The ticket prices issue has taken a tragic turn with over 100 theatres shutting down their doors voluntarily. These theatres are spread across Uttarandhra, Godavari, and Krishna districts.
The whole issue started when the government started conducting raids last week. The government has been shutting down theatres citing the violation of government orders.
Surprise inspections are being conducted across the state. Three theatres were shut down in Vizianagaram on Tuesday while Krishna district Joint Collector seized 15 theaters in the district yesterday.
The ticket prices that have been brought under implementation have made it really impractical for exhibitors to operate with. The rents, maintenance, and taxes will leave basically nothing for the theatre owners and if the same continues, it will be a massive loss to the industry.
Now, the theatre owners are voluntarily shutting down and are demanding the government’s immediate attention to the issue. The exhibitors are demanding a new government order which would provide relief from the current rates.
