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.

Couldn't believe it was cheaper and maybe even easier then Ticketmaster. Will use this website again.

Ease
January 4, 2017

Easiest way to buy tickets. I like that you can see the arena setup and know exactly where your seats are. Will buy from here again.

Ordered online tickets Dec. 12 (For Dec. 26 show & paid in full; promised delivery on Dec. 24 - I contacted Online City Tickets to request earlier delivery; they then said, Dec. 25. I contacted them 4 times prior to my flight to Edmonton; tried online chat; spoke to agent Dec. 25 who said I'd have tickets in morning; on day of show, Dec. 26, I still did not have tix (7 hours prior to show) so, cancelled. Deeply disappointed; these were supposed to be Christmas tix. |
In the meantime received DAILY emails about other shows I might like to see.
Even after cancelling - they sent emails suggesting other shows.
My money was refunded to my credit card 4 days after cancelling.

The process to purchase was very simple, but I was disappointed that instant download of e-tickets was not available. 30% service charge added to the ticket price is very steep.

I got completely screwed. Tix were delayed in delivery and then they did a total bait and switch. Gave me seats in back row when I purchased expensive floor level. I am livid and never using them again.

System works well, I've purchased tickets through them twice now and both times have wished for the ability to select the specific seats vice only the row.

We purchased 2 tickets to a local concert via this despicable website service. The only information given to us was a section and row number for the event. Once we receive the tickets, which was some lame credit card style ticket with still no information that our 2 seats were together. Once I asked this company if I could find out if our 2 seats were actually together I was promptly told that they wouldn't guarantee section, row or seat number. Best to stay away from this company. Charging 75$ per seat then saying they will not do anything is beyond absurd.

To Be Determined
January 2, 2017

The purchase of these tickets went very well. I love seeing the seating diagram and being able to select my specific seats visually. However, I have never purchased tickets from this site before and am always wary because of horror stories I hear about various sites selling bogus tickets. We shall see what happens on February 23rd. These are for my husband's birthday so I am hoping for the best!

Ok i guess
January 2, 2017

It was easy enough to order the tickets. I only have 2 issues.
1. Until I received my e-tickets, I had no idea if my seats were together or not. It would be nice to know which seats you have before pushing the order button.
2. I started out on a Canadian site for a Canadian event at a Canadian venue, was redirected through 2 different sites ending up paying in US dollars. That is more an issue with the originating web site than this one.
