Availability: What’s sold out and what’s left
Qualifier 1 & Eliminator (Dharamshala / New Chandigarh):
Early RuPay pre-sales were followed by general ticket releases on May 21. Demand has been overwhelming, especially for RCB and GT fixtures, with most standard stands selling out within minutes. Limited inventory may still appear through return releases or corporate allocations.
Final (Ahmedabad):
Public sales opened on May 23 for the 1.3-lakh capacity Narendra Modi Stadium. While budget categories have largely been exhausted, select mid-tier and hospitality tickets are still appearing in short, intermittent windows.
With queues crossing lakhs of users during peak sale windows, secondary market activity has surged on social platforms. Authorities have strongly advised to avoid tickets listed on X (Twitter), Reddit and other unofficial channels, where inflated pricing and fraudulent listings are common. The only safe and verified source remains District by Zomato via official IPL ticketing links.
