| As of now only BPL and Airtel mobile phone subscribers
can use this facility by sending an SMS to 3867.
Fun Republic’s Head - Web, Anuj Mehta said, “Our wireless
booking service enables the integration with our existing Cinema-Ticketing
solution. As a result, customers not only get the confirmation code,
but the actual seat numbers. Fun Republic is the first multiplex
to provide such information through online wireless means. As the
solution is real time, chances of error are totally eliminated.
It is India’s first real-time SMS cinema ticket booking facility.”
Customers can book tickets in advance and are required to turn
up at Fun Republic’s booking counter 45 minutes before the
start of show, after which they will be cancelled, Anuj added.
GurukulOnline CEO Shailesh Mehta said, “The wireless technology
solution we have developed for Fun Republic is extremely user-friendly.
It enables not only ticket bookings, but also cancellations, supply
of information about movies and special schemes applicable from
time to time.”
Though this service can presently be used only through BPL and
Airtel services, GurukulOnline is in the process of tying up with
other mobile phone service providers, Anuj said.
Fun Republic will soon launch contests through the mobile phone
network developed by GurukulOnline, and winners will be entitled
to a lot of exciting gifts like free tickets, combo vouchers etc
at Fun Republic.
