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.

I would rather to print out the ticket myself by free instead of shipping to my home by paying more than $30! The ticket price is $35 on the ticket, but charged me $59 per ticket! Not happy with that!

November 28, 2017

Easy way to pick-up tickets but the service charge and fees make for an over the top pricing! I will try finding a cheaper route for my next purchase.

Easy but pricey
November 28, 2017

Easy to use and quick that's the good news. Bad news is you have no choice but to pay outrageous service charges and everything is in US dollars for an event in Canada! Disappointing

Service charge!
November 28, 2017

Easy to use site but wait until you see the final price after service charges! Extra fees of about 25% of ticket price are a killer!

Yes the site was easy to use -- and I understand they are reselling tickets at a higher price -- but their service charge is outrageous -- $25 plus dollars FOR EACH TICKET--- Will never never use again!

So far, so good.
November 29, 2017

I found it easy to find the tickets I wanted by hovering over the sections in the arena. The tickets were electronically delivered within minutes. The prices quoted were lower than those on other sites, but then I was surprised at the fees applied when I was checking out. However, the other ticket sites do this also. Overall a good experience.

We went to see a play in Cleveland with the tickets. While I knew there was a markup, i had no clue it could be MULTIPLES of markup. When i saw the ticket price vs whay I paid it was a colossal disappointment. Good job by you.

Lesson learned by me. Still, I feel cheated and won't return.

Easy to navigate. Service charge is too expensive. They charged nearly $60 extra per ticket! Outrageous.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra
November 28, 2017

Yes, I received my tickets my email. The only thing I didn't like was the cost of emailing my tickets, I can understand a few dollars but this way almost half of our tickets. This was very easy to use and printing. We will be using this again

Expensive fees!
November 27, 2017

It's absolutely ridiculous that they charge you $6.95 just to email ticket to you and almost half the price of the tickets in other fees!
