The firm is present in over 650 towns and cities in India and works with partners across the industry to provide unmatched entertainment experiences to millions of customers.

Some of the key properties that BookMyShow has brought to its markets include U2's The Joshua Tree Tour, NBA's debut games in India, Disney's Aladdin, Cirque du Soleil BAZZAR as well as international artists such as Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, and Justin Bieber. BookMyShow is invested in providing the best user experience, whether on-ground or online.
