However my previous amount was deducted too and its been more than 25 days i am chasing them for a refund. They keep saying 2-3 days every now and then and do not assist in any further way.

I have booked 4 tickets for rajathi raja illayaraja concert at coimbatore today. The amount got debited during the purchase of ticket but there is no confirmation from book my show for the purchase of the tickets booked, i have selected 500 rs ticket for 4 people, 2000 rs got debited from my account but purchase of the ticket by mail not received
Could you please help me of resolving the issue by sending the confirmation ticket to my registered mail id and phone number

I have booked tickets online so many times. But the internet handling charges for different movie shows are different, likewise these charges for normal movies are less than that of blockbuster movies. Kindly fix a amount for internet handling!!!
What is the use of booking tickets online if we are using our internet and you are deducting 50 to 70 rupees for 2 tickets??? Moreover it's the cinema houses who have to pay for the mdr (Merchant discount rate), but instead they pass these charges to the consumers which is illegal according to the new rbi rules.

I am trying to get a refund for a failed transaction for past 20 days with no response from the bookmyshow support team. Every information with proof from the bank has been provided, but the things are delayed beyond expectations.
The ticket was booked on 19th may 2019. The request was raised the same day, but no resolution has been done to this date.
The worst part is there is no response from the support team. Even my email requesting me to provide an update as to whether i should wait or forget was never responded.

I booked 2 movie tickets through bookmyshow [hereafter referred as bms] mobile application on 12th of may and the ticket booking was unsuccessful but the amount was deducted from my account. Bms team said that the refund will be received in 5 working days but even after 10 days till today [23rd of may] there is no refund. Bms team opened the tickets for this issue in their system incident id - [#8721574], [#8684767] but when asked about the update on the refund, they are not ready to provide me an answer on it. Whenever i call them, they ask me to wait for 24 hours. The money is not received by me yet and the bms team is not replying to any of my mails. During the call, they keep me on hold for long period of time and doesn't reply on anything.
I request bms team to provide me my refunded amount as soon as possible.

Whenever we are booking tickets on bookmyshow through credit card issued by sbi or voucher to the tune of rs. 500, if two tickets are less than 500 rs than extra is charged but if the value is less than 500 rs than money left is not returned nor adjusted in the internet fees as well.
The bookmyshow is cheating the customer and as per rbi you are not supposed to charge internet handling fees.

"with the weekend up on us, many are busy booking tickets to the latest bollywood as well as hollywood releases. Much of this will be done online. A service that online ticketing websites charge for, over and above the price of the ticket. However, a latest right to information (Rti) query has shown that these charges could very well be unauthorised.

The rti query to the reserve bank of india by vijay gopal, president of ‘forum against corruption’ a body fighting against corruption, showed that a user doesn’t have to pay extra while booking movie tickets online through a mobile app or website.

The rbi stated that online platforms through which movie tickets are booked, do not hold the authority to levy handling fees from customers. The reply further explains that this is in violation of the rbi’s merchant discount rate (Mdr) regulations.

Mdr is the cost paid by a merchant to a bank for accepting payment from its customers via credit or debit cards every time a card is used in their stores. A cost which by its definition means that it should be borne by the merchant/trader and not the customer. However, today’s platforms such as bookmyshow, paytm and pvr cinemas continue to charge exorbitant ‘internet handling fee’ from customers, which is in violation of the mdr regulations and therefore illegal."

Event name: dj snake live on 24th march 2019

6 tickets, total amount of rs. 6000

The event got rescheduled on 23rd march 2019 and i filled the form for the refund. It was 10 days i waited and then got an sms message to send them the entry bands which were by chance with me but yes 1 out of 6 were actually torn out in my bag and hence i sent 5 of them by dtdc courier and it was well received on time on 2nd april 2019. Image attached.

It's 14th may 2019 now and i haven't received any refund despite regular follow-ups on email and customer chat. Last time when i got a reply back they said i will get the amount in 5 days and that day was 25th april 2019.

Please look into it.

This is the email ticket id, which was raised but no one responds to it anymore.

I am extremely disappointed that due to some typographical error from customer end and lack of system checks in bookmyshow confirmation process i feel my i have been cheated of my money by bookmyshow. I booked 2 tickets on 11 may at 14.57 hours for kontho movie at pjp cinema at jamshedpur. However due to typigraphical error frim my side the mobile number typed was 703*76291. How can bookmyshow send confimation to a number (703*476291) which is a invalid number since the country code of india is 91 and not 70. This is a basic system check, where error message must be shown for minor typographical error done by a customer. Hence my claim for refund is genuine and valid. If i do not get refund i will stop booking any ticket through bookmyshow.

With reference to above we have to say my account has been debited rs. 1516.16 on 01/05/2019 with journal no[protected].in my knowledge it is not done by me. Kindly provide me full details about above debit txn.in which i know who made the txn for booking of cinema ticket. If not done by me kindly refund the above amount to our debited account. Thanking you.

I booked 2 tickets on 19th April and one ticket on 20th April . And than as I saw this is a false booking I canceled my booking on 21st of April. The refund message came on 22nd from bookmyshow official, but i only get a refund of 57 rs from a total amount of 423 rs . As they mentioned to refund total amount within 10 days, but still after 10 days I don't receive my refund .

I am greety. Ibooked 6 tickets for a movie in book myshow.com in shobha mall inox on 15 april 2019 using federal bank credit card after selecting seats and entering my account details, bookmyshow website displayed some message like 'processing...' and after some time, it displayed, 'oops, an error occurred'.
But an amount of rs 1180.76 was debited from my account. I waited for around 20-25 minutes, but i didn't receive any sms or e-mail from book my show for confirmation of tickets but i did receive sms from bank for deduction of money. Money for my 1st transaction should be refunded bookmyshow as it didn't handle the transaction properly and deducted amount without booking the seats.

I contacted the on-line customer care executives also but they also just say that we will contact you as soon as possible but then there is no reply/respose. I request a refund of rs 1180.75 my details:

Date of incident: 25th apr 1 am

Description : yesterday midnight (1 am 25th apr), there were 9 unauthorized transactions happened to purchase bms gift cards using my amazon pay account for amount of 8500 inr, i already raised complain with bms (Incident # 8531622), it seems bms is hacked. Bms please do investigation quickly & refund amount asap.

I booked "avengers - end game" movie tickets through bookmyshow for sunday, 28th apr @ 2:20pm (Booking id wa2ya86) at cinepolis, dlf place, saket. After 24 hours, bookmyshow informed that ticket is cancelled since cinema has cancelled the show. I inquired and found that cinepolis didn't cancel the show. I called & asked bookmyshow reinstate my ticket booking as show is not cancelled however didn't receive any resolution or logical answer for cancellation. Bookmyshow must stop such malpractices as it cause lot of problem & pain to consumers.

Yesterday, i received sms and email that i sent a gift card of 2000 and 500 on bookmyshow. Giftcards were purchased using quikpay. My quikpay was linked with paytm.

I have not made this transaction. I immediately sent an email to both paytm and bookmyshow.

Paytm replied saying since its from merchant side (Bookmyshow) only they can trace the transaction and find the fraudster.

So far, i have no response from bookmyshow despite sending several mails.

Ultimately i had to put this complaint here. I have sent all details of this giftcard to bookmyshow on [protected]@bookmyshow.com.
