All those looking for convenience of booking tickets online, please beware !!
BookMyShow is the most 3rd grade site - with fraud payment systems and worst after sales service.
My bad experience started with my desire to watch the movie "3 " in City Pride Cinema, Kothrud , Pune.
Hence, I booked my movie tickets as per details below.
Movie : 3
Cinema : City Pride , Kothrud, Pune
Show Date: 27th December 2009
Show time: 2000 hours
Seat numbers booked: Row C – Seat numbers 7,8,9
Booking Date: 25th December 2009
Booking Time:[protected] hours
Total number of tickets booked: 3
Payment channel: ICICI Netbanking
The booking process happened normally till the payment was made.
And then I got the error message below:
" Technical Error: -24001
Somethings not right here. Chances are we are already on it trying to fix it. In the meantime you could try again or try calling 39895050 or if the problem persists please write to us at [protected]@bookmyshow.com and inform us about the issue."
The money has been deducted from my ICICI Bank account, but I have not got the tickets.
Some key learning’s from this experience:
1. Payment processing is very very fast to take money from your bank account.
2. You never get your tickets.
3. Call center and emails dont work at all !!
4. Their Mumbai office number has only 1 office boy[protected]
Overall, its very big "Screw My Show" for the customer !!!
Better to go directly to the cinema and get real tickets for real money.
Please avoid getting cheated like me !!

Complaint marked as Resolved
I am Ashim Saha from Kolkata I booked 2 tickets for Raajneeti on 6/6/2010 at 5:45 PM in CINE MAX: MAIN SQUARE. I had using my Net banking through my Debit card for booking the movie ticket on 06/06/10. But at the point of time booking ticket there is a system error on Bookmyshow.com. Then I had tried another time and the booking confirmation is confirmed on my mobile & mail (Ref No. [protected]) is confirmed.
After the booking I had used me Phone banking to check my available balance in my A/C. Then I realize when the system is error on Bookmyshow.com the tickets was booked & amount was debited (Rs. 413.09). Kotak bank informs me I had made the transaction (Ref No. [protected]). But I don’t need these tickets because I had also done my booking after the error. My new booking reference no is [protected].
So kindly relies thou itckets. Also I had complain on Kotak Mahindra Phone banking regarding this (Complain No:[protected], dated: 02/06/10), for stop payment. Please cancel this transition & credit the above mention amount.
Note:
Cancel the transactions: Ref No. [protected]
Amout: Rs. 413.09
