    WEB/DIGITAL 
    yeah...good points. I know this can take off even with internet marketing because its MMS (and a slightly new thing) and some of the girls and guys i talked to loved it. I'm going to bookmark this and let you and others know of my progress. In 3 hrs i'm going down to a little more survey...

    Mate, thanks for the advice. You've really opened my eyes about some things i neglected. The only concern i will have till the day i might get lucky and get the cinema's green light is: they so easily do it themselves. And one thing i found out: In Australia, there was an independent who...

    Given how MMS will really the future of ticketing and seems to be popular with the young generation from my survey, i think it could fly. I mean currently the monthly search number for 'cinema' is 55 millions and 12 million in australia/new zealand. I need access to their central servers to...

    I'm trying to do what Wotif has done, only that my website will be intrinsically involved with the cinemas's server and data capture systems. I want to generate that lead. I will not be asking the cinemas to pay me 6-7 figures/year to rent. If i get one customer purchase a ticket, i will ask...

    hey moop: Currently, there are no third party sites that offer show times. I guess if you type in your city and movies times you will get the closest cinema's chains website. And what do you thinkg about Home :: Event Cinemas. They advertise tickets for around 70 theatres but don't do the...

    @moop: the chains i am looking at are owned by Village Roadshow Ltd; it owns and operates around 70 theatres in Oceania. Now, they have a website (Home :: Event Cinemas) that is dedicated to online ticket purchase. Now, my plan is to set up a website myself (my own platform) and have Village...

    @moop: i'll be developing a platform and an additional avenue of bringing sales for cinemas. Take for example and average ticket being $10. Of this $10, cinemas make $6.5 and usually end up with around $2.50 profit after all costs. I want to convince them to shed some employees, because...

    ^hey moop: what do you mean by 'ensure recurrent payment'. The cinemas already have an online ticketing option, and i've developed a an alternate internet-to-mobile route. I guess i am going to be charging only a 8% commission on each purchase and will be responsible for all costs (so the...

    thanks for the replies. The only problem i face or the question i ask myself is: what is stopping the cinemas from doing it all by themselves? How do i convince them i should be handling this? I've told my brother to brainstorm some answers, but its been hard

    My plan is to set up a MMS barcode ticketing system for cinemas. I have done all the cost benefit analysis, and it can save the cinemas a lot of money. I have talked to a person on another forum and her mother is the manager of a cinema and i've asked her to ask her on her views on my plan (she...

    how much comission should i charge?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    hey thanks for the quick replies Chris. Was wondering, if there was downtime in my business, what reason would they have to bail. I will only be taking commission from them for a sale plus advertising their business. It is not like i will be taking an initial monthly fee. cheers

    how much comission should i charge?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    would a 15% commission and no monthly be alright? The difficult part will be convincing all the clients to take part in my site. I am planning on offering free 1 month usage, whereby i do not take any commission for sales in the first month. Hopefully, that helps
