After seeing heavy advertisement on CNBC -TV18 i finally decided to pay a little visit to this site Bookmyshow.com. The site as my suspicion goes was another Tv18 property. But unlike their other properties out of Web18 stable it was in form of strategic investment made in Bigtree entertainment which has been around for some time with their portal movietell.co.in which was earlier reviewed on this blog.
Bookmyshow.com unlike its predecessor in movietell.co.in has a more cleaner interface,easy to use,bug free(supports Firefox) and give you all details on seats available to pricing without any hassle for registration. This site is a clear model of business meets web 2.0 as we can see how the site aggregate content from other Tv-18 properties like buzz18.com and works on established business model of selling services associated with it.
After using this site once i have already informed 50 odd people which face lot of trouble with PVR Cinemas website over the weekend and have been recieving positive response ever since. The 15% discount being offered is an added bonus and makes buying ticket online more attractive.
In past i have been a big critic of bigtree entertainment and their effort with movietell.co.in but with Bookmyshow.com i cant say about the rest of blogging community but they surely have silenced me!!!!!
Job well done!!!!!

I agree, fantastic ticket booking experience!
if you want to build a website, you have to make sure it works in every browser. right now i cant book anything using firefox. really pathetic.
I am not surprised to see such a development happening in the Indian e-commerce space. But you need to understand the first step to achieving complete e-commerce coverage for a service like bookmyshow.com is by providing this service to the players(read theaters) having the infrastructure in place.
That is the fairly simple task, but, the real challenge is when you have to address issues of the theaters not having any infrastructure is place.
So for starters, I see this as a positive sign and we should appreciate the effort of TV18 and bookmyshow.com.
I believe that the success of any Dot Com is 5% technology and 95% publicity (it could be in anyways). If we get into the technical intricacies of a site like bookmyshow.com, I would say it is far more complex to develop and maintain than any web ticket booking site.
Without a doubt a site like bookmyshow.com would require high volumes & advertisements to achieve the break-even and be a profit making venture.
read my experience @ http://jishnusdiary.blogspot.com/2008/01/bookmyshow-and-free-ticket.html not so great 😦

I was wondering if any of you knew which payment gateway bookmyshow has been using. Its a very clean interface and I am looking out for a online payment provider who lets me integrate the payment options into my site securely and seamlessly like that of bookmyshow. Hope someone knows.
Book my move tiket
hey jessgeojose, the gateway they use is paymate.
i know cos i just called them today as i had a problem redeeming a gift voucher on bookmyshow.com
unfortunately, altho bookmyshow has always been a fantastic experience for me, the paymate ppl were simply too frustrating for words! i was on the phone for almost an HOUR trying to first reach them and then to make them understand what had gone wrong with the online transaction (my comp hung midway). needless to say, i have given up all hopes of ever redeeming that gift voucher 😦

無実の罪で死刑が決定した兄リンカーン・バローズを救うために、弟マイケル・スコフィールドが意図的に刑務所に入り、兄と脱獄をする展開です。…が、脱獄した後のストーリーがまた傑作で、いつもハラハラさせられるので時間を忘れて観ていても飽きませんよ。
ストーリーは１～４までありますが、脱獄までを描いたシーズン１、敏腕捜査官のマホーンからの逃走を描いたシーズン２が傑作です。見てほしい点は盛り沢山ですが、やはり登場人物の個性が目を引きます。そして、いきなり重要人物が死んだりするので、ハラハラします。
特にセオドア、通称T-Bag。彼はもう、役者さんが最高すぎます。間違いなく彼が演じていなければ、ここまで印象に残る登場人物にはならなかったはず。役柄は子供たちをレイプ殺人したという最も嫌われる凶悪犯ですが、どこか憎めず、シーズン１からシーズン４の最終話まで最後まで出演している数少ない一人です。
