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.

A new experience for me
February 22, 2017

My first time buying tickets this way. I didn't realize it was a re-selling format so was a bit surprised when I paid 40% higher than face value for the tickets.

Ripped Off
February 22, 2017

Bought tickets in July for floor seat to 21 pilots. $260 for 2, day before the ticket I get an email and told the venue canceled my tickets. They offered us level 100 half the value. It's a company scam they Hold them to see if the value goes up which they have more than tripled. So they resale the floor seats for $500 each and offer me cheaper tickets. I will be calling the venue and possible file class action against them tomorrow. Seems several people have the same issue and never heard of a venue canceling ticket 24 hours prior. This company never intended on sending the ticket I bought.

Hello everyone,
Just purchaseed my tickets through http://canadiantire.centreottawa.com that works in conjunction with onlinecitytickets.com. It was the worst experience. Very misleading advertisement and website and lots of fine prints to be careful about.

I just purchase 4 tickets for Disney on ice 2017. It says on website 4 tickets left for the price of $25 each. It asked me for my credit card. Then when I got the confirmation email, it says USD! For sure I called them and definitely they refused to give me any refund, exchange or at least better seats!

Much better seats are available on ticketmaster website for only $15 Canadian dollar (the exact same tickets I already bought, but paid way more money)

Ticketmaster is a website to trust and to purchase from. Do NOT try other websites especially the above websites I mentioned earlier.

Best way to buy tickets
February 21, 2017

I placed the order to buy 4 tickets, and, I received my tickets by email within 2 hours... First, I was kind of hesitating to use that site to purchase the tickets, because, in the past, I had a bad experience., but, with this site, everything was easy. Thank you

Worked like a charm.

Speedy delivery. No issues with printing or saving pdf of tickets. I didn't see an option for ticket insurance like on Ticketmaster. I usually get that.

Class Action Lawsuit
February 18, 2017

I was fortunate to know that when they kept changing the guaranteed delivery date which, was terms of their "legal and binding contract" that they breached it. Paypal agreed thus, full refund. Offering tickets in a row that didn't exist =Fraud. Charging for shipping they weren't going to provide (email instead) means that ANY of you here can start a class action lawsuit against them for charging for services not provided.

I bought tickets to the 2/19/2017 showing of THE LITTLE MERMAID in Louisville, KY back in October 2016. I was just notified TODAY, 2/18/2017, that tickets were not secured for the show tomorrow. I have 3 little girls who were so excited to see the show that now don't get to go. Why did OnlineCity tickets take my money back in October if there was a chance that the tickets wouldn't be secured? I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING EVER FROM THIS COMPANY. I wouldn't be making such a stink about this if the company would have simply reached out sooner than the DAY BEFORE THE SHOW.

I found the seats I wanted, but the site said it couldn't process it and to try later. What it didn't tell me was that I did not have an account. (I thought I did.)
Another friend wanted to go to the concert and I saw that there was a seat open next the ones I had already purchased. It took a bit of searching to get that 4th ticket, but it all worked out in the end. Persistence pays off.
