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.

Ripped off
November 1, 2016

While the price in each of my downloaded tickets was $41.00 I was charged $71.00 on the site and that does not include the $20.00 per ticket handling fee. I will never buy from this site again.

Scalpers!
November 1, 2016

Don't be taken in by this company like we were. We ended up paying in USD for a concert in Calgary plus huge service fees. The tickets were available on Ticketmaster.ca.

Easy to use site
November 3, 2016

Service charge seemed high, as did the price of the ticket compared to the face value printed on the ticket.

Outrageous fees!
November 3, 2016

Outrageous fees! For a $92.50 face value ticket the final ticket price including delivery was $211.17! OnlineCityTickets charged $63.50 per ticket for a total of $159.00 per unit! I realized I was paying that for the tickets as that was the price shown on the selection chart, but I had no idea how much OnlineCityTickets was making on the deal. I realized it when the tickets were delivered and showed the face value of $92.50. Then another service charge of $95.40 was added. Delivery was $14.95.

Immediate response!
November 3, 2016

I emailed the onlinecirty ticket people about not having received my e-tickets aftear a couple of days and they got right on it and sent me the original link again. I may have mistakenly deleted the original one but they were great and helped me out! I feel really confident about doing further business with these people. Thanks again!

I was greatly disappointed in the high cost of the "processing fee" for an instant download versus mailing or picking up my tickets.

I found tickets that were only 5 rows from the stage to one of my favorite groups. I'm thrilled!
