Remember the kind of excitement there is every time a Khan film releases in India. Yes, every Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan release in India enjoys the kind of buzz that makes people reach out to movie ticket booking sites for advance bookings. Most of these are also festive releases and hence the need for pre-booking is usually high. The same kind of excitement is currently gripping the metros owing to the upcoming release of Avengers: Endgame. The film marks the end of the Avengers franchise which has over the years built a huge fan base in India. The film is now all set to release on April 26 and less than a week prior to its release now, the film's advance bookings have commenced in India.

The popular movie ticketing site, BookmyShow has begun the advance booking for the film's English and Hindi language shows and the response already looks quite high. To enjoy the movie spoiler-free, Marvel fans are rushing to book to their tickets soon. What's interesting is that Aamir Khan's Diwali 2018 release, Thugs Of Hindostan's prices at premium multiplexes began from Rs 400 to Rs 1,500 and Avengers: Endgame has now beaten that. The highest tickets of Avengers: Endgame are being sold at Rs 2200 in Delhi's Saket District Centre PVR which happens to be for those who wish to have a luxurious watch consisting of limited seating.

In India, as the advance bookings have begun today, we can't help but notice the spike in the ticket rates especially for a late-night show for the film's 3D version. The film has approximately 12-13 shows running in a day at the multiplexes. While the lowest a person will shell out for the Avengers finale for a 3D watch is around Rs. 250, if you seek a comfortable seating, the prices get steeper.
For a Sunday watch, a person in Mumbai/Delhi will end up spending up to Rs 500 per ticket of the film for an evening/late night show. Of course, this is if you're looking at seats in the middle rows. For those wanting to enjoy Avengers: Endgame in recliners, the film's ticket is almost at the same price as enjoying a dinner at a regular cafe/restaurant, costing around Rs 1500-2000 per person.
We suggest you stock up on all the knowledge you can get on those cashback offers and promo codes before booking your tickets if you still haven't. Avengers: Endgame with its runtime of 3 hours and 2 minutes is also the longest films in the franchise. The film is also releasing in Tamil and Telugu languages in India.
