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.

Don't Overpay!
June 4, 2017

When searching for tickets to a Roger Waters show, we came first upon a site that seemed to be the venue online presence (complete with venue name in the URL). Only after wading through the site to purchase tickets did we realize it was not the local venue web site. The ticket price did not include the $20 per ticket handling fee and the required UPS delivery of the tickets.

We tried to cancel ticket purchases immediately via chat line and then via phone. They were adamant that no refunds would be given. Their reasoning: they are only a handler of ticket sales between "professional ticket outlets" and the buyers. They say they cannot reverse the order process to cancel an order. They recommended reselling the tickets - but through another ticket reseller as they only handle "professional ticket outlets" and not individuals. Upon looking at the local venue site, it appears that Online City Tickets charged about 25%-30% above the listed ticket price from the local venue retail site. We will see if the correct tickets arrive for the show (via UPS) on time. (We have also seen reports that tickets don't arrive until the day of the show.)

We contacted our credit card to stop payment; but have seen reports of lawsuits by the company against ticket purchasers for attempting to stop payments - lawsuits the ticket purchasers LOST at a hefty fine as well as legal fees.

So now, we are stuck with tickets plus "hidden fees" totaling about $200 for a show whose tickets could be purchased from the real local venue web site for less than $140.

When purchasing a ticket through your local venue's "web site", it could be in your interest to look for the name "Online City Tickets" appearing in a link on the page or at the bottom of the page - just so you know with whom you are really making your purchase.

Excellent confirmation service, we hope that the tickets will be sent to us in a timely manner. We would like to know about the parking service. Please can you advise us on this?
We only have the sector and the row would like to know the number of seats

I give it a B-... I give my wife the same review in bed. Easy, simple, kinda trashy... Just like my wife. But, I married her so why not commit to a ticket review? Well, I'll tell you why. Probably because I'm high... On mt dew

People would like to make in an informed decision... if you have nothing to hide then why hide it? I am sick of scammers. Just tell the potential buyers and if they really want the tickets they will still buy them.

Couldn't see where in the row the seats are located (aisle, middle of row...). Site is easy to use but the service fees are crazy high! Almost $60 PER ticket. C'mon son!

The website has a good setup as Well. Thank you for making it an east process. The only thing I'm not sure about is how you receive your tickets when buying online. The pull down for shipping methods only had email as an option, so how do I get the actual tickets in hand?
