GST Effect: Movie Ticket price Hiked in Chennai

Chennai, October 08: The Tamil Nadu State Government has revised the base ticket price for film tickets by 25%. This new ticket price system will be in effect from the 9th of October.

The multiplexes located in Greater Chennai can now charge a base price of 150. If you add 28% GST (42rs) and 30 rupees booking charge, the final ticket price that a consumer would have to pay would be around 225 rupees.

The maximum ticket price in multiplexes and air-conditioned theatres in Chennai would now be Rs 160 while the minimum will be Rs 50.

The government had formed a high-level committee to examine the film fraternity’s issues following their indefinite stir in July against the implementation of the goods and service tax.
