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.

We paid 425 dollars for four tickets to PNB's Nutcracker each had facevalue of $30. This is really a scam. DO NOT USE THIS SITE

Easy to nav wevsite

The service fees are quite high. It shouldn't cost almost $25 on top of a $77 ticket. This was my first experience with your service. I'll be sure to try another method next time.

Tickets had a listed price of $58. I ended up paying $157 by the time all the add-ons were figured in and made it to check out. My friends that I bought the tickets for were rightly very upset at the price, although I ended up eating all the extra charges and they just paid me for the ticket price. NEVER AGAIN will I buy from this site.

High Service Fees
December 14, 2024

Easy and fast, but the service fees are somewhat unreasonable. Also needed a better seating chart with position of the performance stage.

Price Gouging
December 25, 2017

The theater website links to different purchasing sites in order to actually purchase the tickets online. After buying, I went to print my tickets. 4 ticket for $226. I was sent the e-tickets to print. Face value is $15 a ticket or total sale of $60. Absolutely ridiculous. Will never use of recommend this site to anyone.

Can't select and verify actual seats and fees are too high. Next time will consider buying from the box office.

Didn't like the fact that you have to pay for instant download. The price is rediculous. I will purchase much earlier next time and get by mail

The site is easy to use. The service fees are very high. It is a shame that it costs a quarter of the ticket price just l to get a ticket.

Service fees?
December 24, 2017

I do not understand how you can charge me to download an electronic PDF? It seems unfair, like does it really cost 8 bucks for a computer to electronically generate an email and PDF?

The website was efficient and user friendly for buying two tickets, which cost $94 each to see Lewis Black. I was shocked, however, when the total cost of $252.84 was revealed on my "agree to pay" screen. Sixty-five dollars in fees? For what, Added Dealer Profit? I guess I will have to get accustomed to living in our corporate-owned oligarchy where the economically powerless are extorted without mercy or regulation. I hope Lewis is funny enough to justify the cost of two months' food for a family of four.

Get rid of the fine print! Have the currency listed that the prices are in. Prices are also way higher then other sites. And also state no refunds!. Once I found out it was in US dollars I could not cancel my order.

The website and the shopping experience were easy and convenient, but I got a big surprise at checkout. I was charged a 10% fee per ticket handling charge... not 10% of each ticket's price, but 10% of the entire purchase PER TICKET. That came out to $45 x 3 in extra charges... I would not have minded if it were 10% of each ticket's cost, but 10% of the entire purchase price is insane. I will not be using them again.
