BookMyShow Complaints & Reviews

Booking ID : BOOKING ID : MCAS000003B7UU

I have booked my tickets through book and i haven't received any tickets from book my show .

I have called book my show 20 times but they are just saying delivered but it is not actually delivered .

I have paid 6500 Rs.

Please help

We had paid Rs. 3,000/- to book an International Music Concert scheduled to be held at Noida on 14th Feb, 2013. The show subsequently got cancelled. But, money was never refunded. After much correspondence the company is maintaining that the money was refunded directly to my account, which is a blatant lie. They are refusing to provide any valid online (bank-recognised) tracking details in support of their claim that refund has been effected. On the contrary, they are insisting that this money has been refunded and that the case is now closed. They have stopped taking our phone calls and refuse to address the complaint. Is there any way we can bring them to book and publicise their cheating ways?

Hi, This is ABHISHEK ROY. I am a salaried professional working in Tata Consultancy Services. I am an honest and law-abiding citizen of this country. My address is 1/40 SAHID NAGAR, DHAKURIA, KOLKATA-700031 and my cell number is [protected].

On 21st April, 2013, I bought 2 tickets for the 5:30 PM show of Hindi movie Ek Thi Dayan worth INR 549.44 at INOX Forum Mall (Elgin Rd, Kolkata) using BookMyShow iphone application from my personal number [protected]. I made the payment through HDFC netbanking. This transaction was made between 4:20 PM - 4:30 PM. Screenshot of the same is attached.

Booking history of the BookMyShow iphone application showed the seat numbers booked GL - Q-16, Q-17. But the booking ID was missing. I also did not received any SMS in my personal number about confirmation of the booking.

Since I was travelling to watch the movie, I did not get any chance to call up the helpline number to inform about the missing booking ID or that I did not receive SMS confirmation of my booking. I also did not felt that necessary as the booking history mentioned ticket numbers (GL - Q-16, Q-17) provided above.

I produced the booking history through BookMyShow iphone application and payment through HDFC netbanking application to collect the tickets at the INOX Forum Mall ticket counter but they refused to issue me tickets as my booking history didnt showed booking ID.

Hence, I had to buy 2 tickets for the 5:30 PM show of Hindi movie Ek Thi Dayan worth INR 500 at INOX Forum Mall (Elgin Rd, Kolkata) again.
This time I paid with my VISA credit card and I got the tickets (GL, Q-14, Q-15) from the counter. Screenshot of the same is also attached.

I also noticed that the seats which showed in my booking ID (GL - Q-16, Q-17) for which I was refused being issued tickets at the INOX Forum counter, were also occupied in the theatre.

Thus, I end up paying the price of 4 tickets INR 1049.44 (549.44 through HDFC netbanking for transaction through BookMyShow iphone application + 500 through Visa Credit Card at INOX Forum Counter) and watched for 2 tickets.

Yesterday morning, when I checked my email, I could see the booking id in the booking confirmation mail that was sent after yesterday's transaction through BookMyShow iphone application.

Since, this has happened due to problem with BookMyShow iphone application not generating Booking ID and not sending SMS confirmation against my booking in my personal number, I had requested BookMySHow to please refund me the price of 2 tickets INR 549.44 that was charged to me through BookMyShow iphone application.

I then called up BookMyShow helpline number and explained the entire incident. But they replied that they will not be able to help me on this.

Please request you to investigate this and bring this to closure. Hope this will be resolved at the earliest.

Thanking You,
Yours faithfully,
Abhishek Roy

Hi,

I am Vinayak Chanshetti (cell no [protected]). I booked 3 tickets for Special 26' using BookMyShow.com for Fun time Multiplex, Pune, for 4:15PM show for date 11th Feb 2013 using Axis Bank net banking
After selecting seats and entering my account details, bookmyshow website displayed some message like 'processing...' and after some time, it displayed, 'oops, an error occurred'.
But an amount of Rs 501.55 was debited from my account. This transaction was done at around 12:22PM on 11th Feb 2013.
I waited for around 20-25 minutes, but i didn't receive any sms or e-mail from book my show for confirmation of tickets but i did receive sms from citibank for deduction of money.

