Here is the full stand-wise pricing visible on the District seating map.

The seating map shows almost every stand greyed out (sold out). The West Stand Ground Floor at Rs 5,100 is the only general-admission section with meaningful availability.
District charges a booking fee of Rs 421.26 on a Rs 5,100 ticket, bringing the total to Rs 5,521.26. Fees scale proportionally for higher categories.
For context, earlier DC home matches (like DC vs GT, Match 14) started at Rs 2,300. This match is priced higher because budget categories from the original sale are already exhausted.

Physical Ticket Pickup: What You Need to Know
Arun Jaitley Stadium uses physical tickets for entry. You must collect your ticket from the designated pickup centre before match day.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Pickup Location | Raja Ram Mohun Roy Memorial Hall, 12, Vishnu Digamber Marg, ITO, Delhi 110002 |
| What to Carry | E-ticket (email confirmation) + valid government ID |
| OTP Verification | May be required (visible under Tickets on your District Profile) |

Important: Friday evening matches attract heavy pickup crowds. Collecting your ticket a day early from the ITO centre saves you significant time and stress.
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Quick Venue Guide
Arun Jaitley Stadium (formerly Feroz Shah Kotla) is located on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi, with a seating capacity of approximately 41,000.
How to Reach the Stadium
- Delhi Metro: Take the Violet Line to ITO Station. It is the closest metro stop, roughly a 10-minute walk from the stadium gates.
- By cab/auto: Drop off near Delhi Gate or ITO intersection. Parking near the stadium is extremely limited on match days.
- Pro tip: Take the Metro. Friday evening traffic in central Delhi is already bad, and a KKR match makes it worse. ITO station is your best bet.
Match Day Tips for DC vs KKR at Arun Jaitley Stadium
- Arrive by 4:30 PM. Gates open three hours before the 7:30 PM start. Friday evening matches draw big crowds, so early entry is smart.
- Carry your physical ticket and valid government ID. No entry without both. Use the same ID you presented during ticket pickup.
- No outside food, large bags, or power banks. Standard IPL restrictions apply at Arun Jaitley Stadium.
- Take the Metro to ITO. Friday traffic plus a KKR match equals chaos on the roads. The Violet Line drops you 10 minutes from the gate.
- Stay hydrated. May evenings in Delhi are warm. Water is available inside at designated counters.
- Wear DC blue. Or KKR purple, if you are backing the Knights. Either way, DC vs KKR at Kotla under the lights is always a cracker.
What is Not Allowed Inside Arun Jaitley Stadium
