RR vs RCB Ticket Prices: What to Expect at ACA Stadium
Ticket sales for this match are not yet live at the time of writing. However, based on the earlier RR vs CSK (March 30) and RR vs MI (April 7) matches at the same venue, we have a solid estimate.
Rajasthan Royals Guwahati tickets have ranged from Rs 2,700 to Rs 4,200 for general and mid-range stands across previous matches this season.
| Seating Category | Expected Price (Rs) | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Student Ticket (limited availability) | Rs 799 | Budget |
| General Stands (Upper Tier) | Rs 2,700 | Budget |
| Mid-Range Stands | Rs 3,500 – Rs 4,200 | Mid-Range |
| Premium / Club Level | Rs 5,000 – Rs 7,500 | Premium |
| VIP / Hospitality Box | Rs 9,000 – Rs 10,000+ | VIP |
On top of the base price, District charges a booking fee of approximately 10-12% inclusive of GST. For reference, a Rs 2,700 ticket for the RR vs CSK match cost Rs 3,018.60 after the Rs 318.60 fee.
Since this is an RCB match, expect higher demand than usual. Virat Kohli’s fan following in India means RR vs RCB tickets could sell out faster than other fixtures.
Student tickets at Rs 799 were introduced for the RR vs MI match. If RR offers them again for this game, they will be announced on RR’s official social media channels.

Here is the exact booking flow based on the District interface for RR Guwahati matches.
Step 1: Open the Match Page on District
Visit district.in or open the District by Zomato app.
Search for ‘TATA IPL 2026’ or ‘Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru’.
The match card shows Fri, 10 Apr, 7:30 PM at ACA Stadium, Barsapara, Guwahati. If tickets are live, you will see a ‘Book Tickets’ button. Otherwise, tap ‘Notify Me’.
Step 2: Select Your Stand from the Seating Map
Once tickets go live, clicking ‘Book Tickets’ opens the interactive stadium seating map.
You will see different stands in various colours. Price filter buttons at the bottom let you narrow down by budget.
Greyed-out sections mean sold out. Coloured sections still have availability. Tap your preferred stand to proceed.
Step 3: Pick Your Seat and Add to Cart
After selecting a stand, the seat-level view opens. Available seats appear as coloured dots, while booked seats are greyed out.
Tap any available seat to see its Row, Seat number, and price. Then tap ‘Add to Cart’.
A 10-minute countdown timer begins the moment you add tickets. Complete payment before it expires or your seats get released.

Unlike Delhi Capitals (which uses physical tickets), RR uses M-Tickets (mobile tickets with a QR code).

These counters were active for the RR vs CSK and RR vs MI matches. Availability for RR vs RCB will be confirmed once ticket sales go live.
Note: Even if you buy at a physical counter, you still need the District app to access your M-ticket. No printed or e-ticket alternatives are available.
