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.

The website works well and is user friendly. The problem is high fees and the tickets cost way more then the value printed on the tickets.

To expensive
December 17, 2016

The processing fee is to high and there should be a limit to what they can charge over the price of the ticket.

Long
December 17, 2016

Maybe it's because I'm new to this, but it seemed like a really long process to get setup and go through flashseats and setup all these accounts just to get tickets to an event. Very discouraging for 1st time use. I almost just didn't order them due to the hassle.

Okay so I admit I wasn't paying attention when I saw orchestra tickets for the King and I for $92. I should have known as the row was AA to XX. Then there was the extra $110 service charge. The tickets have a face value of $32 and surprise were in row XX on the left.

All I can say is buyer beware.

Hello
December 16, 2016

Never heard of it before. Decided to try it, it was cheaper than ticket master so I can't really complain. Plus it was fast and what not.

Fees Equivalent of Theft
December 16, 2016

Bought two tickets to a comedy show for $84.50 each - there were $25.20 of "service charges" for each ticket & an additional $7.50 fee for "instant download"
Ridiculous to pay over a quarter of the original ticket cost in fees. Tickets weren't even presale. Very upset.

Rip Off
December 16, 2016

Using targeted ads by google, this site is a middle man that buys tickets and re sells them. Save yourself a lot by buying directly from ticketmaster

Ripoff! Stay Away!
December 16, 2016

Tickets worth $112 cost me $410.95 after they added their so-called "service fees", There was no service other than overbilling my credit card. They should be shut down.

Extra charges
December 15, 2016

I consider, that for a ticket which already is more than $100, any kind of extra charge is unacceptable.
Around Christmas time, wanting to offer to my family a quality, classical amusement, I really had to open my wallet. I have bought 3 tickets total value of $357 + service charges $107.10 ( are you kidding me?- I should have taken one more person to the show for the price of $107.10!) + email delivery $ 6.95 ( charging for email delivery? This is the first time when I meet this charge). Finally: instead of $357 the real value of the tickets, I was forced to pay $471.05. Nice! I still feel like somebody is joking with the costumers. But isn't funny at all!
I have seen this ballet before, in Europe, couple of times, in different cities, but the tickets didn't have this called "service charges".
What kind a services? I got the tickets by email.
It is ridiculous!
I am very disappointed!
A cultural, educational institution, what makes so inaccessible for middle class people to see a beautiful piece of one of the famous composers of the world!
Sad.
Again, I am very disappointed of the head-management.

Ordering was easy but if my wife hadn't had her heart set on seeing this event, I would have probably looked elsewhere for tickets. I think the service charges and electronic delivery fees were excessive.

I wanted 2 tickets to the Nutcracker Ballet. Searched on onlinecitytickets and found 2 seats! I wanted to make sure I had a good view, so I made certain I would be near the front in the section of the symphony hall that I enjoyed. After selecting my seats, I was told my tickets were secured and on their way! I paid $350 for these tickets. The tickets didn't arrive at my apartment until THE DAY I needed to be in the city the ballet was being performed at. And upon looking them over, they were NOT in the section I had selected, but rather on the other end of the hall in the back. The seats were not worth anywhere close to $350 either, rather they were 2 $50 tickets. I am a struggling college student! I haven't been to this ballet in nearly 10 years and wanted to have a really nice night out. Onlinecitytickets ruined my experience. I could barely see. And I wasted 2 weeks worth of pay to cover the extra $250 I shouldn't have paid for these horrid seats.

Rip Off
December 15, 2016

OnlineCityTickets is not original seller. When I ordered I thought I was dealing with MetroTix and ended up paying double for the same tickets MetroTix Had
I wish I could cancel these because I think you give all legal scalpers a bad name
