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.

First timer.
June 3, 2018

A first timer and a bit hesitant! Unexpected total at conclusion of order. If I get tickets and get to see Jackson Browne I am all good. A bit unsure of the process

Service fees are a little much. Had I know I was paying more for buying my ticket here - I would have stopped around but the price of the tickets was going up as I was looking so I decided to hurry and buy before I couldn't. Lesson learned.

The website was very simple and easy to navigate and understand. I do wish the whole "pay for parking" would have been explained before I purchased my ticket.

Thought the service fees were out of control at 15% +, but the web site is well executed. Should have shopped around some more I suppose...

Got two tickets from this site $34 dollars each. Service fee was excessive. Total was $108. Rearranged my work schedule to go to the concert. The concert got postponed 3 days later and made the concert unavailable for me. Said they can't give refunds because they aren't the actual holder of the tickets. They are pretty much just the middle men. If you use this site don't expect a refund when there is a mess-up with the concert itself.

Easy to use and easy to purchase but the service charges are excessive. $4 dollars more than Live Nation and $7.50 for online delivery. Come on guys this is ridiculous. I know you have to make money but that is over the top. However the show I wanted was sold out and did not have time and effort to search for sellers.

My daughter ordered $47 tickets(2) and ended up paying $130. She asked me if $47 tickets were OK and I said yes. When I awoke this morning, I see a charge for $130.

This was a great service just wish the service charges weren't so high. Two $66 tickets ended up costing almost $250!

Easy but Pricey!
May 31, 2018

Tickets were very easy to purchase, found the information very user friendly and the speed of the tickets being transferred is very quick, also appreciated. Using FLASH SEATS is very effective and feels like a quick and easy way that should not cost much in service fees. Everything electronic, and I see that we have a charge for Flash Seats on top of the service fee, but the service fee was about 30% of the cost of the ticket, that just feels outrageous. Misleading when you see the cost of the ticket and you grab that one you think you can afford, then you find out that there is such a large fee on top of the ticket charge. Would like to have some hint ahead of time what to add onto the ticket cost just so not so surprised when time to check out. (No surprises during the selection process when buying).
