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.

Not Bad!
June 14, 2018

Quick and easy access to the tickets I wanted, though a bit priced up. Good service and follow up though and easy print tickets. Thanks!

I could not input my AMEX, so had to use a VISA, not my first choice. That seems odd since AMEX icon was listed, and it is a very expensive service fee that is charged to buy tickets on the site. And now I have to write 100 characters to complain?

Never Again
June 12, 2018

We are really lucky that this is part of our road trip and not a regular visit, as I will never be using your services again. I have never had to work so hard to have someone take my money. The whole process was an unnecessary ordeal, and Im still not convinced that my tickets are likely to arrive. After wasting over an hour of my life, I hope I can forget about your inconveniences, inconsistencies, and overall lack of organization.

SCAM
June 12, 2018

I ordered 2 tickets for Temptations in a balcony i selected on line for $47 each. It ended up costing me $129.63 and when they sent me my tickets they had face value of $25 and were the farthest balcony in the place- not the one they showed when I purchased the tickets. SCAM SCAM SCAM. Will never purchase through them again.

Neil Young tickets
June 12, 2018

The charges were ridiculous, we were not told the total and not given a confirmation number.
Now we cannot access our tickets or print, no refunds.
Terrible customer service

The tickets were easy to find and purchase and print. I thought it worked very well. You get fees with whatever you purchase even though it is all online, that is just the business, so I am happy with what we got.

As I watched Ghost tickets disappear before my eyes, your website hooked me up in my last moments of despair. Now I my husband and I will be rocking it out on a Friday night in December!

This is a waste of my time I dont want to write a stupid review I just want my tickets. Also I should be able to return them if I want too and I feel like its not necessary for yall to make 25 percent off the tickets as well

Fees are exceptionally high. Probably use another ticket provider next time. There are other options with lesser fees.

I wasn't offered a child's price for one of my tickets and the fee's were a little much. I was willing to pay the total of the tickets but then the fees were so much.

Overall easy to use. Yes, it costs much more and the fees are higher. Looking forward to the concert. A simple way to avoid these fees and prices are to be on the ball and purchase tickets with the venue as soon as they are released. Otherwise do not complain.

That was cool. I have never done this and all these messages boxes are annoying. So I'm just typing. Like I just typed some shiz and clicked some shiz. Like how do I even review that.

I didn't expect to pay that much extra for ordering through you. I will reconsider next time I order tickets. I think I could have gotten them cheaper elsewhere.

I don't feel the service fee should be so high, especially when it says ticket price 97.50 and i paid almost 400.00 just stupid.

Ticket purchase
June 11, 2018

Quick & easy but, all the fees, ridiculous! No need for all the fees. Eliminate them & all is good! The process was quick, my download arrived quickly. But, again, fees! Paid $70 for 2 $24 tickets! Crazy!

Could be better

High service charges per ticket. Instant download fee is crazy. Should be able to chose electronic tickets to have on mobile device instead of having to print tickets.

Not So great
June 10, 2018

Well all was good however having the fees and taxes be RIDICULOUSLY high did put me off honestly, I ended up paying way more than I would have on other sites. Not to mention being forced to select a delivery option and being charged a $15 delivery fee for my vip ticket which WAS SENT TO ME ONLINE AS AN ATTACHMENT ON MY EMAIL... This defeated the whole purpose of a delivered ticket!
