How to Book CSK vs MI Match 44 Tickets on District by Zomato
Once tickets go live, here is how to book them step by step.
Step 1: Open the CSK Event Page on District
First, visit district.in or open the District by Zomato app on your phone.
Next, look for Chennai Super Kings | TATA IPL 2026 on the homepage or search for it directly.
On the event page, you will see a list of all CSK home matches. Scroll down to the “Upcoming” section and find Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians on Sat, 02 May.
Right now, the button shows “Coming Soon” instead of “Book Tickets.” As soon as booking opens, that button changes to “Book Tickets” — tap it to proceed.
Step 2: Select Your Stand from the Stadium Map
After tapping “Book Tickets,” the Chepauk Stadium seating map loads on your screen. At the top, you will notice a countdown timer — complete your booking before it runs out.
At the bottom of the screen, four price filter buttons appear: ₹3,500, ₹4,000, ₹4,700, and ₹8,000.
Tap any price to highlight the stands available in that range. Here is a quick guide to reading the colour codes on the map:
- Cyan / Light Blue – Available seats
- Grey– Sold out
- Pink– Nearly sold out
Popular stands at Chepauk include FedEx – I Upper, Ethihad Airways – J Upper (closest to the CSK dugout), Boncafe – K Upper/Lower, Equitas Bank – D Upper, and the MCC Terrace.
Step 3: Pick Your Exact Seat
Next, tap on an available stand to zoom into the row-and-seat layout.
Available seats appear as teal circles, while grey dots show already booked seats. Tap a seat to see a preview card with the row number, seat number, stand name, and price.
Once you confirm your choice, the bottom bar shows your selection. Then tap “ADD TO CART” to continue.
Step 4: Review Your Order Summary
At this point, the “Review Your Booking” page loads. Here you can check your ticket details and the full price breakdown:
| Component | Amount (Expected) |
|---|---|
| Order Amount | ₹3,500 (base tier) |
| Fees and Charges (incl. GST) | ~₹199.90 |
| Grand Total | ~₹3,699.90 |
Before moving on, check “View all event offers” and “View all payment offers” for any cashback or discount deals. Then tap “CONTINUE”.
Step 5: Fill Billing Details and Pay
Finally, the Billing Details page opens. Fill in your full name (as on your ID), phone number, nationality, state, and email address.
After filling in all the details, check the terms and conditions box and tap “Continue” to reach the payment page.
District by Zomato accepts UPI, debit/credit cards, net banking, and Zomato Pay.
Once your payment goes through, your digital M-Ticket (QR code) arrives on your email and also appears in your District app profile. This QR code is your entry pass at the stadium gate.
No Physical Ticket Pickup Needed
Unlike some other IPL venues, Chepauk runs entirely on digital M-Tickets. So there is no box office visit or physical ticket collection involved.
Your phone with the QR code is your entry pass. Just make sure your phone is fully charged before heading to the stadium.
Best Seats for CSK vs MI at Chepauk
With a capacity of roughly 50,000 spectators, M. A. Chidambaram Stadium is one of India’s most iconic cricket grounds.
| Budget | Stand | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| ₹3,500 | I Upper, J Upper, K Upper, D Upper, G Upper | Value-for-money CSK fans |
| ₹4,000 | Select Lower Stands, Mid-Tier Sections | Regular match-goers |
| ₹4,700 | Premium Upper/Lower Stands | Serious cricket fans |
| ₹8,000 | AC Boxes, MCC Terrace, KMK Terrace | Corporate / luxury experience |
Pro Tip: The J-Stand (Ethihad Airways – J Upper) sits right next to the CSK dugout and is the loudest section in the stadium. It sells out the fastest, so grab it first when booking opens.
Important Things to Know Before You Go
Since this is a 7:30 PM evening match, the heat should be more manageable compared to afternoon games. Still, carry a light jacket as sea breeze near Chepauk can get cool after sunset.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Gates open around 5:30 PM (expected, similar to other CSK home evening matches)
- Power banks are not allowed inside the stadium charge your phone fully beforehand
- Download your QR code offline to avoid network issues at the entry gate
- Children aged 3 and above need a full-price ticket no separate child pricing
- Prohibited items include outside food, large bags, glass bottles, professional cameras, and sharp objects
- Free water stations are available inside the stadium
For transport, the Chepauk MRTS railway station is the closest stop and your best bet to avoid match-day traffic near Marina Beach.
