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.

Ordered tickets in Novemer to Russian Ballet Nutcracker for 12/30 as a Christmas present for my daughter. Was emailed that they were to arrive on are before 12/23.12/24, no tickets, called and asked about the tickets, said they would be emailed shortly. Got email that they would not be emailed until 12/29. Called customer service, no luck, had to speak to a supervisor named Hector G. Very unhelpful. This company should not be allowed to do business. You try to order directly from the box office and their website pulls up. DO NOT USE!

Living out in Diamond Bar, it's not practical for me to go to the box office. My granddaughter is crazy about theater and so I wanted to get tickets for The King and I as a special treat for us together. Thank you for making it a pleasure -- she's SO excited.

Expensive!
December 24, 2016

When you spend three times the price that's printed on the ticket, I feel scalped. This may be the norm, but i was a little stunned. The tickets printed out a problem, still haven't used them. Hope the seats are there.

Arrived fast, download was super easy. However, the actual cost of the service fees seemed WAY too high. Hard to say I'll be using this as a first (or second... or third) option when service fees add nearly $100 extra!

MISLEADING PRICES!
December 24, 2016

MY RATING IS A "0"
I search for the nutcracker play in San Diego and come across a website which has on its click link from google "100%money back guarantee" so I go to the website where is has 2 tickets for $61. Awesome! I'm getting these. I scan the website and nowhere on it first page of the purchasing process does it state that this price is PER TICKET! It doesn't even allow you to change the number of ticket validating even further that this price is for the 2 tickets combined. Next page I enter my info and credit card info and my phone starts acting up and before I even know what's happening I must have accidentally clicked on the confirmation and now I'm the page stated "thank you for your purchase of $166.00" i called them immediately, after all they are a company with a "100% money back guarantee" inproceed to call where a customer service agent tells me he can do nothing for me and the tickets are officially mine not even 1 minute after purchasing. After disagreeing with him for 5 minutes telling him my story and stating that the website is misleading he then tells me that he has no one "above" him which I could speak to as he is the manager. So I hang up and call back immediately and this person answers states he is the supervisor. Hmmm, I'd like to work here, everyone with telephone skills gets bumped up to managerial positions quite quickly obviously. How is this place staffing only managers and supervisor to answer telephones? This second gentleman then tells me as well that he must reiterate what his coworker told me because there are no refunds whatsoever and there is also no one "above" them when ch I could voice my concern to. He then suggested to resale my tickets to someone else if I'm not happy with my purchase. Well I refuse to deal with this company and give them my money which I feel was taken in a misleading advertisement so I called my bank and notified them of my concern and fortunately my bank offers help with this for a 20$ fee. I was able to stop payment to this company. I see many other complaint on this website about the same issue. If this happens to you call your bank because the payment is finalized, usually 48hrs.

If you're willing to pay outrageous service fees, you'll get your tickets.

Thank you
December 25, 2016

I was worried that I would not receive my tickets in time for the show. But they were e-mailed to me about half an hour after processing my request. Thank you for the swift response.
