Transcation reference is UBP/DEBIT/[protected]. i need my money 300 to be transferred back to my account. have attached the transactions details attached.

I'd booked 4 tickets for a 12:45 p.m. show on January, 17th (No one killed Jessica movie) through PVR cinema's site. An amount of Rs.780/- has been deducted from my HDFC account for which I got a confirmation message from the bank. But the tickets were not booked. The page got hanged but debited the amount. When I went to PVR cinema MGF Metropolitan, Gurgaon they said that the amount will be refunded if i lodge a complaint here.

Requesting the concerned authorities to kindly resolve the matter asap. Thanking you.

After this, I mailed 3 times to the PVR Cinemas at [protected]@pvrcinemas.com for this failure, but i did not recieved any responses from them. Even so far, i did not get my money back.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I want to do the complaint for 3D glasses which provide by Naraina PVR Cinema for 3D movie Narnia 3.

These glasses are very highy and sizes are also very bigger which not suitable for kids.

We pay the higher charges for 3D movie but due to high weight and big sizes my kids not enjoy this movie.


Thanks & best rgds

Dea Sir / Madam

I tried to book 4 tickets of movie "No Problem" on 11-Dec-2010 for 8pm show on PVR-Mulund for which cost shown to me was Rs. 780.

I tried to pay with gift card no. [protected] for Rs. 500 and balance amount of Rs. 280 was to be paid through credit card. Process was aborted in between giving error message "SESSION EXPIRED" and when I tried to book ticket again using the same gift card, I found that balance on the same gift card was zero.

Again, I booked the ticket with another gift card no. [protected] for Rs. 500 and balance Rs. 280 with credit card. This time the process was successful.

However, balance of Rs. 500 on gift card no. [protected] was wronglly nullified and hence the same needs to be reinstated and confirmed.

I still await action from PVR and any response in this regard.

Online booking transaction
I just booked 4 tickets online from the PVR cinemas site for the hindi movie Guzarish scheduled for tomorrow 30/11/10 at 6.15 PM. After I was directed to the HDFC netbanking site and the payment was done I received an error of "transaction unsuccessful". On checking my account I observed that an amount totalling to 780/- was deducted and no confirmation message was sent either to my e-mail ID or mobile number.
I was able to pull out the contact number of PVR cinemas,MGF Mall Gurgaon from the net but the the line was busy constantly or was left unanswered. I immediately dropped them an e-mail on [protected]@pvrcinemas.com,[protected]@pvrcinemas.com raising my concern. While looking for a way to recover the money I was really shocked when I stumbled on the consumer complaints forum here to find numerous disgruntled customers who have raised complaints voicing the same issue. I would appreciate if someone looks into this right away and ensure that our money is credited back to our accounts. This is highly inexcusable as this issue has been going on since long.
Please revert back my money as soon as possible.

I tried booking 2 tickets for "The Devil" on the 6th of November 2010 through PVR's website http://www.pvrcinemas.com using HDFC netbanking, but before I could complete the booking the transaction timed out. An amount of Rs. 500 was debited from my account and hasn't yet been refunded. [CCA[protected]Avenues India Ltd, Cheque No. C[protected]] I have emailed both [protected]@pvrcinemas.com and [protected]@pvrcinemas.com, but there has been no reponse so far. I really don't understand how a giant enterprise like PVR can afford to be so callous and irresponsible. Can someone please tell me what to do about this? Who do I take this up with?

Gift card reedemed but session expired
Importance: High
I was trying to book my tickets online for Harry potter on 22nd Nov 2010. I had selected 2 seats and I was in the process of making the payment. The total amount was Rs 540. I did get a prompt saying I can make a payment of 500(available balance in my gift card) and the rest of the payment can be done using another mode of payment. First, I made a payment of Rs500 using my Gift card, then I tried to select debit card and then got a message “ Session expired”. I did not get my tickets neither I got a confirmation. Any help please?

A website developed for financial transcations should not be so BAD.. Functionality of the PVR website is a money loss to the public...

I tried to book 3 tickets today (14.12.2010:9.20am) at the website for the movie "The Social Network", at PVR Skywalk, Chennai for 1:15 pm show. I took the option of Axis Bank Net Banking, and completed my payment transaction. At the end of payment you are told the transaction is not completed and the money will be refunded.

But you get no response from the email id of the pvr support. And I am still waiting for the money refund. What are the option available? Can somebody help in this regard.

No phone numbers are ever displayed on the website. Acknowledgement of failed transaction are never sent on the email id and mobile nos collected on the form while booking.

Hi Avenues India Team,

This was regarding an issue with respect to a booking done on 14/10/2010 by me for the malayalam movie "Pranchiyettan" for the 15/10/2010 09:25 PM show for two persons.

My first booking attempt was not successful but an amount of 480 rupees had been debited from my HDFC debit account as the booking session had got expired and I was able to the following message on the screen .(similar wording -from my memory)

"Booking session expired.If your money had debited from your account it will be refunded"

After that I had tried for another booking for the same show for two persons and that booking was successful .(480 rupees debited for this booking also).

I haven't got the 480 ruppes refunded to my account yet for the failed booking due to session expiration.This amount was debited from my bank account.

Please see the following excerpts from my bank stattement.

I had booked tickets for the movie Maleyali Joteyali at PVR Koramangla, Bangalore. The show date was 27/12/2009. This was done online through my citibank credit card. The amount for the booking was 780.00 rs. But, it so happened that this transaction was charged twice on the card. I had given a writen complaint at PVR Kormangala regarding charging me twice for one booking and I was told that the amount will be creadited in 3 days. I had given the complaint on 31st December... But later I noticed that PVR team without my knowledge has debit the amount from my credit card on 13th January and credited it back again than crediting that amount that was taken from my card on 24th December. I went in person to PVR almost 8 times but even then they have not paid the amount. Every time they ask me to fill some form and say that money will be returned in few days. Complaint Number is Bad Transaction Refund PVR:[protected]. Its maily about trust sir. we use our cards thinking it wont be misused that too by such a huge organization like PVR. Can you please help us in this regard. I have all the mail conversations with PVR and credit card statement if you need them.

I booked my tickets from on Aug 4, 2010 at PVR Cinemas website (Net Banking) for Peepli Live. However, the tickets could not be booked due to some error despite acount getting debited from my account.

The portal displayed message "Ticket Could not be booked"

My reference number is:[protected]/PVR Movie Tickets/IND-B

Please process my refund.

Regards,
Vikram Gupta
