16.95 for every ticket that I purchased and then on TOP of that another $6.95 to have my tickets emailed to me?!?! There should be NO FEE for that! Im just really disappointed and I feel like I got ripped off.

PayPal was an option but the site would not let me use it. I think your service charges are crazy especially since it's all done on computer and email. I could have bought almost another ticket for what I paid in service charges

Services Outrageous
January 19, 2018

Services fees incredibly high for the price of the tickets. They could be proportional to the cost of the ticket. I bought $86/ticket and the total cost was over $230 for two people.

RIP OFF
January 19, 2018

The face value of tickets is doubled plus then the fees on top of them. When the tickets arrive they have someone else's name on it and the original face value of the ticket which isn't advertised to you at the time of purchase... This is a complete waste of money. Calling customer service all you get is a person telling you well you didn't buy from ticketmaster. I will never ever use this again or recommend it to anyone.

Ordering the tix was easy once I figured out where I wanted to sit and saw what was available. But when I printed the tix and saw a lesser price than what I just paid I was kinda stunned. Then I figured it out. Scalpers scoop up the price n jack up the price and I thought that was really stupid. Then a $12 service charge per ticket, awesome right? I guess my problem was with the jacked up price but not the ordering part that was less confusing.

Hidden fees
January 19, 2018

Deceptive pricing that you don't realize until the end of the buying process. Extra fee for arbitrary services. Extra fee for online purchase (usually online purchases are cheaper, not more expensive).

I was going to buy the GOOD SEATS but when I went to check out they added over $100 for service charges plus ELECTRONIC delivery fees. Outrageous! I ended up buying cheaper tickets, because they were for my grandson and he would've been heartbroken if I didn't, and they still charged almost $12 per ticket service charge and $8 electronic delivery charge. PURE GREED!

High Service Charge
January 19, 2018

Easy to Use but not inexpensive. Was caught a little off guard by the high service charge. I'll clearly be more prepared the next time.

Online ticket purchase
January 19, 2018

Did not see anything less than $70. Missed out on low price tickets. This was a presale purchase so not sure if they had already been bought out or not offered yet.

Quick and easy
January 19, 2018

Easy. You pay what you are expecting. Not too expensive. Just a little confusing when you select tickets they are not held for you. So I had to try to buy tickets more than once.

Fees
January 19, 2018

Fees for tickets are too darned high. 30% surcharge is a bit much. 20 % I'd be less likely to complain. Tax is almost 9%, plus a delivery charge, and it is electronic, plus a surcharge makes me want to just stay home in the future.

$49.00 tickets cost me $108.090 apiece. Greedy! As a 62 yr. Old I learned another valuable lesson. Go to the venue's ticket office gate 1 and buy direct, pay the actual face value of 49.00 ea. No additional fees, Ticket master wanted even more. Live and learn. :( :)
