Second homes used in recent seasons

Match-day checklist

Based on IPL 2026 rules, which are broadly the same at every ground.

  • Keep your digital ticket ready on a charged phone, and use the gate printed on it. Screenshots may not be accepted.
  • Carry a government photo ID in case security asks for it.
  • Leave power banks, bags, outside food, water bottles, coins and lighters at home. Cloakrooms are rare, so banned items may be confiscated.
  • Plan to arrive early. Gates opened about three hours before the start at several grounds in IPL 2026, and security queues run long for evening matches.
  • Prefer the metro or train where one is close. Most grounds restrict parking around the stadium on match days.
  • Buy tickets only from the franchise’s official ticketing partner. IPL tickets carry 40% GST.
