IPL 2025 Playoffs Tickets Go Live on May 24: Here’s Everything You Need to Know

Priority access for RuPay cardholders, blockbuster matches in Chandigarh and Ahmedabad

The countdown to the most intense part of the TATA IPL 2025 has officially begun. On May 23, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that IPL 2025 Playoffs tickets will be available for purchase starting May 24, setting the stage for the year’s biggest cricketing spectacles. The online ticketing process, managed by District by Zomato, promises a smooth, accessible experience for fans eager to witness the IPL’s climactic battles unfold live in the stadiums.

This year’s playoff matches will be hosted across two major venues—the New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh and the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the largest cricket stadium in the world. With only four matches standing between now and the championship crown, demand is expected to surge rapidly as fans race to be part of the action.

Ticket sales timeline and venues

To ensure fair and streamlined access, ticket sales will be released in phases. RuPay cardholders will get an exclusive 24-hour priority window to book tickets before the general public. This initiative continues the IPL’s long-standing tradition of rewarding early access to loyal fan segments and sponsor-backed users.

On May 24, RuPay users can book seats for Qualifier 1 (May 29) and the Eliminator (May 30)—both taking place at the state-of-the-art New Chandigarh stadium. Following that, on May 26, RuPay cardholders can grab their early-access tickets for Qualifier 2 (June 1) and the IPL 2025 Final (June 3) to be hosted in Ahmedabad.

The non-exclusive general ticket sales for these matches will follow shortly: May 25 for Chandigarh fixtures, and May 27 for the Ahmedabad clashes. This phased rollout ensures that fans have multiple chances to secure their spot in the stands, whether via early access or open public sales.

District by Zomato: The new face of IPL ticketing

The appointment of District by Zomato as the official ticketing partner for the IPL 2025 Playoffs is another evolution in the league’s tech-forward approach. Known for their intuitive UI, secure payment systems, and event-first user experience, District brings a fresh layer of digital sophistication to the IPL ticketing process.

Fans can purchase tickets through:

• The official IPL website (https://www.iplt20.com)

• District by Zomato’s website (https://www.district.in)

• District by Zomato’s mobile app (available on Android and iOS)

This partnership is expected to offer better real-time availability tracking, fast digital confirmations, and a glitch-free booking experience key expectations when ticket volumes soar during playoff windows.

Playoffs to be hosted in modern sporting hubs

With the playoffs heading to New Chandigarh and Ahmedabad, fans can expect world-class venues and infrastructure. The New PCA Stadium in Mullanpur (New Chandigarh) has quickly built a reputation for top-tier facilities, excellent sightlines, and an electric in-stadium atmosphere. Hosting two of the four playoff games here gives northern fans a golden opportunity to witness high-stakes cricket without traveling to traditional metro hubs.

Meanwhile, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is now a symbol of modern cricketing excellence. With a seating capacity of over 130,000, it remains unmatched globally in scale and grandeur. Having hosted the IPL 2022 Final and multiple World Cup fixtures, it now returns to the spotlight for IPL 2025’s grand finale.

Fan enthusiasm and expected demand

As seen in previous editions, IPL playoff ticket sales are a mad rush especially for the final. With fan loyalty peaking during these matches, and travel arrangements being planned around them, early booking is highly encouraged. The clash of the top four teams, playing for the biggest prize in T20 cricket, often guarantees edge-of-the-seat drama, packed stands, and a euphoric atmosphere.

Given that both Chandigarh and Ahmedabad have enormous cricket-following populations and limited playoff hosting history, tickets are expected to sell out quickly especially in categories with optimal viewing angles.

The RuPay advantage

This year’s ticketing process further sweetens the deal for RuPay cardholders, who will benefit from:

• 24-hour exclusive access before public sales

• Prime category seating options before general inventory is opened

• Faster checkout with pre-integrated payment gateways

These perks are part of RuPay’s ongoing association with the IPL, where cardholders have often enjoyed matchday benefits, contest entries, and priority offers.

Looking ahead to the ultimate showdown

With Qualifier 1, the Eliminator, Qualifier 2, and the Final now locked in on the calendar, excitement is building for the finale of a spectacular IPL 2025 season. Whether you’re rooting for RCB to finally lift the trophy, CSK to extend their dynasty, or one of the emerging contenders to make history, there’s no better way to experience the playoffs than being there live.

From classic playoff rivalries to breakout stars and thrilling match finishes, the closing chapter of IPL 2025 is shaping up to be a blockbuster and now, fans have the chance to be a part of it.
