BookMyShow gift card and vouchers: how to buy, apply and gift them

The voucher is applied on BookMyShow's payment page, so it covers what you book on the platform rather than at a cinema's own counter. Gift card sellers describe it as working across BookMyShow's categories, including movies and live events. If the booking costs more than the voucher, you pay the difference with UPI, a card or net banking.

Validity is printed with each voucher and differs between batches, so check the date when you receive it and plan the booking well before it.

The voucher goes in after you choose seats, on the payment step.

A gift voucher code is prepaid value: someone paid for it, and it pays for your tickets. An offer is a discount BookMyShow or a partner bank runs on certain bookings. Those offers still apply alongside your booking according to their own rules, and you'll see them listed on the payment page.

Searches for a "BookMyShow gift voucher code" often lead to coupon sites that recycle expired codes or try to collect your details. Real gift voucher codes are only ever sold, gifted or issued by BookMyShow and its gift card partners, which is why buying one at a discount is the reliable way to pay less.

A pair of movie tickets and a concert ticket sit at very different prices, so size the voucher to the plan. For regular movie-goers, a few smaller vouchers are easier to use up. For a concert, a match or a festival pass, a larger voucher or two smaller ones combined with your own payment makes more sense.

The chart shows what the top BookMyShow discount listed on Subspace today saves at different booking sizes. If the person you're gifting lives near a PVR and mostly watches films there, a PVR voucher usually carries a bigger discount, but it only works at PVR screens.
