We has earlier reported that the Andhra Pradesh State Government has taken a surprising decision of banning the online movie ticketing in the state. The decision has immediately been implemented and the movie portals such as Book My Show, No More Queue, along with PVR, Fame, Big Cinemas theaters have stopped their online movie bookings. The latest we hear is the State government has decided to monopolize the online ticketing business. The Govt officials have taken the decision to let only one single company to operate the online ticketing for all the cinemas.
The other interesting fact is 50% of the inventory must be offered for the company, by all the cinemas for selling the tickets online. N V Ramana Babu, who owns the company Galaxy Entertainers Pvt. Ltd was awarded a 5 year contract but the company is presently dormant, says the ministry of corporate affairs’ site. Neither the State government nor the Police seem to have the clear vision on the issue, which is further causing confusion to the online ticketing companies. As a result, the major sites have stopped the entire online booking. Added to this, the government is restricting the service charge for the each ticket as Rs.6, where the regular service charge was Rs.15. Shockingly, KyaZoonga is still continuing its services with a service charge of Rs.15. Whether the government will demand them to halt their services or not is still awaited.
