Despite the Tollywood Film Industry making multiple requests to facilitate offline sales, the Andhra Pradesh government did not change its decision and went ahead with it. With the High Court saying that the movie tickets can be sold through Andhra Pradesh State Film Television and Theatre Development Corporation (APSFTVTDC), the government issued a few guidelines.
The guidelines say that APSFTVTDC will serve as the nodal agency and the tickets sold through the platform will come with a service charge of 2 percent. Adding more confusion to the topic, the government allowed the theatres to sell the tickets online.
Besides APSFTVTDC, theatres that are already selling tickets online can continue to do so. While selling the ticket online, the establishments should have to list the options and facilities they offer.
This came as a big shock to one and all who expected to get clarity on the online sales. Giving its nod to the nodal agency and the movie theaters to sell tickets added more confusion to the issue.
The Andhra Pradesh government has been saying that it brought the new GO so that the movie rockets will be affordable to one and all. But allowing the movie theatres to sell the tickets on their platform raised many questions about this promise. Will the movie tickets be affordable to everyone, ask many.
