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.

Ticket access
May 1, 2018

I bought tickets to a concert in a destination we plan to travel to on vacation. The site sent a single confirmation that looked like spam with no identification on the mail IP. The tickets never showed up and the confirmation links were deactivated by the time I was able to locate the confirmation in the junk mail folders. Still working to get a person on the phone to help resolve and resend the tickets via email. Very challenging to get any information from their web site with no stored order history on line you're at the mercy of their 800 line

Ticket prices
May 1, 2018

Expensive tickets! I just can't believe that no matter what concert we try to attend, ALL tickets have been bought up by ticket brokers. Aren't face value tickets available any more?

Very easy
May 1, 2018

The process was easy, but the fees are a bit much. I understand the fee for emailing tickets but charging a fee of over $20 for each ticket is ridiculous. I guess it for the convenience but I think it is a bit much.

Very fast and easy. Would have been nice to see where seats were (only showed "sections", but rows of seats availalble did not comport with diagram of floor). BUT, caveat is that they charge $21+ EACH PLUS a $6.95 service fee on top (what the heck is the $21, then?

They are probably taking home more than the bands.

Paid way too much
April 30, 2018

Got on line trying to buy tickets for wicked, christmas gift, musical in may, thought I was getting great seat. When they send out tickets 10 days before event. That another catch also because you don't get the tickets until 10 days before the event. You find out that what your thought you were getting isn't anything close. Learn that hard way. Paid $1,040.51 for 3 ticket $100.50 tickets. Not the location I wanted either. Will not use Online City Tickets again.

Pathetic - Rip off!
April 29, 2018

I have never written a bad review before.

What a hot mess this unethical business is - I'm in terminal hold (10 min) because they are ignoring my call to rectify the fact they they never sent a confirmation of Jeff Dunham tickets that I bought 4 months ago. Never got a confirmation and now they just hung up on me. They charged me over $400 for tickets I NEVER GOT. The first time I saw the tickets was 20 minutes ago just before I called customer service. The show started over an hour ago... They SUCK! There are no words!

This is the worst company I have dealt with ever. As stated in prior reviews you buy tickets thinking you are dealing with a company that actually has physical custody of the tickets. Only after you have paid huge prices and receive an email which should be your tickets and is not do you realize you have been completely ripped off and lied to. The emails basically state you are now being dealt with by some sketchy 3rd party you don't have any contractual agreement with, and they are only committed to buying you the tickets you thought you bought or something comparable whatever that means.
And to add insult to injury you won't even know until the day or two before the event if they even bought you the tickets.
The only way to deal with a bunch of criminals like this is to start a petition (which I am doing) to collect enough signatures (which should not be difficult) to file a class action lawsuit. Also to file a class action consumer fraud complaint with the US District Attorney office in DC.
The more bad reviews etc this company gets will hopefully make people not use this company ever until it gets shut down.

Processing charges
April 29, 2018

Processing charges are too high. Additional Service charges should be included in the advertised price, not added to the top when you go to pay for them.
