Attending an Indian Premier League game this season? Here’s everything you need to keep in mind: Entry timings for IPL games: The entry gates for all IPL games this season will open approximately three hours before the start of the match. Don’t forget your IPL ticket: Entry will be refused if the barcode on the ticket has been tampered with or if this ticket has been torn, defaced, damaged or tampered with in any way. No re-entry in IPL games: Once you enter the stadium, you cannot leave and then re-enter. The ticket entitles the holder to access the area of the stadium in which the relevant seat is located and no other area of the stadium. What can you not carry inside a stadium for an IPL game? Bottles, lighters, tins or cans, musical instruments, flammable, toxic, illegal or hazardous substances, metal containers, firecrackers, fireworks, weapons, motorcycle helmets, bags or any other article (determined at the discretion of the organiser) which might endanger or unduly annoy any other person are not allowed inside the stadium. No food may be brought into the stadium. No alcohol may be brought into or taken out of the stadium. The consumption of alcohol may be permitted only in any authorised designated areas or places in the stadium (if any) during hours determined by the organiser. No smoking is allowed within the stadium. No item including without limitation banners or flags etc, displaying commercial logos which, in the organiser’s view, may conflict with the rights of any official sponsor related to the match, will be allowed into the Stadium. If an IPL match is cancelled, do you get a refund? Refunds will only be made if the match is cancelled or abandoned without a single ball being bowled in the match. No other refunds will be made. Do toddlers need tickets for IPL games? Children of two years of age or over must have their own ticket and all persons under the age of 18 must be accompanied by and under the supervision of (in each case constantly) an adult who also has a ticket for the match.
