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.

Misleading/ rip off
June 21, 2017

There are so many fake reviews on this site so I'm going to post mine every day, I'm so angry:
I ordered tickets on this website to an event. The ticket costs were 199.00 each. The service charges were $65 for EACH ticket, which is completely ridiculous. Also, for any Canadian customers, these prices are in US dollars, despite the site making it look like they are a Canadian company. So for the $398 that I had expected to pay, based on the ticket prices, I was quite upset to see a $716 charge on my credit card. I will never use this service again and I will make sure that as many people as I can share with, I will.

Tickets Recieved
June 21, 2017

I was a little confused when I got the tickets because my name wasn't on them, there was a different name, but I was told it's not a big deal because they were probably resale tickets. Other than that everything is good.

Bought instant download and the process was quick and easy! I feel the service fee was a bit high but did not want to take chance waiting for tickets to arrive closer to the event date.

Very easy to use
June 21, 2017

The service was easy to use and there were no problems at all ordering tickets. They were emailed to me right away. I didn't like the fact that they charged 7.50 to have an instant download but there was no other option to have them delivered. Other than that, excellent website.

The fees are in my case 25% of the total ticket cost., I believe is a better way to charge a smaller fee and a % of the ticket price to offset other costs, I can't believe the fees are to cover service cost only, otherwise is the same buying one or many tickets, yet the service is for each ticket

Good tickets reliable prices but when you try to call them you can never get a response I try to email them no response and then I found out that they already sent the tickets without sending me a confirmation email or a shipping confirmation email.

The service was very easy to use but the prices were extremely high. I bought the tickets anyway because i didnt have a choice. The BBB has many similar complaints

Fees!
June 20, 2017

I thought the fees were way too high! Also don't like that someone else's name is on the ticket. Wouldn't recommend.

Fast!
June 21, 2017

Great site, got instant download of my tickets! The only thing that was silly was the charges! Just build those into the price and you'll be fine. People still but tickets online just don't tell them you are charging them $10+ in fees!

Seems like the fees could be reduced somewhat. I may not use OnlineCityTickets again. Got my tickets within minutes though which I appreciate.

I can't believe the price you charge for the service charge. But based on all the reviews, nothing is going to change because you know people will buy the tickets anyways.
