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.

I bought 2 concert tickets yesterday and I find out they charged me way more than actual ticket price! They charged me $87+fees+... but the thicket shows it value only $59.50! I called them and asked for refund but they said the sale was finalized and there is no refund! The worst experience ever. Dont buy anything from onlinecitytickets.com.

High surcharge for tickets. Concert date changed and they refused to offer a refund even though the ticket vendor (ticketmaster.com) was willing to offer a refund. Like Carmen A... scammed on ticket sales and a lack of good customer service. Sorry for the employees who have to work at a company where they lack ethics and money is their motive without customer satisfaction.

Getting tickets
May 2, 2018

I, too, am not pleased about the $40 added after the fact of purchase. Otherwise the process of acquiring the tickets was easy and I appreciated the data of seating areas available, where located.

Hidden additional fees that should be included in the original so you dont get slapped in the face after thinking you can afford it when its actually more. X2 tickets at $52 is $142?

Don't ever buy tickets from this 3rd party vendor; they inflated the ticket price 100% and then charged an outrageous service fee of $188.00 for 2 tickets. The venue told us we had been scammed by this 3rd party. They do not refund anything and only offered to give us store credit of 50% of their service fee. The customer service manager kept telling us their website has a note indicating a price hike. They have hidden fees...

Ordering the tickets could not have gone smoother. This confirmation process is a great pain in the $#*!. Originally I gave this a 4 rating, but now I have to create a account with a pass word and log in and write this review. The review feel like 5th grade and now I am writing a essay on a concert. Way to sap the fun right out of all of tads. This is how you get a 1 rating.

Not happy with the hidden $40 fee added to my bill, just as I see other customers are also saying. Plus I sent a previous email to you - that I did not receive any acknowledgement of receipt for my other concern, which was that immediately after placing my order; I received an email from you indicating that I could place a $20 off purchase price coupon AFTER I had already made my purchase - again, no mention was made of this PRIOR to placing my order. This coupled with exchange rate of 27% added to my purchase because I live in Canada, on my Mastercard bill (which I was already prepared to accept) made this a very expensive order. You should seriously consider placing as much effort into providing great customer service and provide transperancy of your payment process, as you do with all the other things that you do. Going forward, I will take my chances directly at the box office to purchase tickets at Shea's, and I will tell others to do the same, as this was NOT a good Customer experience for me. Thank you for the opportunity to pass this along to you, it is my hope that you seriously consider this review

I've made 3 phone calls today (5-1) trying to figure out where my tickets are. They said they should arrive by the end of the day tomorrow. Why am I receiving tickets THE DAY of the event. If I don't receive the tickets within an hour of the event, I will be upgraded apparently. I'm not happy to say the least.

$40 in hidden fees.
Unacceptable.
Even Ticketmaster has better service. No option to cancel. No option to contact a real person

Well I have received our Pink tickets. Process appeared open and honest with all fees and charges up front and a disclaimer about face value of tickets and what you actually pay being different Let's hope they work and we haven't been scammed.
