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.

Simple and easy to use
December 11, 2017

I found the process of navigating your website easy to use. I have purchased tickets on line to various shows and concerts and have found other sites confusing and difficult to understand with too many distractions. Your site was straight forward and made the purchasing process a pleasure..

Dont fill out any information online because if you dont press [SUBMIT] you will still be charged. This happened to me. I found tickets somewhere else for cheaper i fulled our information on online city tickets NEVER PRESSED SUBMIT and next thing i know im charged 150.00. Other thing that sucks my bank couldnt fight it. Definitely dont recommend tickets from here as they are usually priced higher than other places as well. Too bad i cant leave 0 stars. DONT GET TICKETS HERE!

Fine
December 11, 2017

Website experience was fine. Tickets very expensive. I appreciate the download of tickets but the $7.50 fee is excessive.

Spendy

It's a $50 dollar service charge PER TICKET to an event. That seems ridiculous. I guess I'm guaranteed a legitimate ticket and safe checkout? Still seems way too pricey.

Fast service.
September 12, 2024

Fast and easy has a price. It's business. I chose to pay the price. If you think it's too expensive, don't choose it.

Very quick and easy.
December 10, 2017

This was very quick and simple to do. I like being able to print the tickets locally. The processing fee was more that I thought it should be.

I purchased tickets for a special event as a Christmas present for my husband. I chose the section right in front of the stage. When my tickets arrived they were for a section to the left of the stage. When I called I was told that I had purchased "zoned" seating. The small print on the screen to purchase your tickets will say "After you place your order and your order is confirmed, we guarantee that your tickets will be within the listed zone or section listed or one comparable..." Be aware that what they consider comparable may not be what you consider comparable. I paid a lot and they then DOUBLED the price of the tickets and I still didn't get what I wanted and paid for. AND just ignore the line that says "100% Customer Guarantee" because that is not going to happen. Never will they hook me again.

Excessive Fees
December 9, 2017

This company charges excessive fees for an entirely electronic service. Good for the company bad for the consumer.

Easy to navigate
December 10, 2017

Easy to use and the prices seemed a little less than all of the other ticket vendors that you have to buy from that sell out all the tickets that they buy out from the theater in Oklahoma City. I just wish it wasn't this way but this one seems a little bit less expensive than all the other ones. This site is also very very easy to navigate

Not Good
December 8, 2017

Heavy fees of more than 33% of ticket cost added and received email for ticket discount after I placed order and email arrived the same time as my email to print my tickets. Can I get this credit against my charges?

Awful
December 8, 2017

I ordered tickets and had paid for them and had gotten my confirmation email and then shortly after had received an email saying my order was cancelled. I did not cancel theses tickets and now have to wait 7-10 days before refunded money for tickets I never cancelled to begin with
