Uncontrollable Ticket Mafia At Multiplex
on Aug 6, 2015
That happens to be a big multiplex theatre in Hyderabad which is the only one allowed in the whole city of Hyderabad run a show at 8.45 am in the morning. Minutes after opening the online booking, the 8.45 am show got sold out. Should we call that the craze among cinema lovers for Srimanthudu? No way.
Only a mere 30-40 tickets are sold online, while rest were blocked from the moment they opened the ticket sales. What’s the reason? Theatre authorities mentioned that distributor has blocked all the tickets for the 8.45 am show with his powers. As the distributor bought the film for 14 crores, he wants to sell even the tickets of multiplex theatres at hefty prices to recover his money. With distributors themselves involving in this ticket-mafia, no doubt its uncontrollable.
Black markets are selling the minimum 150 rupees ticket of a Multiplex for 500 rupees at the minimum. It’s a surprise that police and other authorities are sleeping when movie distributors reaping benefits by illegal ways.
