Theater tickets hiked

Published by aparna under Gossip Edit This

A few years back the highest allowed price in any theater in the state was Rs. 35/-

This price was later increased to sixty for the first two weeks, after which the price should be bought back to thirty five. This change was reasonable, as people who cannot afford the higher price can wait for two weeks and then watch the movie. Now, the government has decided to lift the restriction of getting back to a lower price, which means that the highest price ticket in the state is now sixty rupees, which is almost double the current price.

This move deters all the movie lovers who cannot afford the high price. The reasons behind the approval of this hike are obvious, with the government trying to garner some support from the film fraternity in the next general elections. The producers should realize that, hiking prices might finally result in higher losses as the number of people who come to the theaters will drop significantly.

This move might also boost the piracy industry as people start looking for cheaper forms of entertainment. It is high time that the government reconsider its decision!
