Nagwa Al Shazly, chairperson and managing director of the MISR Company for Sound, Light, and Cinema, said that demand on the Pyramids Sound and Light shows increased from 10% to 60% in the recent period. The MISR Company for Sound, Light, and Cinema is raising the price of tickets from EGP 125 to EGP 150 starting in April. Al Shazly said that the increase is very small and does very little to offset the hiked operational costs. Al Shazly pointed out that certain floodlights the company bought previously cost EGP 9,000, but that their price now is EGP 38,000. In terms of the ticket prices, Al Shazly said that the company had only two ways to go: either increase the prices or raise the minimum audience to 30 up from 10.
