We are just a week away from the season’s most-awaited release Ek Tha Tiger. Since Ek Tha Tiger is considered as the year’s Blockbuster release, viewers are leaving no stone unturned to grab the first day, first show ticket of the film. Reports say that the websites had started pre-booking shows a month before the film’s release. But, the bad news is that most multiplexes have decided to increase the ticket prices by 12-16 percent.


The prime reason behind the price hike is because Ek Tha Tiger is scheduled for Eid release on August 15, 2012. Pricing tickets higher for certain films or during special occasions is very common, hence the same goes for Salman’s Ek Tha Tiger.

Sources inform a leading daily that the price of the ticket will rise by about Rs 20. The price hike will however, not be the same in every theatre. Reports say that places where there is more than one multiplex, will see a 12 percent hike in ticket price. On the other hand, most single screens have decided to maintain the ticket prices.
