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.

Waste of Time and Money
December 2, 2016

Every Christmas my husband and I do something special. This is our 3rd Christmas together. We decided to order tickets to the Appalachian Nutcracker in Knoxville TN. I thought this website was based on the Knoxville area. I got a little confused with it. I went to order our tickets. We purchased tickets that were close to the front. $94/ea. I really didn't want to buy the tickets because of the price, but my husband insisted. By the time I got through ordering the tickets there was a service charge of $27.50 for each ticket and then $7 for delivery fee. They were EMAILED. I don't think that a click of a button should cost your customers $7. The tickets didn't even arrive on time. I had to call and ask for them. Then they came to me and said $35 on them. They also gave me seats in section Y when the confirmation email said I'd be in seats A-CC which I specifically bought the tickets for section A. Talk about being crushed. I paid nearly $300 for tickets that could have cost me $50 tops for the back row they gave me. Don't ever buy from this company. I'm currently on the phone right now trying my best to see what they can do for me. I warn you, please do not order from this company. I wish I had the power to shut it down.

I did not receive my tickets. I got an email that said they would be shipped by 7/21/17. I was charged around $7.95 so that I could download them. Now I cant because I am vacationing out of the country until 12/16.

USD charges for starters
December 2, 2016

I was disappointed to find that the charge was in USD! I went to a canadian company website and their ticket partner? Was a US company The service charges and exchange are outrageous. Then my tickets I found out could not be used by the intended beneficiary and cannot be refunded even though the purchase was less than 1 week old!

Inflexible and heartless
December 2, 2016

The online app failed to change the date I wished to attend the event. This was not clear as I purchased the ticket. I placed a call immediately after receiving the download on my phone.
When I phoned, in hopes of exchanging the ticket for the desired date, I was told the purchase had processed and it was final.
I WILL NEVER purchase a ticket through this vendor again.

Handling Costs
December 2, 2016

The $158 handling charge for two tickets was excessive.

Loved the ease of purchasing tickets on this site and seeing the floor map to know where the tickets were for. Also loved how quickly the download of the tickets were received in email. This was a surprise for my husband for Christmas.

Sneaky
December 2, 2016

Charging in US dollars wasn't clearly shown on your site, instead it was in fine print that barely anyone can see. Last time I buy tickets off your site. Ended up paying 40$ more because of that

The site was easy to navigate, but additional fees for "service charges" and for instant downloadable tickets (no other delivery option available) were tacked on at checkout that weren't reflected in the original ticket prices--these fee increased the overall price by an additional $73 or so for two tickets.

On November 14th I purchased two tickets from Online City Tickets in the amount of $246. This was for Theresa Caputo at the Fox Theatre in Riverside, California. The show was on the same day that I purchased the tickets for, and after paying to park, waiting in a long line, walking up to the box office, was given the terrible news that the theatre only sells their own tickets. We were scared and screwed! After contacting Online City Tickets numerous times I was given the verbal excuse of "Sir, well of course the theatre wouldn't accept the tickets that you purchased, as many theatre's frown on outside ticket card holders selling to people". Does this make sense to anyone out there?!?!?!?!? I am screwed out of $246 and tell all of you readers to beware!

What seats do I have?
December 1, 2016

I ordered tickets. I am told "row A-Q". That tells me nothing. I paid for tickets but now I have to wait until they are sent before I know where I am sitting... anywhere from row A to row Q. My order says I will have to use either an "IOS" or Android mobile devise to gain entry! What are they? I have no clue what they are!

I picked tickets online then and called and spoke to the company on the phone to make sure there was no one in front of me before i ordered? There is no more i could have done to make sure I was buying the tickets I was looking at on their website?. Over $1,100 dollars and I download the tickets and they are half way around the arena 10 or 12 rows back behind 100's of people?

What a ripoff!
November 30, 2016

Thought this was the official ticket site and was in a hurry, so I didn't investigate further. Payed double what the same tickets at the box office cost. My fault for not snooping around. I won't make that mistake again.

Good and fast service
November 30, 2016

I was worried that this ticket site might not be legit. I did receive the tickets that I paid for the event and am very happy with the quick service to get them. I was worried it might take too long. They were sent to me within a week.

Good experience except
January 18, 2021

All fees were not disclosed until checkout, which was disappointing. It added another $30 per ticket or $120 to the total. I'd rather know all this upfront.
