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.

Rip Off Specialists
March 19, 2017

I attempted to purchase tickets for an 11:30 AM performance of the Ringling Brothers Circus. A computer glitch resulted in my receipt of tickets for a 7:30 PM performance. I immediately contacted Online City Tickets to rectify the situation. I was told that I could not exchange the tickets for an 11:30 AM performance. I indicated that I could not attend the 7:30 PM performance and it would be very expensive to incur the costs of the tickets. I was advised to try to sell them elsewhere. Handling costs for ticket purchases are, in my opinion, excessive and considerably more than other ticket vendors. I will never deal with them again

I received my tickets fast, printed them and got confirmation right away. It was as easy as 1, 2, 3. I'm a first time user on this site and it was self explanatory and easy to use.

Fast but not cheap
March 21, 2017

Easy to navigate, choices seemed limited. Shipping also limited. Unclear as to why I would need to wait so long for tickets to ship.

Easy access to ordering concert tickets. I was worried at first about ordering them online but it worked out great.

Was very easy to order, fast and efficient. Only wish would be to have tickets sooner. Concert is July 25th but won't receive email tickets until July 23rd?

We just purchased tickets to an event, the online charge was steep. We received the electronic download of the event tickets soon after purchasing.
We have yet to know if the tickets will actually get us into the event because the event is still two months away. Looks promising at this time.
The price of the tickets was reasonable, but the online charge was very high.
We are hoping for the best.

Was not aware this was a 3rd party site as initially presented itself as the regular PPL Center website and was not made to appear as the 3rd party until after purchase was made. Tickets sold to me for $30 when in fact they are $23 tickets purchased by another individual who is now named on the tickets. I have been assured by the PPL Center this will not pose an issue for me this time but in the future it may as they do ask for ID at entrance.

Duped but Never again
March 18, 2017

Beware of this "reseller" I thought I was buying from the venue but then everything changed once I hit submit and found myself with this company that on top of 3X price of the tickets charged:

Service Charge:
$242.80
UPS Basic Delivery:
$14.95
And even thought I called immediately no refund no how policy no forgiveness just told me to try to sell the tickets on social media AND I can't even get the tickets for another month.
Stay AWAY!
