Made in IndiaFreeBookMyShow's per-ticket convenience fee is non-refundable — even when the event is cancelled — and is only shown at the checkout screen. Cinema tickets can be cancelled at many (not all) screens 20 minutes to 4 hours before showtime, refunding 50-75% of the base ticket price but never the fee. India's largest ticketing platform, run by Mumbai-based Bigtree Entertainment; District, by Eternal (Zomato), is now its first real rival.
