Pathetic customer service

Every time you are making us to wait for more than 30 mints on hold to get connected with your representative

SCAM. THEY STOLE MY MONEY. DO NOT TRUST THIS APP

They took my payment and gave me an error that said “Payment successful but Booking Failed.” Then refunded the money to BMS cash. It was a huge payment, I had clubbed it with bank discounts, so they refunded what I paid in BMS cash. Then when I tried to do the booking and use BMS cash, I had to pay MORE than my initial price because surprise surprise, BMS cash can’t be clubbed with any discounts and this is the way they scam people out of their money. Check their reviews, a lot of people have faced this issue. They usually do this to people after 2-5 bookings but no one is safe. Do not trust the positive reviews, it WILL happen to you too.

Doesn’t have proper customer handling

I used the service to book 3 tickets for a movie show Sui Dhaga and on the way my phone battery died and there was no way to retrieve the tickets. Even theatre management didn’t have a way to trace our booking were asking to call customer service for help finally after 45 mins, manager try to intervene and use first and last letters of email with which he said he would allow. After all this we had to walk away as almost half of the movie was over and there was no proper handling of the situation. We tried to reach customer service to our dismay there was a long queue of calls to wait hence I wrote to them about the incident hoping that they would resolve but there hasn’t been any response Even though this is a convenient way of booking - but now that they have grown this big there should be a way to handle simple situation like ours.

Design Flaw, Wrong Promotion and Poorest Resolution

While booking music concert in Bangalore, I was shown a music concert from a Jaipur location. This was ridiculous. In hurry, I thought it was a mistake from BookMyshow and booked it. Only later when I was planning my commute I got to know that this was intentionally placed to promote event from other city. How is a customer wrong on this issue? I was not shown any warning stating that "my search results will not meet my stated criteria". Their customer feedback team got feedback but declined taking an action to refund Rs 3000 spent on this. What I see is an intent issue to solve customer issue and then after repeated emails team stopped responding. Today was my last day to use BookMyShow and I’ve to moved to Paytm, EventsHigh for booking tickets from here. Recommend other to move to other apps. Once you face issue, BMS hands will be tied and they will decline helping you.

Card offers are always unavailable

Card offers are selectable but when it is selected and details entered, it always says that the offer limit is reached. There is some unethical stuff going on in the backend to avoid customers availing their card offers. The customer support staff do not respond promptly either. After 1 month when someone eventually get back to you, they give some lame reason abt system issue or try again later and the issue persists.

Bad Customer Service

I would now directly contact the theatre and not support this app. Would also encourage all my friends and family to do it. They just charge you exorbitant costs for ‘customer service’ which they deny to provide. They didn’t cancel my transaction less than five minutes after making the booking because of their ‘policy’!! I had a family emergency and cannot make it for some reason. They won’t acknowledge it. unhappy customer...

Still a crap after 5 versions!

Get a UI-UX designer and understand how people browse for movies. The location feature doesn’t show the precise area. There is no ‘Search’ button on the map. The map stupidly shows just the theaters which fall under the nearest city auto-selected. Such a pain to use this app on iOS. I’ll prefer walking to the theater and booking my tickets than using this level of poor online service.

BMS Hack ..?

I’ll be honest… I think I’ve last booked using BMS only in 2016. I only use BMS to view the show times and go to the theatre to buy tickets 😏

Have to keep putting in the personal information repeatedly

Even if you put in your address if you go back or so, you have to type in all your information again. That’s ridiculous if you have to put in your information again and again in case you need to go back or so.

Redesign leads to wrong bookings

The current incarnation makes it way too easy to book a movie for the wrong date. You now have to work much harder to avoid the trap of booking for today when you want tickets for some other date. Customer Service is also super unhelpful; they wont correct the booking or refund you, so you have to pay twice if you make a mistake.

One of the worst app to use

Useless app tried 4 times 3 times money got debited and they will refund in 7 to 10 days . Why the yell u need 19 days to refuse d my money . Will u give me the ticket and collect money after 10 days . Worst of worst app nit even sure if the payment gateway is secured with back to back failure . App Store should remove the app

Payment options/offers

Your payment gateway doesn’t accept international credit cards! It’s a global world. Grow up! Even after using a domestic card, payment doesn’t go through it an offer is selected but goes through when a card with no discount offer is used! BIG FAIL, BookMyShow!

Can be better!

More offers should be available to be redeemed. Convenience charges are too high.

It’s a good movie. Don’t understand y many are making it unpopular. It’s such a nice movie by Puri Jagannath and greatt acting by Vijay Devarakonda.

Pathetic app in this tech age

The app is not stable. Gets hung up often. The features are not very well designed. For one example, If you purchase a ticket without logging in, which they still allow, you wont be able to add the purchase later to your account after logging in. Needs lot of improvements.

Why is the app not working?

Stop changing the date, there are late night shows available but why does the app automatically change the date? It is stupid and annoying.

Crashes iphone. Very poor app. Unreliable.

This app is really badly made. Do not install or use book my show. It makes my iPhone hang/ freeze and crash repeatedly. From the time i have installed this app it has made my phone battery reduce drastically. AVOID this APP.

No back gesture recogniser

The year is 2022 and BMS app still doesn’t have the swipe to back navigation functionality. I think they don’t even care anymore as long as they get their booking charges money.

Poor app

I have been using this app since very long time and I don’t know if these offers by BMS exist also or not? Also this current version doesn’t support iPhone X as on 6th of April 2018. It was very difficult for me to select payment option!!

Not user friendly

We downloaded this app and tried to use it, but we couldn’t make it find that we do NOT live in Srinagar, but in the United States. We are very unhappy with it.

Bookmyshow’s team is Irresponsible

I booked ticket for badshaah music concert. It was postponed by the organizer. Now bookmyshow is not refunding the ₹2000 that I paid for 2 tickets. It is already over 1 month.
