This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I wasn’t happy that I bought from the company www.onlinecitytickets.com. I ordered 5 tickets, and each ticket cost me about $95. After that I got some fake confirmation email, which didn’t contain any useful info. I contacted the rep, but the guy sounded unprofessional and behaved like he didn’t care about my problem. He only advised to be more patient and that’s all. I wonder if there are people, who face the same problems. What measures do you take in order to stop it?

Same experience. They start by showing the price for 4 tickets, which is approximately right. But when you go to purchase them the price changes to a cost per ticket. And then they add a HUGE service fee on. The tickets end up costing about 100% more than the actual cost and the service you get when you go is useless. Avoid at all cost.

Stay far very far away. Online City Tickets is a complete scam and fake website. They stole $360 from me. There's no live reps to speak with. I am ready to take legal action

Did you ever get your tickets? I have the same experience. I want to know if anyone who got an email saying they should have received actually end up eventually receiving them. Thank you My event is coming up Thanksgiving weekend.

I'm also wondering if you ever received your tickets or if you did, were they even valid? I'm noticing no assigned seat numbers on my confirmation and I've also paid triple than what the cost was supposed to be.. I want to know how to go after this fraudulent company.. any suggestions?

Even though Online City Tickets markets itself as a ticket reseller, it’s not clear on their website until the transaction is over and you reach out customer service requesting a confirmation regarding your tickets, that you are not actually buying tickets at all. You are just handing your money over to this company for a promise to deliver any type of tickets at a later date; and this IS A TOTAL SCAM!

EVEN THOUGH I CHOSE MY TICKEST ON THE SEAT CHART I NEVER GOT A CONFIRMATION FROM IT. AFTER REACHING OUT CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY TOLD ME THOSE TICKETS WERE NOT EVEN GUARANTEED! WHAT A TOTAL SCAM THIS COMPANY.

Your tricky policies may believe you can go forward with your illegal practices, including that if I don’t get the selected tickets I will get better seats? How as a company can you possible know what is best for me? It may be good for you and for your illegal practices, but not for customers like me, that acted in goodwill to purchase tickets for a concert. Most important, how can you claim that your inventory establishes a 100% Buyer Guarantee when you can’t even deliver the tickets that I chose? THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

I got an email my 3 tickets shipped on 4/20/2018. I paid extra for 2nd day air delivery. They were supposed to be delivered on 4/24/2018. I tracked them that evening as I have not received them and apparently they are lost? Very upset, I spent $150 to take my son to the monster trucks and here I am with no tickets!

I paid $346 for two concert tickets and when they were emailed to me the face value says $75 each. I checked out the arena cost and my seats are worth $75. Called the company repeatedly but always told to email. I emailed and never heard back. So I sent a complaint to BBB and on other sites. Deceptive company!

I purchased tickets for a concert months in advanced from this site not knowing that I was getting ripped off by $100 and my seats were in the nosebleeds and I couldn't see a thing at the concert. I'm Highly dissatisfied and will never get tickets from this site again!

The experience with OnlineCityTickets is learning.
Now I will always check what people think about a company.

My opinion: Don't use this company. I overpaid 1.73 as much for tickets with OnlineCityTickets.

Purchased tickets from you on 8/3/17 and the tickets were $56 each, 2 were purchased. You charged my account $249.67 for 2 $56 dollar tickets. This is what my account says Ticketswar on TH [protected]. I would like the money that you owe me for the wrong charging on these tickets. Karen Stahl e-mail karenstahl65@gmail.com

Stay far far away from this scam. I purchased tickets for an event then later got an email that it was postponed, but they cannot refund me. The original event was sched for May 9th now its Aug 4th and still no work. When you call you cannot get a rep. They stole my $360. This is a complete bogus website stay away!

I wish I read the comments before I purchased two tickets for a concert for which I was charged service fee of $72. Right after noticing the charge, I called the company and tried to cancel the tickets or the charge, but no help at all. This company is a scam and they should not exist.

I thank you for your e-mail and you are right about this company. I purchased tickets for The Price Is Right Live at the MGM National Harbor in Maryland for this Sunday Nov. 4, 2018. I did not get an e-mail to print my tickets nor did I get them in the mail. I paid $273.74 for two tickets. I have called and e-mailed them since May 23, 2018 with no help from anyone. Now I don't think I will get to be on the show but I am going forward with a complaint. Christine K.

I bought a ticket to the March 3 show at the Belco theater from this website to Chris rock. It was fraudulent and someone else already had the real ticket at the venue. They are refusing a refund.

I am told that my a promotional email has been sent to me and I have not received it and I cannot get a hold of anybody to find out why or to get my tickets. I need an order number to even talk to anybody and I don't have an order number. I am not able to talk to somebody so I need to know what to do

I paid 317.99$ for 2 tickets on Online City Tickets. Finally the real value for each ticket was 52.75$ per ticket. I paid more than 200$ more that it actually worth. Do not trust this website. Never buy any tickets on it! They'll steal your money

had this same experience!
This was a dream concert for me to attend and it was a pricey $350 each. They later issued me my seats which was only worth $102, with a different name on the ticket - was stuck way in the back, awful seats! I had friends who purchased tickets at a much lower price and had the floor...
