Cc for single movie ticket

Hi

Some times I go with family and sometimes alone
I saw so many cc r there for more than 2 movie tickets
But didn't find any cc for 1 ticket. So
Which cc is giving 100% off( free ) on single movie ticket

Thank you
 
HDFC TIMES Platinum lets you buy up to 4 50% discounted single tickets a month up to a total of Rs 600.
So, you can buy watch 4 movies with Rs 300 tickets at Rs 150 or 2 movies with Rs 600 tickets at Rs 300 in a month.

The card does not seem to be issued anymore. It also costs Rs 1000 per year + GST. Do not even think about asking for it LTF whatever be your HDFC portfolio.

A similar question in a rival forum 🙂 -
 
Is the limit >1.5L? if yes then contact him @RS1910, I am not guarantying anything but he has helped procuring LTF Eazydiner. Check LTF eazydiner posting
Did you get this confirmation via email from bank? I also have ltf applied thru the same guy last yr. but didn’t ask the bank to give confirmation on email.
 
Were you able to find any good cards?

I could only find ones that either give BOGO, or 25% upto ₹100 on a single ticket, or we have to spend certain amount every month.

I could go with 25% discount ones. But that means I will get the maximum ₹100 discount only if I buy a ₹400 ticket. Which means I still need to pay ₹300. While most tickets usually cost ₹200-250. So, I am getting only ₹50-60 discount. Something like 50% discount upto ₹100 would've been better.

Use any BOGO offer. Reach atleast 30mins earlier from movie time and sell the ticket at half price to the person standing in the queue.
You'll get 50% discount.
You'll need to do a little hard work but slowly you'll gain experience and can even expand your horizons and start your own business of selling tickets in black.

In theory that sounds ideal but in practical that is awful in so many ways -
- It also requires you to approach strangers which is inherently awkward and nowadays can be taken in all the wrong ways. If you are a female trying to pawn off an extra ticket then God help prevent unsolicited advances!
- Also, anyone in their right minds will ask "What's in it for me?" if you asking them to buy a ticket from you instead of the ticket window. Remember that you have paid BMS/PayTM 10% + GST (i.e. 11.18%) on top of the ticket price whereas the person buying at the ticket window will not have to bear that 11.18%. So, you will need to absorb that and give another 5-10% to the stranger for her/him to buy it from you. So, your savings are now under 30% now at best.
- Most importantly, very few people watch movies alone (I'm one of them!) in a theatre. So, the person buying also needs to be alone because they can't buy one ticket from you and hope to get the side-seat from the ticket window.

@Prithi I have a TIMES Platinum that gives 50% OFF even on single tickets (technically it is less than 39% since you pay BMS the overhead) but often it will say "Quota limit exceeded" even when there are no blockbusters running. So, cards aren't the best solution. I have figured 2 alternatives that give decent returns but these are theatre-chain specific -
a) Cinepolis has a 25% OFF code for the past few months on their website even for single tickets. Plus they credit 10% of the ticket cost as Cinepolis points which can be redeemed on future bookings.
b) PVR vouchers can be bought 20% OFF on Amazon. I don't know if you can use Amazon Voucher balance to pay for them but if you can then there is scope for double-dipping. PVR vouchers are there on Gyftr / Woohoo as well. You need to be careful with the T&C because some are single use vouchers (don't buy a Rs 1000 voucher for a Rs 250 movie ticket!) and some can't be used on INOX screens. A bit of trial and error will help you figure out what works and doesn't.

You will not find anyone buying a single ticket.
