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.

Took me no more then 5 minutes to order and download my tickets. Everything seems to be in correct order. I have no issues with my shopping experience. Two thumbs up!

We've spent a whole day trying to "verify" our information with OnlineCityTickets to no avail. Now our kids cannot go to the Nutcracker. Thank you for ruining our Christmas. It's not like we're trying to buy a car...

My Name Not On Tickets
December 21, 2017

I don't like the fact that my name is not on tickets - and now I worry about entering the event with another persons name. Don't like this about online city tickets and will probably use another agency going forward. Service fees were way too high. I don't like my first time experience with this vendor.

Watch out -- they'll tell you the price, but they won't mention the service fees ($30/ticket) until after you've given them your credit card.

Easy to apply
December 22, 2017

So far so good. Fast and secure. Hopefully things will go smooth once l get to the venue. First time trying OnlineCityTickets.com and the only thing that bothers me is the service charge. It's almost like buying another set of tickets.

Unfair pricing.
December 21, 2017

Bought tickets for an event in Montreal, Canada from Montreal.
To me as Canadian the price seemed to be ok, but then about 30% was charged as service fees and on top of that the price appears to be in US dollars which made the price 2 times higher than expected.
That is unfair.
Do not recommend it.
Now I know where I should not buy the tickets.

Was very happy to finally get tickets after trying Ticketmaster several times and wouldn't work for me. Called the bank and they said it was to do with Ticketmaster as it wasn't anything to do with my card..

Although the main screen says this is a marketplace exchange service, I really didn't examine what that meant because the link seemed to come from the Theatre Website? I became concerned when my name was not on the tickets. This made me very unsettled. I did not cancel the order after seeing the warranty on the Event Tickets Center web page. However, I am still a little concerned.

The cost of purchase was a little much in my opinion. However, I was able to get closer seats than was available on the Theatre page. So I resigned myself to the extra expense but feel as though there are independent persons buying blocks of good tickets to sell at an inflated rate. This does not make me feel positive about the experience. Seems like legalized scalping? Just my opinion. I gave a rating of 3 because I should have read a little more before I pushed the purchase button.
