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
February 18, 2017

Thank you for making this purchase so easy that even an old woman can do it! I was worried about purchasing Circus tickets for my daughters family, but it was not difficult at all and the cost was excellent. Thank you again

Ticket scalping
February 17, 2017

Price before purchase way lower than actual price. Ripoff and this review is a ripoff as you have to enter 100 letters!

Fairly smooth process. I am curious to see how it works once I'm at the venue.

I was in a rush to get these tickets so I did not do a whole lot of comparison shopping. I found this site, was able to see where the seats were and got a per seat price that was reasonable, so I went with it. Unfortunately, when I went to check out, there was close to $40 in additional fees and taxes. As I had already spent my budgeted time for these tickets, I sucked up the additional fees, however, next time I will shop around more. I like the site. It is easy to use but if I had bought 3 tickets instead of 2, the fees would have cost me more than a 4th ticket. These guys got my business once, but a repeat purchase would only happen if their competitors were all charging higher processing fees. $16 per ticket is a little extreme.

Was very easy to use
February 17, 2017

The surcharge per a ticket was pretty high considering I am a single mother and had to buy 4 tickets and pay 14 extra dollars per seat on top of the ticket price. Other than that cant wait for the show

Good

Overall experience was decent. Was a little disappointed to see the markup once I saw the face value of the tickets.

Quick and easy
February 17, 2017

Quick and easthma, felt like $7 instant download fee was excessive and a hidden fee. Other websites sell tickets for comparable prices without these fees.

Reliable and easy! Received my tickets via email within 2 days! Secure site, no issues with credit card fraud. Tickets look authentic... but I guess I can't be sure until the day of the event.

Ripped Off
February 16, 2017

I'm not sure why one of your options was "I cancelled my order". I tried very hard to cancel my order and receive refund after I discovered I was ripped off. Lesson learned about deceptive resell sites and their "fees". Lesson learned and I will tell everyone I know to stay clear of this site!

Stay away
February 16, 2017

We have NO tickets and the concert is in two days. They were super fast to take my money two months ago, but the concert is literally two days away and we don't have our tickets yet. Cool trick, scammers.

Easy but expensive
February 16, 2017

The process was easy to purchase, but in the end, a $40 per ticket service charge seemed outrageous for $130 tickets

Horrific service charges
February 16, 2017

Explain to me why this company needs to charge over 60.00 PER TICKET for a service fee. That's right! 120.00 plus price of your tickets and of course the tax. I was able to print my tickets without difficulty however. This is a concert we really wanted to see badly. So I just closed my eyes hit accept then took a shot of vodka!

It's a roulette wheel!
February 16, 2017

Ordered tickets which I received by the date promised, which is great. The tickets we purchased said seating is between rows A-W. I don't know how they are selected but we received row P. I doubt if there is any front row tickets in the A to L rows. They are not being deceitful because it is between A-W, just beware.
