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.

Fraudulent
April 3, 2018

Went directly to the venues site and clicked on buy tickets. Immediately I was sent to OnlineCityTickets and after making my purchase read the reviews of this site and found out that Ticketmaster was selling the same seating area for $107.12 less in service fees. Tried to cancel to no avail. Contacting our attorney general's office to file a complaint. May not get me anywhere but if it put's a bug in someone's ear that you cannot manipulate the system via the internet to rip people off than it will be worth my time. By the way, when I printed my tickets they are from Ticketmaster in someone else's name and he only paid $75.00 per ticket not the $135.00 per ticket I paid and his service charge was only $14.05 per tocket unlike my $107.12. BUYER BEWARE!

The title says it all. There were a lot of mark up costs for parking but I'd rather have a parking space than not.

Poor Service
April 3, 2018

My wife purchased tickets a couple of years ago. My mother paid for them with her credit card as a gift and did not recognize the charge on ther credit card statement so she filed a fraud alert. Once we told her it was okay she removed the fraud alert and we paid for the tickets immediately and attended the show. OnlineCityTickets will allow my wife to purchase tickets and then she gets a notification after a purchase that the purchase has been cancelled. Now I had to log in and buy tickets but the tickets we wanted are no longer available and I had to spend $50 more for less quality seats. We made a mistake, we paid the bill immediately, let her simply keep buying from you.

Great ease of ordering tickets and downloading them via e-delivery! At first, I thought the fees were high, but then I looked at previous Buffett tickets, and the fees were the same ordering directly through Ticketmaster. Thanks for the opportunity for expensive, but GREAT seats!

Service Fee
April 3, 2018

First paying over $100 for a ticket is pretty steep, then you tack on a $32 service fee, and then tax. Next time I will go out of my way not to get tickets from this site.

Why would you have to register for a website to confirm? This is just stupid. Fix it.

And 100 mandatory characters is stupid too.

The tickets were very, very expensive! Because I've been a fan of U2 since they started and have never seen them, I just went ahead and bought them. I paid 536.00 for two seats with a disclaimer saying my view might be obstructed!? After paying that kind of money, I better be able to see the guys! Plus the extra fees and service charges are SO COSTLY! I'd like to know what other people paid for tickets through this company. Did this company rip us off?

The filter option to sort by row, section and price was a big help in choosing my ticket. The on screen layout of the concert area was also helpful in visualising where I would be sitting.
