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.

Quick and easy
November 23, 2017

Service fee for e-mail a bit much cheaper to just go to ticket master. May or may not use this web site again.

Fast!

It was quick delivery, they came in two days and I chose the standard delivery! This was definitely worth a five star rating!

Quick buy
November 23, 2017

Worried that I bought tickets the day before they went on for sale but we will see! I saw a lot about no seats or wrong dates but i didn't have an issue with that.

I have been excited to see Morrissey for a long time now. And now that I got a chance to see them it's surreal. Using this site to buy my tickets was nice and easy and hassle-free. I can't wait till the concert tonight.

Meh!
November 22, 2017

After selecting tickets at a particular price-point and entering payment information, only THEN do they spring an additional $25 per ticket transaction fee on you. This is a variation of bait-and-switch, which I resent. Also, almost every other online ticket site allows you to see and pick the individual seats you wish on a detailed seat map, rather than just by section, with no indication of where Row C versus Row CC is. Confusing, and unnecessary in this day and age.

The final price of the ticket purchased was much more than I was expecting. They also included a delivery charge for ticket, but it was an email/download for ticket.

The worst
November 22, 2017

They have the absolute worst customer service I have ever delt with. I have been going to concerts since the 80s and my last purchase with them was awful. The tickets got lost out in cyberspace and I never received them. They then told me I cant get a refund even though I never got my tickets. 3 hours later getting with Ticketmaster I arranged to drive to the venue to physically pick up tickets. Dont buy from these guys because if you have an issue they dont care.

I'm really glad I didn't have to go through the hassle of creating a new account just to buy concert tickets like on every other ticket purchasing website.

Pretty smooth operation here. Downloaded and printed well and fast.
Love it! Prices for concerts are far to high these day's, but it's the artist that demands the price.

COMPLETE SCAM
November 21, 2017

I live in Canada and this company must buy tickets anywhere and resell them in USD. This is written in small print and the prices are all in USD. After looking at my credit card bill, the tickets cost double what I had ordered. I wanted to get a refund and was told there was no chance and pushed aside. No refund at all? I will never come back, write more terrible reviews, and tell everyone to watch out for this scam.

Handling charges seem quite high for e-tickets, thus the 4 stars. But the whole process was quick and easy. I guess you have to pay for the convenience.
