BENGALURU: In a bid to make movie-watching more affordable, the state government on Tuesday notified draft rules capping ticket prices in all theatres and multiplexes across Karnataka at Rs 200, inclusive of entertainment tax.
The government has set a 15-day window for stakeholders to submit their objections. If no objections are received, the draft rules will be finalised. The draft rules remove all seat classifications such as balcony, premium, etc. All tickets, regardless of the class, will now be priced at Rs 200 as the rule enabling classification of seats has been dropped from the Act.
While the proposal had previously met with opposition from multiplex operators, film industry bodies in the state have welcomed the move.
