Ticket Rates to be slashed from Monday at Multiplexes

There is  very  encouraging news  for cinema patrons reeling  under the  impact  of prohibitive ticket prices. After the  super-success  of National Cinema  Day   on September 23 when  ticket prices at  multiplexes across  the  nation were reduced to Rs 75, the  multiplex associations have taken a  decision  to  reduce  the ticket prices from Monday .

This time it won’t be  as cheap as Rs 75,but  close:  from Monday , September 26 to September 29 , tickets will cost 100-110 rupees.

A  source  in the know tells me this  is the  first step  towards a permanent  revamp of ticket prices.

“They are  planning to reduce ticket rates from 300-350  rupees to 100-110 rupees  on a permanent  basis.For  now the price-slash is for four days. But after the release of the two biggies next  Friday, Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: I    and Vikram  Vedha , ticket prices are  likely to be permanently revised. It is the  only  way cinemas  can survive,” the source informs.
