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.

Good site, easy to navigate. I like how they allow you to purchase insurance in case you can't attend the event

The service charge is obscene and levied for every ticket not order. I will never buy here again if I can avoid it. Highway robbery.

Fees are too high
June 7, 2018

When the fees cost almost 40% of the ticket price that's a problem. If this wasn't for someone birthday I would have cancelled the order. Then there is a download fee on top of the service fee. Give me a break.

You should be ashamed of yourself for charging a service charge and an online charge! This is completely immoral!

I had to pay an extra 30$ each to have my tickets emailed to me? I will not purchase through this site again. Charge way to much. It is impossible to pay face value for a concert ticket these days.

Id feel less taken advantage of if I were just told that the ticket costs more than being given a drop down menu with only the one option. Its misleading and an obsurd upcharge.

In my review to Online City Tickets I noted incomplete information provided as a reason for dissatisfaction with the process. Additional fees were not provided until after placing order; the actual location of the seats was not provided in relation to the row (BB) in the Orchestra 4 section; and I did not learn the seat numbers until after receiving the e-tickets, which was too late to cancel the order. I ordered two tickets expecting the seats to be together. Instead I received one seat (118) and the other (120). These seats are not together. Considering the cost, this arrangement is extremely undesirable.

I thought I was buying a ticket for Hamilton from the Kennedy Center Box Office. When the final payment was revealed I had paid over $100 to obtain ticket and have sent to me UPS. I think I was mislead and paid way more than I intended to pay for this ticket. But what good will my review do since it is going to the people who flimflammed me and not the Kennedy Center.

From what was originally priced at $56 for 2 tickets rose to $80 with fees. Nearly $30 for sending me an email with my tickets. Won't be using this website again.

My tickets did not arrive so I had to contact the company directly to have them forward them on to me. Now that I have the e-tickets they don't load onto my phone. It is a bit annoying for sure.

I was frantic as I realized, having driven 1+ hours to the concert venue, to not be able to find the email w/our tickets for a concert last night. Desperate, I called Online City Tickets "contact us" number and explained our problem. The CSR was amazing! To be honest, I was also SHOCKED at by how quickly he was able to find my ticket records. He also to not only re-sent them, but he located the closest place for us to print them! He was also extremely kind and understanding, recognizing that finding an email sent 6 months ago would be hard to find, especially on a phone!

Frankly, I rarely do reviews and don't think I've ever given a full 100% rating, but the customer service was SO above my expectations, that you all will definitely be my go-to source for tickets from now on!

I purchased 2 tickets because ingot an offer for $20 off. But I missed the fine print that said "for orders over $200." This is the problem when discounts are automatically applied vs using a discount code... it is not clear. When you will. See it applied. I would not. Have purchased. And I will be wary of any business I do with this service in the future.

Smooth
October 7, 2023

Easy to purchase. E-mails were a little confusing, because I didn't quite understand how it worked, but customer service was very helpful. Regular E-mail updates about shipping and delivery were comforting. Tickets arrived safe and sound, and fairly quickly. Overall, smooth, hassle free process.
