Why Your ₹200 Movie Ticket Becomes ₹260 Online

The convenience fee is the booking platform's own revenue, not the cinema's, and no national law caps it.

You also pay 18% GST on the convenience fee, separate from the GST on the ticket itself.

State price caps in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra cover the base ticket only, not the online fee.

Buying at the box-office counter avoids the convenience fee entirely.

Card, wallet and cinema-club offers are the realistic way to claw the fee back.
