With Virat Kohli set to feature in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025, fans are eager to watch the Indian cricket star live from the stands. Kohli is likely to play Delhi’s opening matches on December 24 and December 26 in Bengaluru, and demand for tickets is expected to surge.
Here’s a detailed guide on how to book Vijay Hazare Trophy tickets and the safest ways to ensure you get legitimate access to the matches. This information is advisory in nature and should be verified with official announcements.
How to buy Vijay Hazare Trophy tickets?
1. Official BCCI ticketing partners
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) manages ticketing for domestic tournaments. For certain venues, ticket sales open through BCCI’s authorised online partners or offline counters. Fans should monitor announcements from BCCI or the hosting state association for the exact ticketing source.
2. Authorized online ticket platforms
Depending on the venue, tickets may be listed on major ticketing websites such as:
-
BookMyShow
-
Paytm Insider
-
TicketGenie
However, availability varies by state association and is not guaranteed for every match.
3. Stadium box office
For many domestic fixtures, especially league-stage games, tickets can be bought directly at the stadium box office on the day of the match or a few days prior. These are usually sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Some smaller venues may even allow free entry for early-stage matches.
Ticket prices
Vijay Hazare Trophy matches are typically affordable, with general entry tickets usually priced between ₹100 and ₹500. Prices may differ based on:
-
Venue and city
-
Stage of the tournament
-
Seating categories (general stands, premium stands, hospitality)
Important things to remember
-
Carry a valid government ID for ticket collection or entry.
-
Always rely on official BCCI or state association announcements for venue-specific updates.
-
Avoid buying tickets from unauthorized sources to prevent fraud.
-
Some matches, especially in early rounds, may have free entry depending on the hosting association.
With Kohli returning to domestic one-day cricket for the first time in nearly 15 years, these matches are expected to attract strong crowds. Fans planning to attend should keep a close watch on official ticketing updates as match day approaches.
