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.

Price scam
September 20, 2018

Tickets were $103. It said there would be a processing fee, but I could not find what the processing fee was. Perhaps it was in fine print, in any case, it wasn't very transparent. Turns out the processing fee was $140! Give me a break. OnlineCity Tickets doesn't seem very upfront on their cost.

OnlineCity Tickets review
September 20, 2018

Absolutely OUTRAGEOUS charges, Ticketmaster prices were between $46 and $64 and they are making $$. My final charge was over $450.00. I will be writing to my Congressman about obscene profit margins and capricious service charges. Absolutely unethical and should be illegal!

Great Service
April 18, 2024

The woman I dealt with was very nice, very fast, and very thorough.
She explained to me how the "Mobile Tickets" worked, and then offered to find me VIP parking!
Great experience

Well the saga continues. After multiple contacts with Online city tickets nothing has changed. We have now received the tickets to the concert. First off the tickets are mobile only. When they produce them they produce them through ticket master. FYI if you are going to sell tickets that you have already paid a premium for. You will be eliminating being able to sell through Ticketmaster.
I say this because, online city tickets uses ticketmaster to produce the tickets to you. Therefor because you did not buy the actual tickets through ticketmaster. You cannot sell them through ticketmaster. Forcing me to go to Stubhub as basically my only option. Just do yourself a. Favor and dont even bother with this company.

Unethical Business Practices
April 30, 2018
Previous review

A friend of mine bought three tickets off this site for the Ed Sheeran show. Now she cant go as she is moving to Florida ao she wants to sell the tickets to someone who will appreciate them. Online City Tickets is being totally vague about any details nor have they sent a confirmation that they exist. She paid $1,300 for three tickets. This is a total rip off and I will report this to the Assistant District Attorney's office for review.

Read everything carefully. If it seems too good to be true, it is!

OK, I'm 76 with bad eyesight and apparently also stupid. MY BAD, I wasn't cheated but once you press the ORDER button, it's too late.

Purchased 3 tickets one of which was BOGUS! Luckily the box office gave me a free ticket for my minor son!
Bought 4 tickets to a Saturday show for me & my family. The concert was canceled, asked for a refund, was told no as the band may re-schedule can take a few months! Found out the concert was rescheduled for a WEDNESDAY 5 months later! My kids are in college, hours from where we live. They refused to refund me. $300 GONE! What happened to "customer satisfaction is out number one goal!" This is listed in their "arbitration & dispute resolution:. What a crock of lies!

Efficient
October 7, 2023

The process of buying was easy.
It would be better to have the extra fees presented before check out.
Overall I am against making money over & above the original ticket price. This is contributing to the downfall of the music industry.

I paid too much for these tickets in March and they were shipped to me in March.

I received the package and then misplaced the tickets.

I used the online chat last week without success. My request was misunderstood. I requested an email with the tickets so I could print the tickets out.

The lack of communication, the difficulty in talking to a live person caused me to miss this Maroon 5 concert. This concert was my gift for my birthday which was yesterday.

Needless to say, my experience with this company was lacking timeliness, caring, helpfulness, and lacked a suitable resolution.

I did request another copy of the tickets, I only got the UPS investigation which was a waste of time.

Oh well, shame on me for using this company. I am lighter by $624.00, but have a great story to tell friends.

Obviously, I cannot and will not recommend this company.

Quick and easy! Can't wait as we'll be celebrating our anniversary. We've probably listened to the Alan Parsons Project for as long as he's been around.

Anthony,

Your unwavering patience and ability to make my numerous questions feel relevant allowed me purchase these tickets with confidence. In addition, your technical expertise with the stadium layout and browser functionality elevated my purchasing confidence and inspired me to write your name down; Anthony with the awesome last name 'Ferrari' for future events purchases. In an era of 'bots' running the transaction-centered show and influencing purchasing behaviors, I'm so glad I connected with a human, Anthony, a Consumer Care Champion.

From one front line Consumer Advocate to another, thank you, Anthony Ferrari.

Truly, Melissa Edwards

PS I hope Anthony's mentors show him my positive feedback. He deserves the credit and I'll be sure to check back in the future by calling ;).

PPS I'm on the left in the attached photo!

Fast and easy to order.
September 20, 2018

Wasn't expecting the price to be so much more and didn't know until I confirmed my payment. Also had no idea that our view may be obstructed until after I purchased them. Other than that they were easy to order. Regardless I'm excited to surprise my daughter by taking her to her first concert.

Not a happy customer
September 18, 2018

I wasn't happy with the extra fees that come up at the end of my check out. They charged me 60.00. I'm not going with site ever again and it's crazy cost.

I bought my tickets from them, had never tried so I gave it a chance. Worst decision ever! Bought my tickets months in advance for a specific section right in front of center stage. I get my tickets and they're not the ones I bought they're completely off to the side right next to where the cutoff to the stage is so visibility is horrible. I try and contact them through email, through their website, no response! Finally I call and they say that they can't do anything and that the "guarantee" doesn't apply to their horrible tickets because my $#*!ty tickets are considered an upgrade. Leave my damn tickets alone! I chose the spots for a reason!
