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 bit pricey
October 10, 2016

I know in todays society everything is being done electronically but I still like the old way of buying your tickets, looking at them for weeks then handing them in on day of concert. Now it seems I will not even see the tickets till the day before the concert which makes me a bit nervous. The other problem I see with buying tickets is the way too expensive surcharge. I paid almost $37 per ticket surcharge and then a $6.95 delivery charge to e-mail - really? I thought e-mail was free. So the experience of buying 2 tickets for more then face value, having to pay close to $75 in surcharge and the e-mail delivery fee - doesn't make this transaction a really enjoyable one.

Above average experience
October 10, 2016

Very quick and easy. Only problem was I had a ticket in my queue and I was filling in my information for payment. I click submit and it tells me the tickets were sold. Luckily, I found ticket in the same row and section for an extra $3 per ticket. If those other tickets wouldn't have been available, my rating would have been lower and I would have emailed customer service about the issue. However, because I found other tickets, my rating is a 4 because of how easy the ticket process was.

Low ticket price, would have been a super experience if the fees weren't nearly the advertised 'price' of another ticket. Money makes the world go 'round, I don't blame you for being greedy and taking advantage of people who have no other choice but to pay premiums for artists they idolize and want to see. I'll just have to keep in mind going forward to add about 25-28% of the advertised ticket price to the total if I choose to buy from this ticket provider or any others.

I can not state this enough. Do not use this site. I ordered tickets three weeks ago. Oct 6th was the estimated email delivery date. And the show is October 8th. Well it's October 6th at 8 at night and no tickets. I have had several email transactions with the customer service people. And they tell me everthing is ready to go, just waiting on the seller to get the tickets. How can anything be ready to go if you don't have the thing you need to email. Anyway horrible situation. What ever you do avoid these people. I learned the hard way

Super easy process
October 8, 2016

I bought tickets for a concert I was going to the same day, the process was super easy & hassle free. The only annoying thing is the service charges

Excessive Fees

Didn't care for the surprising handling charges or the costs for just sending an email.

Good experience
October 6, 2016

Since I placed two separate orders, I assume this is for the April Frankie Valli show. There were received the same day as the order. I also made reservations for Neverland, but have not received those as yet. But am looking forward to the Frankie Valli show. The website was easy enough to move around in and I would not hesitate to use it again.

Perfect and easy
October 6, 2016

Scored fabulous seats for the Paul McCartney show at Golden1 Center in Sacramento. Easy to use site, tickets arrived in my inbox immediately. All the negative reviews had me panicked, but I couldn't have asked for better. Will use again.

The site was very easy to use and availability of tickets in each section was clear. But I ended up paying 34% in fees on top of the oritinally quoted ticket price. I wish they would just tell you the real price when you are shopping for tickets on their site.

Site doesn't convert for Canadians to factor in the exchange as a single parent I never would have bought the tix if I had known
Also other sites gave a free album download for RHCP tix purchasers but didn't get one with this site;(
