The business model used by a mobile app like BookMyShow

Thorough knowledge of the entire business model is essential before diving deep into the sea of development. It will not only will help you in knowing the nuances of the business but will you give you a fair idea about what your target audience would be in future.

Compact advertising

Even though the online ticket booking genre is one of the popular genres currently, the total number of organic traffic will not necessarily guarantee booked tickets, thus, the business organization must have a concrete and compact advertising model, which must change according to the times and audience requirements.

Commission from customers

The online ticket booking app can also charge a commission from the customers for every transaction they do through the app. This method is more prevalent in the Indian market than the market abroad as movie theaters here have higher negotiating skills.

Revenue from event management

Apart from online selling of tickets for movies and other shows, the ticket booking app can also become a platform to provide event management services. It can be done by partnering with several large or medium scale online or offline events related to different genres apart from entertainment like sports, education, etc. The ticket booking app can sell the other events’ tickets on a fixed price basis.
