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.

Confused
May 20, 2018

Buying the tickets was fast and easy, but there are two problems. First, there are unexplained high 'service fees' and I don't know what exactly I am paying for. I have sent this question as a feedback and I am waiting for their response. Second, I could pick the section and row, but not the seats.

Fast and easy.

The process was fast and easy, but the service charge was high, especially considering the fact that the ticket was a download.

Bad strategies to sell, this is more focus on the dollar than the customer, not good help, I had to used no other choice but hoping will be the last time, if you not an a compromise or hurry try other way to buy tickets it's other sources way better than this.

This place is a total rip off. Go the BBB and look them up, a lot of people are complaining. I got bait and switched to their site, thinking I was buying real tickets. Once I realized what had happened, and that I paid 2x as much for tickets I could have just bought from Ticketmaster, (which was as soon as I clicked pay) I called to cancel my order. After 2 days of trying to get a hold of them, someone finally answered and told me there was nothing they could do.

This ticket was digital ( basically does not exist) and I'm certain not sent by a human being, so why do you charge an electronic fee? Stop milking people for what little money they have.

FEES UGH
May 18, 2018

Getting charged a lot of fees for what. I have to use my own paper to [print tickets, I should be charging you. Whats with the fees on a service that you do not need to lift a finger for us to generate our own tickets. The website was already programmed to do this and we get charged. Whatever... anyways besides all the fees, to purchase was fine.

We feel trapped and impotent when we get charged PER TICKET a HIGH processing fee. The fact that it is easy to order on online doesn't justify a $37.50 per/ticket. In addition, to add insult to injury there is a another charge to download and print on your own paper a $7 fee. Wait until we all start complaining and refuse to pay this insane processing fee.

Be careful
May 18, 2018

The fees are too high! $17 per ticket and $6 to receive it by email which was the ONLY option. Other than that, the ordering was quick and easy.

The only thing that would be better would be if these ticket resellers would NOT buy up all of the tickets from ticketmaster, and allow people to purchase them at face value from Ticketmaster...
Other than that, everything went smoothly.

Slight of hand...
May 18, 2018

Ticket site comes up and can easily be identified as the official ticket outlet of the particular event.
Claims to provide you with specific tickets but then "enlightens" you to the fact that it's "within a zone" and by the way, these additional charges are part of the doubling of pricing for face value...

Will not happen again

The tickets were hard to find at a good price and Im happy with the outcome but having the option of a paper ticket would be ideal.

Great service
May 18, 2018

Quick and easy, but a lot of junk fees tacked on. They really should advertise the total price including the fees up front. Not sure why they leave that detail off until the end of the order-processing, seems like they want to hide an important fact.
