Committee meet on cinema ticket pricing inconclusive

Panel counters exhibitors’ contention that they will run into losses

The committee constituted by the State government to look into the aspects relating the fixation of cinema ticket rates met on Tuesday. The meeting remained inconclusive though some of the exhibitors presented their case before the committee.

The exhibitors contended that the uniform rule for all theatres would push the theatre managements into doldrums. The managements would incur losses. The prices fixed for theatres in rural areas were meagre and would not be sufficient to meet the day to day expenses also, they contended.
