Offline Ticket Booking – Stadium Box Office Info
If you prefer buying tickets in person, here’s what you need to know:
Most stadiums open their box office counters 1 to 2 days before the match. You must carry a valid photo ID. Both cash and digital payment methods (UPI, card) are generally accepted.
However, offline counters have limited tickets available, and they work on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’re planning to watch a high-demand match (like the final), it’s safer to book online in advance.

Here’s what to expect regarding refunds and cancellations:

- Tickets are non-transferable – the name on the ticket should match the person entering the stadium.
- ID verification is mandatory at the entry gate.
- Entry restrictions apply – outside food, large bags, water bottles, power banks, helmets, and selfie sticks are typically not allowed inside.
