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.

Easy to use and reliable!
November 28, 2017

We bought tickets on short notice to go to a concert. The tickets, unfortunately, did not arrive in time. When we called OnlineCityTickets they assured us they would stand behind their guarantee and they did. We got upgraded tickets sent to us electronically and the concert was great! Great service.

Receiving tickets was efficient, yes. I hadn't expected an almost $40 service charge per ticket, though. Used my own paper and ink to print, too. Why so high a service charge?

Quick response
September 12, 2024

Put in my order for tickets, and had a response I less than a minute. So far, so good! I'm anxious to see tickets in hand for two great shows in one!

Cool
November 27, 2017

It was a high price but its a Christmas gift. I think its bull crap that we have to enter a hundred characters before we can leave a message.

Will use again in the future for other events. This will be my first trip to Nashville. Looking forward to the concert and enjoying an evening of music and fun with my kid.

The selection of tickets was somewhat challenging on my android, with trying to choose sections, and zone seating is a bit different. The service fees are pretty high per ticket, though.

OK
November 27, 2017

The experience was OK but the ticket charge is over the top... almost 1/2 the price of the ticket.

Fairly easy to use
November 27, 2017

Once application was completed it only took maybe 5 minutes for the tickets to be emailed to me and I really appreciated that.

Maria Carey tickets
November 27, 2017

Process was easy, surprised at the high service charge, almost 50 bucks per ticket! Tired to send but needed at 100 character, not consumer friendly

Worst service
November 26, 2017

Online city tickets is the worst service for getting tickets. I never received any notice regarding the status of my tickets. I finally got my tickets several hours before the concert and then had to find a place to print my tickets. If I did not go to the Chat, I would not have been notified about my tickets. It was up to me several times to check on my tickets. The order was placed in September for a November concert. I will never use this service again.

I may not get the tickets until 2 days before the concert. I am not really happy about that. I am no way to review this site until I get and use the tickets. I have no idea why they are asking me to review them now. Seems ridiculous to me.
