IPL tickets become costlier following new GST rules; Rs 500 ticket now costs… ...Middle East

The Indian Premier League attracts massive crowds every season, with supporters attending stadiums across India to watch top players such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah in action. However, fans will now have to pay higher costs for stadium entry, as ticket prices might be revised.

Under revised taxation, fans will pay significantly more at the ticket counter. For example, a ticket priced at ₹1,000 will now cost ₹1,400.

As the Indian Premier League remains India’s most lucrative cricket league and one of the biggest global sporting spectacles, the new GST regime is set to hit fans directly in their pockets. However, the change is unlikely to impact attendance in the stadiums.

However, this rate of 40% will not apply to admission to recognized sporting events,” a detailed statement in the circular released by the GST council on new reforms read.
