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.

Terriable
December 13, 2017

Never buy tickets from them, they are way over priced and rip you off, i bought tickets from them and when i received the tickets they have a much lower price on the tickets itself. Definetly a rip off.

Hell of a Service Fee
December 14, 2017

Listen I get it, concerts are expensive but the service fee was 20 dollars PER ticket... with that i could have upgraded to a better seat but that would have been that much more expensive. Other than that the system itself it really nice

Overall, the process was very easy. I was a little concerned to see another name on my tickets though that was effectively explained in FAQs.

No explanation for what the high service fees apply to in addition to the high ticket prices and not great seating...

Why do the tickets say someone else's name other than my own? And why does the ticket price on them say 37.00 when I paid over 400 for all three tickets?

Fees are way too high
December 12, 2017

Total purchase should have been $300. After fees it was $400. $100 of fees not worth it! If these weren't for a Christmas gift, I would not have done it.

Considering everything is being processed online, I'm shocked to pay an addition $40+ for fees. This should be more clearly stated upfront and not just added as an afterthought at checkout to create sticker shock and a bad experience. In the future, I will deal directly with the venue and avoid the extra cost gauging.

Seller charged 40% over the face value of the ticket price. Isn't that scalping?
OnlineCityTickets charged "service charge per order" on EACH ticket (2 tickets purchased on one order). Does that count as scalping?
Face value of 2 tickets was $161 but the entire order cost me $297.22!
I definitely feel ripped off.
