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
March 3, 2017

This site was very easy to use to buy tickets for an event I wanted to attend.
Love that it was very straightforward and I got the tickets the same day!

Overpaid
March 2, 2017

Figured I overpaid for ticket $165.00 as I could have purchased on ticketmaster much cheaper! We not purchase tickets from this site again.

SCAM
March 2, 2017

This company is a scam! I have made it my mission to let as many people know. We tried to speak with a supervisor - his name was Khiry; he was robotic, condescending and extremely unhelpful! We will NEVER use this company again.

$176.59 for $44 tickets! I will not be using their service anymore. I guess this is commonplace for operations like this! The venue gets $22/ticketholder. They must pay the "stars", the taxes on the property, the electric, etc, etc. This place sells you a ticket and gets 4X the amount! Should be ILLEGAL!

Very happy with my purchase of my ticket for Garth Brooks, as promised they e-mailed me them to me in plenty of time. Could not be happier with the purchase.

When shopping for tickets, I picked my from the list of events and proceeded right to payment. Not stopping to read everything on the first page where the list of events is located. I feel like the over value notice should be more of a pop up in your face thing and not shoved to the side and made to look like an advertisement. It is on me for buying from you. I over paid buy $15 buck an ticket your fees are $7 more per ticket and its in US funds so I over paid for your tickets buy close to $187. Sorry but if you want to keep selling to Canadians make some changes cause in regards to what funds you charge in. I will not be back and would not recommend your site. Same tickets at Ticket master would have cost me $157.00 Canadian! Not $341.00 US. Lesson learned.

I don't like that there is a different name on my ticket. So I really hope, ticket is legit. I saw the explanation, but still don't understand why someone else already had my ticket.

Good experience
January 18, 2021

I was a little weary to order at first because there were no seat numbers on the order page, made a quick call to customer service and they told me the seats were guaranteed to be next to each other. After that it was very easy!

New at this
March 1, 2017

Ordering was straightforward, but the mark-up was horrendous. $46 face value ended up costing $96. The concert in question is too important to miss, but the surcharges are harsh. Customer service hold time was really bad (30 minutes), but rep was super nice and helpful. As usual, management gets away with extraordinary profit, but the troops keep it together for customers. I would use the service again, due to lack of alternatives.

EXCELLENT SERVICE
March 1, 2017

I had never used this service before, but found VIP tickets in the area that I wanted for a decent price. When I ordered my tickets, I called to confirm the location and price. Everything checked out and I got my tickets within 48 hours of ordering. Money well spent and I can't wait to see my wife's face when she opens her birthday card! Excellent service that performed exactly as advertised!

Easy to find tickets and we received the email with the download the next day. Not bad.

Review required 100 characters so I am going to let you know about my day. Its thunderstorms today 3/1 but its super humid. I also made the mistake of forgetting my depends today, now I have to use the potty like a big boy, ugh!

A little nervous about the delivery date of 29 June with the show 1 July. Can't do any better? I'm sure the money has been received so... just saying - you asked. Thank you
