Note: All the figures mentioned are in Rupees & mentioned as it is from the ticket invoice.
The above is the list of my ticket bookings. The sample size is chosen & the oldest entry is from 20th July 2019.
Purpose: To highlight the varied Convenience Fee charged unfairly.
For Your Further Information on the sample size taken,
- It is from various venues of the multiplex chain.
- To show how convenience fee ranges differently in the same multiplex chain.
- Most of them are first day first shows or weekend shows. The ticket rate will be hiked accordingly with no change whatsoever with convenience fee charged.
Convenience Fee - This is basically the internet handling fee which bookmyshow or similar ticketing websites charge the customer. The point is, this is the money which these ticket handling/booking websites need to pay to the bank from their pockets. Instead they're charging us which is illegal. Since RBI regulations haven't stopped them, one has to go through the tiresome process of asking legally the proof of this amount deducted from you, whether it is credited to the bank or not.
These apps will just put out the excuse, if you want premium service then you must pay the extra little amount. It looks like a little amount if you go for a movie once in a while. If you are a frequent moviegoer then just imagine how much you're forced to pay.
Why is the convenience fee different for each multiplex chain & single screens too?