Now, After 20 minutes .i.e. at around 12:49PM (15th Aug), i again tried to book some other 3 tickets and i received sms and mail from book my show this time.

So, basically money for my 1st transaction should be refunded bookmyshow as it didn't handle the transaction properly and deducted amount without booking the seats.

I contacted the on-line customer care executives also but they also just say that we will contact you as soon as possible but then there is no reply/respose.

I request a refund of Rs 501.55/- from bookmyshow.

Transaction Details are:
11/02/2013 ICONN/65726414/100213/PAYU.IN 501.55

Hi,

I was issued wrong tickets by bookmyshow.com for the skyfall movie for the IMAX theatre, hyderabad and after I complained, they are in a state of denial.
Even after my repeated calls and emails, they are least interested to solve the problem.

Is there anyone to listen to aggrieved customer ?

Thanks
Hironmay Basu

I tried to book concert tickets through their portal and despite three failed attempts, i wasnt able to.. I then checked with my credit card company and it turns out they have debited the amount the next day

I immediately asked them to cancel the ticket, but they refused and asked me to sell it at the venue. I didnt go for the event thinking that the money will be reversed to my account. None of this was to happen

I asked them atleast to give me some store credit, which they also refuse. They are sending me very curt replies to my emails and i am hating the way they are treating me as a customer. I didnt go for the event, so i expect a full refund considering its a mistake with their system

They are not even ready to give me a proper treatment or a store credit kind of alternative arrangement, leave alone the full refund

I will never ever book tickets from BOOK MY SHOW. I have booked so many tickets in the past and this incident has diminished my faith in the company

Bookmyshow.com charged me twice on my booking on 17-Sep-2012 for the movie Barfi! (booked through Standard Chartered Credit Card) While the amount was charged from my card but the ticket was not booked.
On contacting Bookmyshow customercare twice in 2 weeks after booking, i was assured that i would get a refund in less than 21 days. Its one complete month but I am yet to receive a single penny.

I request action be taken for the pathetic service of refund technology that the company maintains.

On September 15th 2012, we tried booking three movie tickets through bookmyshow for the movie Burfi in Everest Theatre, Bangalore. The tickets weren't booked but the money got debited from my account. Even after several calls to the customer care and dropping mails, the issue hasn't been resolved. It is sheer negligence on the part of bookmyshow and an absolute displeasure to follow up on a case where the mistake is not even our's. I am also forwarding a e-mail alert from my bank for the amount debited. I am also not going to recommend bookmyshow to anyone in future. The first time also happens to be the last time and the experience has been more than horrible. The executive at the customer care was thoroughly unprofessional and impatient. They keep telling me the money will be credited in 15 days but I guess bookmyshow doesn't follow a universal calender. I have decided to take this up and sue them for this inconvenience. A big scam!

My Name is Sindhu Francis, My Cell number is +91-[protected].

I booked 3 tickets for Barfi movie on 20th September'12 using Bookmyshow Portal. Show timing was 4:00 PM, but on 20th Sept as it was Bharat Bhand the shows were cancelled. I spoke to the Manager Mr. Pankanj Rathod (Business Head, Cinemax, Gandhinagar) & he confirmed that the money will be refunded within 4-5 working days. I used HDFC credit Card to book ticket.

Now its 15 days & still i have not received the refund of the same.

Kindly help me to get my refund money.

Hi,

I am Sharad Sharma (cell no [protected]). I booked 3 tickets for 'Gangs of Wasseypur-2' using BookMyShow.com for Spice cinema, Noida, for 4:00PM show for date 15th Aug 2012 using my citibank credit card
After selecting seats and entering my credit card details, bookmyshow website displayed some message like 'processing...' and after some time, it displayed, 'oops, an error occurred'.
But an amount of Rs 633.72 was debited from my credit card. This transaction was done at around 1:22PM on 15th Aug 2012.
I waited for around 20-25 minutes, but i didn't receive any sms or e-mail from book my show for confirmation of tickets but i did receive sms from citibank for deduction of money.

Now, After 25 minutes .i.e. at around 1:49PM (15th Aug), i again tried to book some other 3 tickets and i received sms and mail from book my show this time.

