M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Best Seats

Which Stands Give You the Best Cricket Experience? Here are 4 seating options we recommend—whether you’re looking for the best view, hoping to get up close with the players, craving the loudest crowd vibes, or just want a premium, high-end experience, these picks have got you covered!

1. Upper Stands – Wide, Full View

• A Stand (Rows A–E): This is my top pick! The view is absolutely amazing—you get a full look at the entire field. Plus, the price is super reasonable. Perfect for fans who want a clear view without spending too much.
• G Stand (Rows F–K): This would be my second pick. The view’s still awesome—even though it’s a bit off to the side, that actually gives you a front-row look at the boundary action and edge-of-the-field moments. If you can’t snag a seat in the center, this spot won’t let you down!

2. Lower Stands – Up-Close Action

B Stand (Rows F–L): If you’re all about feeling the players’ energy and soaking in the cheer squad’s vibes, this is totally your zone! You’ll be close enough to hear the players shouting and maybe even interact with the cheerleaders—the energy here is next level.

Just a heads-up though—don’t go too far to the front. Seats that are too close might have your view blocked by railings or the crowd. Rows F to L are the sweet spot, giving you the perfect balance of distance and view.

3. Fan Frenzy Zone – Wild Crowd Vibes

C Lower Stand (Rows K–P, Seats 1–15): This section is where the party’s at. Right beside the players’ practice area, you might just catch a close-up moment—or even a cheeky autograph!

And the energy? Off the charts. The cheering, the chanting—it never stops. Perfect for hardcore fans who love to go all out and yell their lungs out!

4.Premium Zone – Comfort & VIP Vibes

• Stand P2 (Rows A & B): If you’re after a luxury experience, this one’s definitely my top pick. You’ll get access to an exclusive VIP lounge with top-tier service and complimentary food and drinks—just imagine catching the match while enjoying a delicious meal in total comfort.
• N Stand (Rows A–J): This spot is on a whole different level—it’s basically the royalty of stadium seating. It’s perfectly centered for an unbeatable view of the field. You’ll enjoy unlimited food and drinks across three floors, with an insane variety of dishes to choose from. And yes, there’s live band entertainment from 5 PM to 7 PM to keep the vibes high!

How to Get There

From 3 PM to midnight on match days, roads around the stadium (like MG Road and Queens Road) prohibit parking, so driving yourself isn’t recommended. It’s best to arrive at least 1 hour early to allow time for security checks, grabbing merch like flags, or joining in pre-match activities like face painting!

Here are the best ways to reach M. Chinnaswamy Stadium:

1. Metro

• Nearest Station: Cubbon Park Metro Station (Purple Line)
• Suggestion: The metro is highly recommended on match days. The last train on the Purple Line runs around 11:47 PM, so it’s perfect for heading home after the match.

2. Bus

• Nearest Stops: M.G Statue (Chinnaswamy Stadium) or Cubbon Park – both take around a 3–4 minute walk to the stadium.
• Bus Routes: 121-BA, 154, 290B, 291N, 302D, G-9, KIA-5, and more.
• Match Day Special Service:
  • The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) offers special bus services during the IPL season (April 2 to May 17). Buses run from major city points like Kempegowda Bus Station to the stadium starting at 5 PM, with return buses running until midnight. Great option for fans coming from outside the city center who want a direct, easy ride!

3. Coming from Bangalore Airport (BLR)

• Option 1: By Bus

Take the BMTC airport bus (Route: KIA Terminal 2 to MG Statue). Around 1 hour, approximately ₹160–₹240.

Buses run about once every hour, once you arrive at MG Statue bus stop, it’s just a 3-minute walk to the stadium.

• Option 2: By Taxi

Take around 32 minutes to arrive，approximately ₹900–₹1,150.

It's better to book a reliable taxi service like Easy Drive, as ride-hailing apps like Ola or Uber may be hard to book on match days.

Ticket Snatching Tips

1. Keep an Eye on the Official Sale Time
I get so nervous every time RCB tickets drop!
For example, tickets for the April 2 match vs Gujarat Titans opened at 12 PM on March 19 and sold out instantly.
RCB usually releases tickets 2–4 weeks before the match.
👉 Keep checking royalchallengers.com and @RCBTweets so you’re the first to know.

2. Log In Early, Don’t Wait
I always log in 10–15 minutes before the sale starts.
If tickets drop at 12 PM, I’m already sitting on the page at 11:45 AM, ready to go.
Being early = faster access = better chances!

3. Fast Internet is Your Best Friend
Don’t risk it with slow data!
✅ Use stable Wi-Fi
🚫 Avoid mobile data (been there, almost cried)
You need speed to beat the crowd!

4. Use Multiple Devices
When it’s go time, I open:

• Phone 📱
• Tablet 💻
• Laptop 🖥️
  If one freezes, the others might still work.
  This tip has saved me so many times!

5. Have Multiple Payment Methods Ready
UPI, Credit Card, Net Banking—prepare all of them.
One time my UPI failed and I nearly missed out
High traffic = payment delays, so don’t take chances!

6. Group Booking = Total Win
Going with friends? Book together!
RCB usually allows 4–6 tickets per booking, and you’ll get seats together.
Sometimes group bookings come with discounts too 🎉
