BookMyShow moves up the live-events chain
BookMyShow, which built its business as the digital ticket counter for the entertainment economy, is now moving deeper into the segment behind the ticket — investing in concert infrastructure, venues, intellectual property (IP), production capabilities and event properties — as live entertainment gains currency in the country.
The shift is visible in the financials of Big Tree Entertainment, the parent of BookMyShow. Its live-events revenue rose from Rs 237.5 crore in FY23 to Rs 455 crore in FY24 and Rs 756 crore in FY25 — more than tripling in two years and just about Rs 72 crore short of its Rs 828-crore online-ticketing revenue.
