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.

Additional fees
December 8, 2017

Sorry, in order to view my full review, you will have to pay an additional $16 service fee along with a $7 delivery fee. Or, an explanation as to how it costs so much to have a pdf file delivered to me electronically.

Not happy

Not comfortable doing this. After reading all the negative emails, all I can do is hope I get my tickets. This is a treat for my MIL and daughter.

You will pay a premium price for a ticket you think you are buying yet they send you much worse tickets after you complete your order. And no refunds! I would never buy from this company.

Rip Off
December 7, 2017

Lots of hidden costs. No Way to see your seat #. They masquerade as if they are selling tickets for the venue. So it's easy to land there by accident. You'll think you're at a reputable site, but your not.
AVOID these clowns.

Aside from the high service fee assessed to each ticket, the process was very easy and the ticket download was flawless.

I was ready to buy my tickets in November at the tip top of my budget - decent seats. I usually can not afford something like this for myself and my date, so it is a special occasion for us. At checkout, the revealed service charges (approximately 30% added to each ticket) was enough for me to bail on the website and cross my fingers for a better option.

Now I am paying WAY MORE for the worst seats money can buy. I really wish that those service charges were more up front in the advertised cost, instead of hidden away in an asterisk footnote. Had the vendor been more up front and honest out the gate, I would not be left with this bad taste in my mouth. I am a planner, and I only hope that the experience at the show is only half as bad as I imagine it to be

Service fees
December 7, 2017

Much like stubhub, service fees were crazy! I got two tickets and they were 42 bucks in fees for a 136 buck ticket price.

Only took me 5 to 8 minutes to place my order. Wish military and veterans could get a discount on event tickets, since most guest to perform usually say Thank you for your service.

When I paid for the tickets I thought the $80+ service fee was for the total of 6 tickets. I was shocked to find out that was the fee attached to EACH ticket! Rip off!

42 dollar service fee? Really.
Never again.
I won't use this site again ever...
And then I get the tickets they say $60 on them my total coat was $362.
It's your money spent how you want but I would look else where first.

Convenient, but i would like the service fee to be more reasonable. 17.00 service fee on 50.00 tickets is too high.

Please stop charging more for instant download! It should be cheaper than going to the box office or having to print off a ticket!
