The management in a press statement stated that an Entry Coupon of Rs.100 has been introduced for the visitors to facilitate them in best possible manner.
Management is of the view that this will be helpful in providing a better atmosphere to the shoppers and the problem of overcrowding will also be overcome.
The amount of coupon will be adjustable in the shopping that the visitor does from the Centaurus Mall but only on the same day of visit.

On the other hand, the administration has exempted some of the professionals from the entry coupon after showing their professional identity cards.
According to Centaurus Mall management children under 12 and women, judges, advocates, journalists, MNA’s, MPA’s, armed forces personnel, old age citizens, special people, police, teachers of universities, doctors, government employees and many others will be exempted from paying entrance charges.
Pakistani twitterati took it upon themselves to trend the news with the hashtag #Centaurus and offered their views, with a tinge of humour:-

Although #Centaurus entry fee is against basic consumer rights but I’m a witness of how pindi dhok-wals are eve teasing and brushing bodies.
