Once you are there:
- Choose the match you want to watch, the stadium and where you want to sit.
- Enter your details and pay using UPI, online banking or a digital wallet.
- You will get a confirmation email or text once your payment is done.
You might find some tickets available at the stadium just before the match but booking online is the way to go since matches are super popular.
Ticket prices are divided into categories like general admission, mid-range, premium and VIP. Depending on the stadium and how good the seats are, you are looking at spending from ₹400 to ₹35,000.
The GST increase from 28% to 40% really makes a difference. Now a ticket that used to cost ₹1,000 could cost you between ₹1,280 and ₹1,400 after tax. This increase in price might make some fans think twice about going to the matches.
Keep an eye out for early access. Teams like Rajasthan Royals sometimes offer special members (like Slice card holders) a head start, usually about two weeks before the matches. To stay in the loop on when to pre-register and what deals are available, check the official IPL website.
