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.

Ripe off
May 7, 2016

I purchased tickets through this site for Drake and Future concert and I was charge triple the amount of the price. Then when I go online to print out my tickets I became nervous because someone's else name was printed on the ticket. My order number and the amount I paid for the ticket did not match the ticket receipt.

Face value
May 6, 2016

I paid $180 per ticket including the service charge. The face value is $75. I think this should be more of a black and white system. Paying that much in addition to the service charge should be illegal!

Not sure if it's a scam or not, I over paid and still haven't received my tickets, I got a confirmation that said I will receive them 2 days before the concert! I wasn't even trying to order from them, their site popped up when I put the theater of the concert I was trying to purchase. So irritated!

I purchased two field seat tickets for Beyonce's Formation World Tour with OnlineCityTickets. The tickets were incredibly cheaper than any other site and were great seats at that. I was able to download my tickets right away and received several confirmation emails to confirm my purchase/billing receipt. I even made a mistake with my billing information, contacted OnlineCityTickets Customer Service about it, and they quickly responded and resolved the issue.

I read all the bad reviews after I purchased the tickets. It made me worry that I've been scammed.

But I had absolutely NO issues with my tickets the day of the concert. Went in the stadium with ease, went to our seats, and enjoyed the great concert! We even got to move closer to the stage later in the show! Tickets were legit and I'm glad I got great seats for a cheap price! I only wish the service fees weren't so high, but still got a great deal compared to other sites.

Another victim of online "bait & switch." Pay attention to your mouse clicks and are with your assumed ticket provider/promoter throughout your entire purchase process. Somehow, OnlineCityTickets managed to sneak its way into my transaction by diverting me to their website - I was too tunnel-visioned to realize the "switch" to their website. This is their niche... and as much as it SUCKS big time, they're perfectly legal albeit without any ethics. Yes, I accept responsibility for not questioning it at the time. Ended up paying DOUBLE for my tickets, assuming that the show I wanted to see was in HIGH demand. Ignorance is bliss and hindsight 20/20. Shame on me for not paying attention. Of course, OCT won't reimburse the full amount to cancel the transaction, but offered me the equivalent of 10% back on my purchase (while STILL making a 90% profit). Like all the other negative reviewers, I got burned. Shame on you, OCT, for your deceitful ways; shame on ME if I let it happen again. Buyers beware! Will find out if the tickets are legitimate on 8/12/2016 (Lindsey Stirling concert).

Never again
April 27, 2016

I ordered Janet Jackson tickets from Online City Tickets. Even though they state, "Your tickets are always guaranteed and protected by our 100% money back guarantee", they refused to refund my money when her concert was indefinitely postponed. BEWARE!

I purchased 3 Garth Brooks tickets and it cost me over $600. $138 of that was their surcharge. What a joke! I was trying to get on the Iowa Events Center website and thought I was purchasing tickets at face value. My fault for getting to excited and not looking but they really are taking advantage.

Buy ticket from OnlineCityTickets.com only if your intention is to pay twice the value of the tickets

I would not deal with this dead beat firm again if they were giving the tickets away. They don't even deserve 1 star but it was my only option.

Everything went fine
April 18, 2016

I purchased Mumford & Sons tickets from here & while I didn't like the ticket prices or the additional charges I couldn't find better prices elsewhere. Was very nervous when I read the horrible reviews & was worried I was scammed. The tickets were emailed to me over a week earlier than promised & we got into the show fine. In our case it was a successful purchase and I was able to see my favorite band put on a phenomenal show!

I purchased Monster Jam tickets for the Peoria Civic Center and they were the more expensive ones and listed as Section 8 Row 7 and listed as Lower Bowl seats. I printed them out and they sold me Upper Bowl nose bleed seats while misrepresenting them as Lower Bowl seats. I contacted site and they said they were listed properly and Section 8 is one continuous section and the fact that the ticket said upper bowl on it even though it was listed as lower bowl had no bearing. What a crooked scam. I will never buy from them again and will tell everyone who will listen not to buy from them too.

Don't buy here!

SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! Buyer Beware. Money back guarantee is a crock. Why are they one of the few ticket outlets that are not returning people's hard earned money on a nonexistent Janet Jackson show. Buy your event tickets anywhere but here

I bought two tickets for the Rihanna concert in May, they came in fast but I lost one of the tickets and asked if I could get another copy or if something can be done about it, they didn't respond till couple weeks before the concert. I called and was put on hold for about 30 min then they hung up. This site should have something to back you up.

Bought 3 Janet Jackson tickets, and the company REFUSED to refund money. They claim "money back guarantee" is a crock of mess! The concert was cancelled until 'unknown". Consumers should not be held accountable for "unknowns" and this company should honor their "money back guarantee"

I purchase 3 tickets to the Janet Jackson concert originally scheduled January 23rd here in Houston Texas but was later postponed till July 13th and now has been postponed even further until some unknown date in 2017.

After calling their customer service number, I discovered that it's only an automated system. You will NEVER speak to a live person. I followed up by contacting them via email and Facebook in which I was in form no refunds will be issued for the Janet Jackson concert that has been postponed for the 2 time to some unknown date in 2017.

I purchased the 3 tickets in September of 2015. Today is April 11,2016 and still no concert and no refund!

Thanks a lot Janet Jackson and Online City tickets for STEALING our hard earned money!

I went to Worcester MA DCU center site and wanted to purchase tickets for a KISS concert.
When I clicked to buy tickets the link took me to Online City Ticket site. I clicked for two
Tickets and price listed was $248, when I checked out price was double plus service
Charges. This site is ripoff, I'm surprised DCU center is associated with type of business.
It's simple greed

Disgusted...
April 8, 2016

I bought two tickets to a Justin Bieber concert for my daughter and was charged over $900. Ticket price that I clicked on WAS NOT THAT HIGH! They hide behind a blanket customer service statement and that I did click on their "Sales Terms" (Which one doesn't have a lawyer on hand to read through them". It is something I will have to chalk up to an expensive lesson learned and should have check their reviews before using Online City Tickets. WILL NEVER USE THEIR SERVICES AGAIN - PLEASE READ THEIR REVIEWS AND SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS COMPANY! I WILL!

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my tickets go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you."

Complete Scam
April 5, 2016

I went to WWE.com to buy tickets to Wrestlemania. When I clicked on the section I wanted to sit an ad popped up. The ad was disguised as if I was continuing my order. This business model is intentionally deceitful. I purchased the tickets and found out later I was charged about $180 for $85 tickets. I kept emailing the company with questions about my order and kept receiving generic responses that didnt answer my questions. A couple days before the event they sent me an email saying I was to meet some guy with a blue hat in the parking lot before the event, they gave me a number to call that day and that was it, they refused to give me any more details and wouldnt even tell me what time to meet them. The person was not in the parking lot area they told me to meet and wasnt answering their phone. My buddy called the main company # and they told him to meet somewhere completely different on the opposite side of the arena. I met my friends there and somehow they had received the tickets without me present before I arrived. I was supposed to show an ID and the card I used to place the order but my friends picked up the tickets without me. They gave the tickets to a different person without me there. Talk about shady, wasnt even wearing the blue hat. Got in the show late and missed the first hour. The owners and operators of this business should feel personally disgusted with themselves as they are complete scumbags.
