The recent meeting of AP Ticket Pricing Committee has brought out a lot of clarity on the tickets issue. Almost all demands of exhibitors are going to be met. Separate reasonable rates for Panchayati, municipality and municipal corporation centers will be fixed. Apart from this, multiplexes in gram panchayat will also have favourable pricing for the exhibitors.
The minimum ticket rate recommended is Rs 40 while the maximum has been set at Rs 140. This is the stipulated ticket rate for movies with a budget of up to Rs 75 crores. This figure will change in the case of Rs 100 crore movies and a ticket hike will be provided. Additionally, small movies will also get permission to screen the fifth show.
Additionally, the committee has suggested 20% of tickets in multiplexes be priced under the lower category.
Film chamber Vice-Chairman Mutyala Ramdas who was a part of the meeting requested the committee that RRR makers be allowed to hike ticket prices.
Mutyala Ramdas also stated that Chiranjeevi meeting YS Jaganmohan Reddy helped the issue to be fast-tracked towards a solution. It was also decided that TFI would make more efforts to produce films from AP and use the facilities promised by the government.
The delegates from the film industry have requested the new G.O to be issued by 20th. However, that is unlikely to happen. CM Jaganmohan Reddy will be reviewing the pointers from the AP Ticket Pricing Committee meeting and is expected to make a decision next week.
