The show slated for 11/april was cancelled last minute, with no intimation provided to customers. we were amongst the many customers who braved the bombay traffic on a friday evening to make it to the venue only to be told by the security that there was no show. after multiple attempts at 'chatting' with the AI bots on their app, because of course they don't think it wise to invest in a human and responsive customer service process, i am still to recieve any intimation of when i can expect a refund - three weeks later and still wondering with complete silence from the bookmyshow team. appalling!

      I had booked my tickets through BookMyShow. Upon reaching the venue C21, Indore, I was denied entry despite having a valid ticket. The venue staff informed me that they had no record of my booking or that the ticket was invalid due to reasons beyond my control.

      This situation caused severe inconvenience, financial loss, and emotional distress as I had planned my schedule around this event and spent money on travel and other related expenses.

        I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against BookMyShow regarding a severe case of miscommunication, inconvenience, and financial loss caused by their customer support team.

        On Feb 7 2025, I contacted BookMyShow’s customer service to confirm if I could collect my tickets for the event on the 9th of afeb 2025 one day earlier, on the 8th. I was assured by their team that I would be able to collect my tickets at the venue on the 8th. Based on this confirmation, I traveled for 7 hours to the venue, incurring significant travel costs.

        Upon arrival, I was informed by the venue staff that tickets could not be collected that day and that I would have to return the next day. This was a clear case of miscommunication from BookMyShow’s customer support, which caused me unnecessary hardship and expenses.

        When I contacted customer support again, my experience worsened:
        • A representative named Manishdisconnected the conversation abruptly without allowing me to explain the situation.
        • I was then connected to another representative named Vaishnavi, to whom I requested compensation for my expenses or an upgrade as a reasonable resolution for their mistake. I was assured that the matter would be escalated, and a manager would call me immediately. However, I waited for more than 30 minutes, and no one contacted me.
        I have made reasonable attempts to resolve this issue directly with BookMyShow, but I have not received any resolution or even a response. I am seeking:
        1. Compensation for the travel expenses I incurred due to their miscommunication.
        2. A formal apology for the inconvenience caused.
        3. Immediate corrective action and accountability to ensure this does not happen again.
        Attached to this complaint are relevant screenshots of the conversation and contact details. I request that this matter be addressed urgently. If I do not receive a satisfactory resolution, I will escalate this further through consumer courts.

          I have Play credit card which offers Rs. 500 off every month for movie tickets. I could not avail this offer from October as there is fault from Bookmyshow and they accepted it. They said that as compensation they will give Rs. 500 as bms cash on 08.11.2024 and mentioned that I will get the voucher by 24 to 48 hours i.e. 10.11.2024.
          But today is 13.11.2024, still I didn't receive the voucher. Also I want to mention they don't respond to mail properly. I have to raise the issue in social media, only then they reply.
          They are saying everyday that I will recieve the voucher but I didn't.

          Last time at the time of conversation regarding offer issue, they said that they will send mail as confirmation of issuing bms voucher and by that time they've asked how much I will rate them from 1 to 5 where 1 is low and 5 is high. I told that it is 5. After cutting the call, I realised that they didn't send mail regarding voucher. They just need the rating, not doing proper work

            I booked a trek to Skandagiri on BookMyShow for 3 persons(including myself) on 13th August, 2024 which was arranged by Sanchari. It got cancelled due to government order banning trek at that site for 2 months(thats what Sanchaari people told), hence I want
            refund.
            I contacted BookMyShow and Sanchari multiple times. They assured full refund in a week but its almost a month. Besides the attached screenshots, I requested them on call multiple times. I am fed up with their customer service now.

                  It has been OVER A MONTH and I have still not received my refund from BookMyShow for an event cancellation (SPXCE Festival)
                  I got an e-mail from the company that they have initiated my refund on 29th Feb'24 but nothing has been received.
                  I have shared my bank statements, invoice for the event with their customer support team and yet, no response has been recorded.

                  I have never seen such an unprofessional and unethical behavior before and they must be sued!
