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.

This is a poor site. One can not pick the actual seats, only the row. Terrible! I have not seen such bad technology in many years.

Del Ray Concert
December 29, 2017

Ticket purchasing is complicated. Not a smooth process and extra fees. I do not recommend this process for purchasing tickets.

Very Disappointed
December 29, 2017

I feel a little scammed given what I paid versus the actual face value of the ticket. The fact that there is no way to return my tickets is very disappointing.

Efficient

I was able to locate good seats in good time. Not to mention the actual ordering and delivery of the tickets were a breeze.

I am a Canadian. I want or make all Canadians who migh use this site know that this ticket reseller is American. They do not tell you this during your transaction but you will see you interest charges. There are Canadian ticket sellers and I could of saved 145.00 Canadian dollars. Just horrible

Although I was able to find tickets, when including service fee, and email delivery fee (go figure, charging for delivery via email), paid 2.24 times the face value of $69.00 for each ticket. That it is outrageous, and I will be very aware of that the next time I search for tickets online. The most frustrating part is that when I searched for The Kennedy Center and was brought to the official website link, when I clicked on tickets it brought me to the Online City Tickets web page, rather than to the venues own ticket sales facility. So I assumed that the venue was using this venue to sell tickets and proceeded to place my order, after which I was stuck with. Be very careful when you search for tickets this way. Pedro C.

Total rip off
December 28, 2017

I never got tickets before so I used this site only to find out ticket master was half the price and when they sent me an e-mail it says that I was charged in US funds for my Edmonton tickets. Why? Plus as I read other reviews I agree the service charges ars rediculess. I would never use them again

Concert isn't until Feb. So not sure if the tickets are valid yet.The first time I tried to purchase, the seats that I had originally chosen were somehow changed at the final checkout window, and if I hadn't caught it, then my daughter and I would've had really crappy seats for the same price. BE CAREFUL AND READ EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU CONFIRM YOUR ORDER!

Very annoyed that I had to pay to expidite tix and that's on top of the service fee. If this was electronic I wouldn't have to pay the extra shipping fee. Then you sent me a $20 dollar off email that I couldn't use because I already checked out. Considering these tix are like over $100 each by the time I am done is disheartening to take my family to see the Nutcrackers.

Pricey but convenient
December 28, 2017

Service fees were much higher than expected, $59.00 per seat plus $7.50 for email delivery. Email should be free. :(

Robbed
December 27, 2017

I was so excited to get these tickets. I thought I was on ticket master to get where I normally get my tickets come to find out I wasnt and the same tickets I bought for $137 fees included are originally $25 each. So I way over paid and Im highly upset about this. And theres no way to cancel my order which is highly unfair. And I still have yet to get an email with my tickets, So this is the last time I will be using this website

Tickets received
December 28, 2017

It does the job. Review of all tickets and sorting could be easier. The website was somewhat slow and could be revised to be able to navigate with ease. There should be one site that has all the tickets available, not trying to find available seats by looking on three or more sites.

Hate these Online Sites
December 26, 2017

Such crap that the only option that you have to purchase tickets are these online scam sites, that add on a huge service fee to each ticket. It wouldn't be as bad, except they don't tell you the fee until the end. Unfortunately, there are little options to buy tickets otherwise, so you have to use them. The only way to actually express dissatisfaction is with a negative review, which this is... I just hope the show is worth it.
