How to Book TNPL Tickets Online:

In the digital age, securing your spot at the stadium is just a few clicks away. The Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) typically partners with leading ticketing platforms to ensure a smooth booking process.

Official Ticketing Partners:

For the 2026 season, tickets are expected to be available primarily on Paytm Insider. In some instances, BookMyShow may also list specific matches. Fans are advised to check the official TNPL social media handles for the direct booking link once sales go live.

Step-by-Step Booking Guide:

1. Visit the Platform: Open the Paytm Insider app or website.
2. Search for TNPL: Type “TNPL 2026” or “Tamil Nadu Premier League” in the search bar.
3. Select Your Match: Choose the specific match you wish to attend (e.g., “Chepauk Super Gillies vs Lyca Kovai Kings”).
4. Choose Your Stand: Select your preferred viewing area. Options usually include General Stands, Premium Seating, and Hospitality Boxes.
5. Select Quantity: You can typically book up to 4 tickets per transaction.
6. Make Payment: Complete the transaction using UPI, Credit/Debit Card, or Net Banking.
7. Download M-Ticket: Once confirmed, you will receive a digital ticket (M-Ticket) via email and SMS. This QR code is your entry pass.

Offline Ticket Sales:

For fans who prefer buying physical tickets, the TNCA sets up box office counters at the respective venues. This is a great option if online tickets are sold out or if you are deciding to watch the match at the last minute.

Box Office Locations:

• Salem: Counter near the main gate of Salem Cricket Foundation Ground.
• Dindigul: Ticket counter at the NPR College entrance.
• Tirunelveli: Counters located outside the ICL Sankar Nagar Ground.
• Coimbatore: Main entrance of the SNR College Cricket Ground.

Timings:

The counters usually open two days before the match and remain open from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. On match days, tickets are sold subject to availability.

Stadium Entry Guidelines:

To ensure the safety and comfort of all spectators, strict entry guidelines are enforced at all TNPL venues.

What to Bring:

• Valid Ticket: A physical printout or the digital QR code on your phone.
• ID Proof: A government issued ID (Aadhaar, License) is recommended for verification.

Prohibited Items:

Do not carry the following items as they will be confiscated at the security check:

• Power banks and charging cables.
• Professional cameras or recording equipment.
• Outside food and water bottles (water is provided inside).
• Coins, lighters, and matchboxes.
• Helmets (if you are riding a bike, you must deposit it at the parking lot).

FAQs:

Can I cancel my TNPL ticket and get a refund?

No, tickets once booked are generally non refundable and non exchangeable. Refunds are only processed if the match is officially abandoned without a single ball being bowled.

Is entry free for children?

Children below the age of 3 usually enter for free but must sit on a parent’s lap. Children aged 3 and above require a full valid ticket.

Do I need to print the online ticket?

In most cases, showing the QR code on your mobile phone is sufficient. However, carrying a printout is a good backup in case of phone battery issues.

Are there season passes available?

Occasionally, the ticketing partner may offer a “Season Pass” for a specific venue (e.g., a pass for all 7 matches in Salem) at a discounted rate. Check the app for “Venue Pass” options.

Who do I contact for booking issues?

If you face payment failures or do not receive your ticket, you should contact the customer support of the ticketing platform (Paytm Insider or BookMyShow) directly, not the stadium authorities.
