Telangana CM rules out ticket price hike, single screen theaters applaud decision

Deccan Chronicle  

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy's decision to rule out a hike in ticket prices in Telangana has been met with relief from over 300 single-screen theaters in the state. Vijayender Reddy, president of the Telangana Controllers and Exhibitors Association, welcomed the move, stating, “Ticket hikes have devastated hundreds of single screens, and we are happy that the Chief Minister has ruled out further increases.” He explained that the surge in ticket prices had caused audiences to avoid theaters, putting theaters in financial distress. Reddy further urged the state government to set ticket prices between Rs 100 and Rs 200 for two classes, instead of the inflated prices ranging from Rs 400 to Rs 600 for blockbuster films. “Some filmmakers receive special government orders to hike ticket prices for a few days, which leads to inflated prices for star-studded movies, scaring away audiences.
