Ukraine’s State Agency for Cinema, under the leadership of Andriy Osipov, has announced the implementation of a single electronic ticket tracking system for cinema ticket sales starting in October 2025. This initiative is part of broader efforts to modernize the film industry and ensure greater transparency in ticket distribution. The system is designed to provide real-time data on ticket sales, helping to prevent fraud and improve the customer experience.
The move follows increasing pressure on Ukrainian cinema operators to adopt digital solutions amid growing competition from streaming platforms. By creating a centralized database of ticket transactions, the agency hopes to streamline the ticketing process and reduce administrative burdens on cinemas. This could also help in monitoring audience trends and supporting the development of local cinema culture.
