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.

Expensive
April 24, 2018

Pretty expensive option. $90 tickets sold at $130, fine. But then another $100 in "fees" and $40 for shipping adds up real fast.

I'd use them again, but only if there were no other options.

They did NOT notify me until after the purchase that UPS might require an adult signature to deliver. Turned out not to be a problem, but it could have been a real issue.

DO NOT USE OnLineCity Tickets. I NEVER RECEIVED MY TICKETS! I purchased Tickets for myself and my 2 kids 1 week before the event. UPS could not deliver the tickets after 1 attempt and canceled 2nd attempt. Then, On Line City Tickets could not get my tickets reissued or moved to Will Call. I had to call them every day to get updates and their agents were rude, they told me that there was some "guarantee" that I would get the Tickets that did not happen and finally they will not refund my money. Money Lost, Event missed and my kids are broken hearted! I wish I could give a ZERO Star rating.

Buyer Beware
April 23, 2018

Expect the worst and you will be satisfied. Do not buy a group of tickets and expect them to be seated together. They assured me they would be, but were not. We ended up having to buy the tickets we wanted as originally requested from the box office. The box office informed us not to buy from this company. Still we are left with our original tickets from Online City Tickets... we have 28 tickets now instead of 14... so, OnlineCity Tickets offered us an $84 credit for the problem. No thanks.

Terrible experience
April 23, 2018

We bought tickets for the Bon Jovi concert when the dates were released and paid box office prices for the worst seat in the arena. We were promised one section and got another and were placed in the last row with just the wall behind us. Called the customer service rep but they didn't help either. Some of the folks who were in adjacent seats paid 1/5 the price we paid. The ticket office guys at the arena were shocked to see the price we paid for the seats :(. .

This site is a total scam and would not recommend to anyone. I hate writing negative reviews but wanted to ensure none of you fall to the trap...

Its OK
April 23, 2018

Good enough when I don't have time to shop around but you are a bit high on the service charge. Not sure why I have to type 100 words to get this in.

Shipiping Method
April 23, 2018

Shipping method only gave UPS for overnight for $25. My confirmation said I would possibly get an email. And if I'm ordering on 4/22, why does it take until 5/28 to send to me for a concert on June 2. I hope to get the tickets in time.

Great way to see what your paying for in seating. Just wish they would work on there pricing cause for the average income it's hard to afford.

Online Purchase
April 22, 2018

You charged way to much for children tickets than way stated on TV. Then there was an extra service charge of almost $10 per ticket and an email charge.
This discourages family outings due to over charging.

Buying the tickets was easy but upon going to the theatre we discovered that the seats and tickets were a fraud. Fortunately they had other tickets available for the show. Now I have to goand dispute the charges on my credit card, at PayPal and with the vendor.

The fee is outrageous
April 23, 2018

High fee and poor site. I thought for the fees there should have been a well developed site with venue specific seating verification. There was none that I was aware of. Not a very user friendly intuitive site.

Many times I have bought tickets online. By far OnlineCityTicketys has been the most expensive. You charge me $38 for two tickets that cost $50 each. This will be the last time I buy tickets from you! You charge way too much!
