How much it'll cost to develop an on demand ticket booking app like Bookmyshow?

Bollywood and movies are at the core of the entertainment industry in India. In fact, putting Bollywood under the banner of the ‘entertainment industry’ would actually imbalance the very definition of an industry. Bollywood is no less than a phenomenon. With every Friday, a new film hitting the theatres, there remains only one question – how do we get to see it all where the seats are available along with the other details like show timings and prices for booking?

There were times when ques of people standing for hours and hours to get their movie tickets was common on the weekends. Or, they would resort to other frugal means of getting it. Now, the times have changed with a revolutionary on demand ticket booking app since past couple of years.

Bookmyshow, the most prominent on demand ticking app platform, has practically transformed the entire ticket booking experience. Be it movies, events, art shows, theatre or performing arts, Bookmyshow has come to the centre of this entire entertainment industry, almost channelizing great growth for the established cinema houses like PVR Cinemas. Be it a posh multiplex in Mumbai or a small secluded single screen theatre somewhere in south, Bookmyshow has its presence all over the place.

A few words to remember…

From a distance, the ticket booking app market may already seem crowded with Bookmyshow, Paytm and a lot of scope for other players to go for a horizontal integration. That said, the event organizing, management and selling industry in India is still quite unorganized. Yet, the demand for local content and events has been steadily growing. What was earlier a trend only visible in smaller towns, has now started strongly affecting the tastes of metro cities - people are looking for more experiential entertainment. People have understood that experiences are worth their investments, a good art exhibition will beat an average big budget Bollywood movie any day.

Hence, all you need to do is – bang in the middle, right upon the opportunity with our technology by your side.
