ATQ, the price of the ticket went up by 20%

$x + 20\% \: of \: x = 240 \\ x + (\frac{20}{100} \times x) = 240 \\ x + \frac{20x}{100} = 240 \\ \frac{100x}{100} + \frac{20x}{100} = 240 \\ \frac{120x}{100} = 240 \\ 120x = 240 \times 100 \\ x = \frac{24000}{120} \\ x = 200$

Hence the original price of the ticket was Rs 200
