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.

Tickets for Wicked
March 26, 2017

Dear OnlineCity Tickets:
I'll be totally honest here like the hundreds of other folks were. I bought tickets from your website as it popped up LOOKING like the actual Ticketmaster website. I thought the tickets were $100+ (I think it said $104 or close to that) and I purchased three. Upon receipt - which was a few minutes from purchase - I realized that, 1) another person's name was on the tickets; 2) I was charged $414 on my confirmation receipt and, 3) the actual tickets were $76.50.
Now, after reading all of the reviews which certainly hasn't stopped your company from continuing to remain in business, I realized that one types in Ticketmaster and your website is crafty enough to pop up and one just heads into it for tickets. I must congratulate you as this is a smooth operation and we dummies aren't smart enough to read the SMALL PRINT? Ha ha - good one!
SO, all I can hope for is that my three tickets are good for the actual performance. I am treating my husband and daughter-in-law and I PRAY I don't get there and find someone else in the seats. How embarrassing will that be!
So - that is my review - not that your company honestly cares as I now realize folks sell their tickets through you to make money. I also got to the actual Ticketmaster website after I realized my mistake going through your company, and could have gotten tickets for the actual price with NO additional costs.
Take care and I hope you make tons of money off of fools like me. It's a great scam!

Your site makes it so easy to pick the seats you want and order in no time. I will be sure to use your site again the next time I need tickets for a show.

Got totally scammed
March 26, 2017

Got charged almost $300 American for two tickets that were worth $150 Canadian.
Thought I was on a legit ticket site and realized after I was mislead to this site.
Also tickets came later than they were suppose to come with just 2 days to realize I was screwed

I was skeptical at first because I wasn't familiar with Online City Tickets, but I spoke with friend that recently purchased tickets and they confirmed it was legit. So, I made my purchase and was satisfied,

The fees were unexpectedly high! $115.00 tickets ended up being $177.33. So $345.00 for 3 turned into $532.00 I about canceled the order. But we really want to see RHCP, so I bit the bullet. Will think twice if there is a next time.

Easy ordering, quick service, but DID NOT LIKE sneaky add on service charge, which only appeared when doing final checkout. What is it for anyway? It is something like a Scam! It applies to both tickets. That is like a 15% price hike! Just one service charge would have been acceptable. Don`t be greedy. It is still only one transaction!

The service charge on each ticket was a surprise. I didn't notice when shopping for the tickets that there would be a charge that equalled nearly 1/3 of the purchase price.

Pro Scammers!
March 24, 2017

Like most of the reviews I am now reading, I too fell victim to this very clever deviants. After failing to obtain tickets to see Tool at the Gorge Amphitheater via Ticketmaster I Web searched and found a site Gorgetickets.com. Thinking this was the actual vendor I stupidly did not read much of the literature on the page. Seeing the site with the venue pictured, complete with description I believed this to be their site. I did know the tickets were above face value and was OK paying the inflated price as I figured that maybe it was a billing site and the tickets were marked up. No big deal, except that their was an absorbent charges applied after hitting the order confirmation button! Original ticket price of $117. Price paid $202. Surcharge of $62 and change plus a charge of $6.50 for email delivery!? Purchased 2 tickets so that was applied for each ticket! And to top it all off received a confirmation email stating the tickets would be emailed on 6/17 (the day before the concert). When I contacted onlinecity tickets, (after I learned that was the name of the company, not gorgetickets.com) to find out why the date of delivery was so far out, the rep stated that "they were a middleman between the seller and buyer and the seller sets the dates there is nothing we can do about that." I asked if they could contact the seller on my behalf and she replied "yes what would you like to ask?" I told her the same question I asked you? And she stated that "the seller sets that there's nothing we could do." I then went back and read everything on their site and confirmed no refunds would be given, unless the show is cancelled. For them stating repeatedly that they and all their brokers are professional, reliable and licensed I find the only thing that is professional about this outfit is how good they are at exploiting people of their hard earned money and leagally covering their backsides from their rip off practices. Spread the word and hopefully you are not reading this after you have added to the coffers of this truly deceitful company! Stay Away! Long history available of these poor business practices at any of the BBB websites.

I've gotten 3 emails but no confirmation on me getting my order one hundred percent for sure or physically seen tickets. Now I have to do some review which I don't know has to do with my order all I want is my tickets.

So basically until I get my tickets there is no way I could review this site. Simply for the fact that if I get ripped off then obviously there will be some issues to be resolved. As for the site accessibility itself I mean at least it's easy to use.
