Another good news is that movie fans can now purchase with credit card via GSC Mobile Apps (Windows Phone, iOS –new and Android – new) as this new feature has just be added to the mobile app.
With the implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) on April 1, 2015, GSC ticket prices, vouchers, concession items and F&B items will remain the same but consumers will need to pay the 6% GST on the existing prices.

GSC will be conducting a price rebalancing to align the prices to the nearest 50 cents.

More than 900 Dolby Atmos screens have been installed or committed to in more than 40 countries with more than 250 exhibitor partners. More than 200 films from 17 different countries have been or are scheduled to be released with Dolby Atmos sound since the first film debuted in June 2012. Dolby Atmos has received technical achievement awards from both the Hollywood Post Alliance and the Cinema Audio Society.
