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.

Wish I had seen the email I got right as I was purchasing the tickets offering a 10% discount on the order. Can you credit me?

Expensive service charge
September 8, 2018

Service charge ($50 per ticket!) was hidden until I had entered all of my billing, address, contact info. That indicates to me that even Online City knows that the charge is excessive.

Easy but very expensive. Markups are a little ridiculous and seems difficult to justify outside of outright taken advantage of consumers

Misleading
September 8, 2018

Didn't see anywhere that a huge fee would be charged for purchase. Also, the website was misleading by showing palacetheater when placing order.

Ticket service review
September 8, 2018

I thought the service was very good EXCEPT that I've had to take the time to type out an evaluation for buying the tickets. This has made the service below average in my view.

I purchased two tickets for American Idol Live at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville 3 months before the event. This is the first time this happens to me. I choose my seats and paid $200.00 for two tickets. I did not realized I bough my tickets from online city tickets until I received an e-mail telling me that the tickets would be sent to me days before the event. I got concerned and I look the reviews. It seem like everybody was happy with their service. Today I got an email with the tickets from ticket master ( I guess they bought my tickets at ticket master?) Terrible seats with limited view and the price is $100 for both tickets. This company kept $100. What a big scam I could had gone to ticket master myself and buy the tickets there. Don't buy thickets from Online City Tickets! I'm not using my phone so I cannot submit a picture, but I'm sure I'm not the only one mislead by this company.

Buyer Beware
September 7, 2018

I would do less than one star if it was a option. This company applies a service charge of approximately 30% over the ticket price. The service charge does not show up until the pay information is entered. Even then it is located in a inconspicuous area on the page. Additionally it is not included in any email communication. I thought this website was associated with the theatre and thus reputable. Not so... Will never deal with this company again.

This was my first time using this site and it pretty much is self explanatory. I would recommend this to others who are looking for events. It's great when things aren't too difficult. I give this online site a big thumbs up.

Service fees exorbitant!
September 8, 2018

I tried to order online but because seats weren't contiguous, I couldn't do so. When I called customer service, Cesar was very helpful, but I was astonished to hear that the service fee was essentially 35% of the ticket price. Ridiculous.

I was trying to buy tickets to see Les Mis Friday night but accidentally bought them for tonight (Wednesday) like 15 minutes before the show was supposed to start. I was able to call and the nice gentleman on the phone, I don't remember his name, was able to give me a store credit for my mistake. I then called back a second time to purchase tickets for the correct night and Joseph was very helpful and checked multiple times for me that the shipping address was correct and not going to the billing address. Both customer service agents were very kind and helpful.

This Place is a rip off
September 5, 2018

The price on the web site said 164 each and the total price for two tickets came out to 427 so I feel like I just got rip off.

Bad choice
September 5, 2018

Thought this was the website for the theatre. Severely overpriced and even restrictive in their allowing any one to critique them in less than 100 characters.