So, basically money for my 1st transaction should be refunded bookmyshow as it didn't handle the transaction properly and deducted amount without booking the seats.

I contacted the customer care on same day and they asked me to send an e-mail to [protected]@bookmyshow.com. So, i formally sent email to them for which i received reply stating 'they will get back to me after investigation' and gave me Incident No:[protected]. but after that i have not received any response whatsoever from there side in last 30 days or so.
I have sent them e-mails repeatedly but there is no response/reply. I contacted there on-line customer care executives also but they also just say that we will contact you as soon as possible but then there is no reply/respose.

SO BOOKMYSHOW has not only taken my money of amount Rs 633.72/- but they have caused me mental tensions as well. Just imagine how much problems they have caused me for ignoring me and for not replying.
I request a refund of Rs 633.72/- from bookmyshow and would also request Consumer court to impose some heavy fine on bookmyshow for playing not only with people's money but also for not giving due attention to there customer even when they took all money in advance.
I don't want any extra money, i just want my Rs 633.72/- but i want bookmyshow should be taught a lesson so that they dont do same thing with other citizens of India and so that they can always remember that someone is there who is watching there wrong ways of working.

This regarding the issue of the tickets which I had tried to book for 10.45AM show but due to bookmyshow's technical issue I get the 10:45PM tickets booked. I discussed with the manager of wave cinema, Lucknow for my problem and he asked me to return the ticket at the ticket counter and assured me to give the money back once the tickets have been sold to other person who wants 10.45PM show on same day.

1 day later I went there to take my money back. On the ticket counter, the executive asked that manager is on leave so she asked to come later for taking ticket money back. She informed that my tickets have been sold and manager will call me on my cell number.
But 10 days have been passed no call I received.

Can you please help me regarding this. My bookingid was : WVLK[protected] (DATE 15 july,2012) (Movie - "Bol Bachchan")

Dear Sir/Madam,

I bought IPL tickets for match in Delhi more than 2 weeks prior to the match with home delivery option. I was expecting the tickets would reach on time. After a week’s time, when I noticed that I have not received the tickets, I started following up with customer care. It was shocking to note that there was no response at all from them. After 3 reminders (just 3days before the match), they mentioned that tickets have been dispatched and also provided tracking number.
Now the fraud began, according to courier company, the person visited my place thrice but house was locked. I was shocked to note that all the 3 timings specified by the courier company, I was personally available at home. Also in general someone is always available at home. And according to bookmyshow as no one was available, tickets have been returned.

I have asked following questions from bookmyshow which they fail to answer
1. Why didn’t courier company called me up, even if this was the case. They had my complete details
2. Why were the tickets dispatched only 2 days before the match.
3. Obviously, I did mention that it’s not possible that house was locked as I was available.


Even after writing more than a dozen email & calling customer care multiple times, even talking to live help, I am neither able to get the tickets nor a refund.

I had booked tickets for an IPL match in Pune through BookMyShow online as there were no other Retail outlets available for the PWI tikcets. I had booked 8 tickets in one shot around 20 days before the match.
Booking ID : IPPW[protected]
Date : Tue, 27 Mar, 2012 Time Stamp : 5:43pm

They had charged the delivery charges as well as convenience charges. However in the name of convenience I had to collect the tickets just a day before the match from their Deccan Gymkhana office in person. Hence no delivery, and no support infact arrogance that "Its your ticket, either you collect it or leave it".

So everyone beware of booking many tickets at the same time. They have done this to many. They profit on the convenience charges and finally its the biggest inconvenience.

Never book tickets from BOOKMYSHOW this is no.1 Fraud company.
1.They collect money for home dilevary but they not dispatching any tickets.
2.When u call for ticket states they will say u will gate tickets on XYZ DATE.
3.No.1 poor customer care when u inquire about tickets on XYZ DATE they will say there is no service area u can collect from counter.
In this process u will loose ur mobile balance for contacting customer care but problem is not resolve.

This is happened with me i lost more than 200 rupees for contacting customer care,but still i am waiting for tickets.

FRAUDDDDDDDDDD company BOOKMYSHOW......

Contact me this no. [protected] this is not a feck review.
