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 could have gotten 2 VIP passes included with the price I paid. On every other website seats are the same price and VIP is included

Overall a great experience. This cite was so easy to navigate and we got what we wanted. The tickets are great seats and we are really looking forward to the show, Also having the ticket insurance is a great idea when the concert is so far in advance,

Should be included in advertised price. My service fees were 46.66, which is ridiculous. My ticket was $152, excluding the fees

Crazy Expensive Fee
April 27, 2018

I did not realize this was a 3rd party ticket source, then realized why my $30 ticket ended up costing $72. I will never use them again. Plus, orders weeks ago and still have not received the ticket.

Waiting
April 29, 2018

Purchasing the tickets was very easy. I purchase box suite tickets for very cheap compare to the actual venues price. The additional fees were kind of high.
The concert is in one day. Still waiting for my tickets

Complete Scam
April 26, 2018

Even though Online City Tickets markets itself as a ticket reseller, its not clear on their website until the transaction is over and you reach out customer service requesting a confirmation regarding your tickets, that you are not actually buying tickets at all. You are just handing your money over to this company for a promise to deliver any type of tickets at a later date; and this is a TOTAL SCAM!
Also Online City Tickets is using false information to persuade people to buy tickets; How? First, by using similar domains that trick customer to believe they are actually buying tickets from the venue. In my situation I had access through your company by clicking www.paviliondallas.com and not from onlinecitytickets.com. (this bring to the confusion of customer who think that are buying tickets directly from the venue and not from a third parties website). Is not after you click tickets that it redirected me to your companys website (once again, using misleading information to trick consumers). The screen showed me a seat chart from the venue, which I used to select my tickets. By allowing me to go forward with this action, it is your responsibility as a seller to deliver the selected tickets, most important; why do you hold a money from tickets that are not even available? I believe a transaction should be processed only at the time of confirming a delivery of the tickets selected.
Your tricky policies may believe you can go forward with your illegal practices, including that if I dont get the selected tickets I will get better seats? How as a company can you possible know what is best for me? It may be good for you and for your illegal practices, but not for customers like me, that acted in goodwill to purchase tickets for a concert. Most important, how can you claim that your inventory establishes a 100% Buyer Guarantee when you cant even deliver the tickets that I chose?
All of this should be illegal! You can't even get a person on the phone when you call. Terrible experience, will never get dooped by this again.
