Other than online booking, you can also visit the stadium box office to buy tickets directly. However, avoid this for two reasons

First, there might be a long queue.
Second, there is no chance to know beforehand which seats are empty.

Some tips for a smooth booking experience

Here are some tips for a smooth IPL ticket booking experience:

Book early: IPL tickets sell out fast and if you are looking to buy one, you should book it quite early. Look at the fixtures and then immediately buy the tickets. Booking the tickets early will also ensure that you get the best seats in the stadium.
Check for offers: Many brands and eatery outlets give promotional offers on IPL tickets. If you have such an offer code, do enter it at the time of final checkout.
Verify details of the match: Sometimes, in excitement, you may book tickets for a different match. IPL tickets are non-refundable and therefore keep in mind the venue and date while you are booking tickets.

In conclusion, booking IPL tickets is quite easy and usually takes a few minutes depending on the ticket availability. You can head to Bookmyshow or Paytm Insider websites for this purpose. You can also head to your nearest stadium to buy the tickets offline, but this process may be a bit of a hassle.
