Pre-sale registration

Pre-sale registration is already open on BookMyShow. Fans can register early for matches of Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans. This includes games at Wankhede Stadium and Narendra Modi Stadium.

However, registration does not guarantee a ticket. It only gives fans a chance to enter the early booking window. Tickets will still be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

Expected IPL 2026 ticket prices

Ticket prices will depend on the stadium and the match. For the opening game at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, prices may be a little higher because the stadium has limited seats.

• Budget seats: ₹450 to ₹950
• Mid-range seats: ₹1,500 to ₹4,500
• Premium seating: ₹6,000 to ₹12,000
• Corporate boxes and VVIP hospitality: ₹25,000 to ₹40,000 or more

Fans are advised to register early and keep checking the ticket platforms so they do not miss the chance to watch IPL 2026 matches live in the stadium.
