“Onward journey from any station to Cubbon Park and MG Road Metro stations shall be by means of tokens, QR tickets, and smart cards at normal fares. For swift crowd clearance BMRCL will be issuing return journey paper tickets which will be available for sale at all Metro stations well in advance on the cricket match days from 3 pm,” BMRCL said.

The paper tickets are priced at Rs 50 and will be valid for a single journey from the Cubbon Park and MG Road stations (located in the vicinity of the Chinnaswamy Stadium) to any stations on the Purple and Green Lines respectively on the match days.

The Bengaluru Metro’s Purple Line stretch between Whitefield and K R Puram (Kadugodi) will not have extended Metro services on the IPL match days. The Purple Line to Whitefield has a key missing link on a 2.1-km stretch between Baiyappanahalli and K R Puram.
