The Ticket pricing for films in Andhra Pradesh is low compared to that in Telangana. There is nearly a 100-rupee price difference, and many big-budget films would have to apply for a ticket hike everytime before the release. This is also the case for small budget films which enjoy a ticket hike in Telangana without permission.
Many Producers have appealed for a long time to the Government of Andhra Pradesh to issue a G.O. for this purpose. Finally, the Government took all these appeals into consideration and formed a committee now. This committee will look into the matter of the ticket hikes for films.
Now, the Producers expect the ticket prices to go close to Telangana rates. They also hope that this would provide a big relief to them. But these aggressive ticket hikes may also kill the inflow of audience, fearing the high prices. This plan may be useful for big-budget films, but it surely affects medium-budget films to some level.
