Ticket price shocker for film buffs

The State government on Friday increased the ticket prices in cinema theatres for different grades from municipal corporations to gram panchayats. The new rates will be enforced with immediate effect.
Balcony ticket price in air-cooled theatres has been increased from Rs.55 to Rs.70 and for air-conditioned theatres, from Rs. 60 to Rs.75 in GHMC limits.
While the price of Rs.10 class remains the same, the government has permitted theatre managements to increase the second and third class ticket prices by a maximum of Rs.15 per ticket.
Managements have to justify the increase with reference to space, quality of seats etc in theatres.
Mandatory
It has now been made mandatory for all theatres and multiplexes to provide wheelchairs at two places on the theatre premises.
Theatre managements should also adhere to conditions stipulated under the Legal Metrology Act and Legal Metrology Packaged Commodity Rules. Further, provisions under Food Safety and Standard Regulations will be applicable to all food canteens in theatres and multiplexes.
