Movie Cinema Ticket Slip

Simulate customized cinema movie tickets with theater screen metrics.

100% client-side. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored on a server.

Community screenings, college film festivals, private-hall bookings, corporate movie nights, and birthday parties at a home theatre all need a ticket that looks and feels like the real thing: film title, screen, row and seat, showtime, price, and a tear-off stub. This tool designs a cinema-style ticket slip for your own event, with numbered seats, a decorative barcode or a real QR for entry, and exports it as PNG or a print-ready PDF sheet. It is a template for events you organise — it does not connect to any cinema chain's booking system and must not be used to imitate a real cinema's tickets.

Who uses it

  • Film clubs and college fests running licensed screenings.
  • Housing societies and schools hosting movie nights in the clubhouse.
  • Cafés and micro-theatres that rent a private screen by the show.
  • Marketing teams making "premiere" invitations for product launches.
  • Teachers and designers who need a realistic ticket for a lesson or a mockup.

Screening rights: the part people forget

Showing a film to the public — even free, even in a society clubhouse — requires a public performance licence from the rights holder or a licensing body; home-viewing DVDs and streaming subscriptions cover private use only. Ticketed shows also come under state entertainment rules, and if you sell tickets you are supplying a service: admission to entertainment events is taxed at 18% GST when the ticket price exceeds ₹100 (5% up to ₹100 for cinema tickets under the current schedule). Sales above the registration threshold need GST registration; see the GST calculator for inclusive pricing and the GST invoice generator for group bookings by companies.

How to use the designer

  1. Pick a layout — classic stub, modern strip, or a two-per-row A4 sheet for bulk printing.
  2. Enter the event or film title, venue, screen or hall, date, showtime and rating (U/UA/A if applicable).
  3. Set the seat scheme — rows A–Z and seat numbers — and the price. Batch mode generates a numbered run (e.g. A1–A20) in one PDF.
  4. Choose a decorative barcode or a real QR that encodes the ticket number for scanning at the door with the barcode & QR scanner.
  5. Add your logo and terms ("No re-entry", "Doors close 10 min after showtime"), then download.

Practical tips

  • Print on 250 gsm card and use a perforation between the ticket and the stub so ushers can tear it cleanly.
  • If you use the real QR option, keep a simple list of issued ticket numbers; scan and tick off at the door to stop duplicates.
  • For paid events, issue a payment receipt for bulk buyers and keep the ticket count for the GST return.
  • Announce the show with a poster made from the same colour theme and share via the social media post generator.
  • Collect feedback after the show with a QR to a form, generated with the URL QR generator.

If the screening is a paid event, the registration and invoicing basics are in GST registration online in 2026 and the document choice in Invoice vs bill vs receipt vs quotation.

Frequently asked questions

Can I create tickets that look like PVR or INOX tickets?

No. The tool is for your own events and branding. Reproducing a cinema chain's name, logo or ticket format is counterfeiting.

Do I need a licence to screen a film for my society?

Yes. Public screenings — including non-commercial ones — require a public performance licence from the rights holder or an authorised licensing body. Streaming subscriptions do not cover public exhibition.

Is GST charged on event tickets?

Admission to entertainment events above ₹100 per ticket is taxed at 18%; you must register once your turnover crosses the threshold. Free events have no GST.

Does the barcode work with scanners?

The decorative barcode does not. Choose the real QR option, which encodes the ticket number and can be scanned at the door with any QR scanner.

Can I number the seats automatically?

Yes. Batch mode generates a numbered run of tickets for the rows and seats you specify, laid out on A4 sheets for printing.
