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.

Oliver was extremely helpful and patient -- he spoke clearly and professionally and found answers to my questions -- I felt he showed respect and wanted to help me get the tickets I was looking for - excellent service!

They charged me $200/ticket, while if you go to the standard production site, it's $74/ticket. I was fooled from the google search frontal page w/ 4.5 star review. If I clicked to read, you will see other people had similar poor experience. When they email you the ticket, you strip off the standard face value now. WARNING: A HUGE SCAM!

I was shown patience and respect during my telephone contact with customer service. I was assisted with finding the best seats for my husband, who has a physical disability.

Here is what happened
My wife searched for SF symphony and clicked on top google results (turned out to be an ad as I realized and not the symphony site itself) - this was key mistake

1. I bought a ticket for $112 from the site
2. I got very confusing receipts. One receipt for $446 and 3 receipts and tickets for $44
3. After calling and talking to them I realized what happened:
They sold me $44 tickets at $112. They also charged $102 (!) fee on top of 250% markup and a $8 download fee (I guess for providing capability to actually get my ticket)
They charged me for 3 tickets instead of 1 and refused to refund 2.
They sent me 3 original tickets and receipts that listed the price $44 which added to the confusion

Net results $446 (!) for a $44 ticket that is still available to purchase from sf symphony directly for list price + $10 fee for a total of $54

Please do not make the mistake and order from this site! I paid for a particular row 2 months prior to the concert. And they switched my seats 20 rows up:(

Very frustrating experience

One of the tickets we purchased would not download. Called and all they did was resend the bad pdf file. Now I have 4 people going and only 3 tickets. They won't refund even the price of the ticket I didn't get

It was helpful to have the icon that let me know these were aisle seats.

Would like a more interactive seat map to know where every available seat is exactly

Easy to use and quick too. I paid through PayPal for an additional layer of security. I couldn't get tickets through Barbara B Mann.

The event is rescheduled for a future date (1/19/19) but the tickets still
Show the former date 10/12/18. I would like to confirm that this will not be an issue at the venue.

Not impressed
October 17, 2018

Purchased 3 tickets, listed on the site at 33/ticket. Total price increased over 30% on check out and I figured it was the typical handling charges these sites have... then I got the tickets delivered and the face value is 1/2 what I paid. Terribly overpriced, they don't list any other info on the ticket until it has been purchased, then they offer no refund or return.

Rude and hung up on me!
October 17, 2018

I called to get some pricing info on an event. Ticketmaster was charging huge fees and I just wanted to see if this site had a better price. Once the guy realized I wasn't going to be purchasing tickets right away he became very rude and short with me. After asking a few questions and getting useless answers, he hung up on me! I couldn't believe it! Horrendous customer service!

Wrong Tickets
October 17, 2018

Listen if you purchase a low budget ticket you will get what you pay for and therefore this company is more than likely getting a great review. However, if you purchase a ticket for example a suite ticket and you pay a high amount for those tickets, you WILL be scam and get bleachers ticket which is what happened to me. Please, please be very careful when purchasing from this third party company. Take my lovely advise and buy your ticket through ticketmaster.

Super easy. Ordered the tickets online and here they are. Excited about the concert. Not sure why a review is necessary to get my tickets.

Pain in the $#*!
October 16, 2018

Why as a consumer should I have to put up with this long, enduring process? I am computer illiterate and would just like a hard copy ticket. It would be nice to have a
Souvenir.

Using onlinecity tickets was super easy even for someone not computer savvy like myself. Couldn't believe how easy it was.
