Cricket fans in Indore will have to pay more to watch matches of the upcoming Madhya Pradesh League (MPL) at Holkar Stadium this season. The organisers have introduced tickets in two categories priced at Rs 100 and Rs 300, a significant increase from last year's Rs 50 entry fee.
Ticket Sales and Availability
The tickets will be made available online through a dedicated ticketing platform finalised by the league management. They are expected to go live within the next two to three days. The organisers are anticipating a stronger turnout this year due to the presence of several IPL and domestic cricket stars, along with the expanded schedule of the tournament.
Tournament Schedule and Matches
The upcoming edition of MPL will begin on June 3 and continue till the finals on June 26, making it the biggest season since the tournament's launch in 2024. A total of 48 matches have been scheduled this year, nearly double the number held during the previous edition in Gwalior. Most fixtures will be hosted at Holkar Stadium, while 10 matches have also been allotted to Daly College Cricket Ground to manage the packed schedule.
The opening match will feature Rajat Patidar-led Gwalior Cheetahs taking on Ashutosh Sharma's Ujjain Falcons at Holkar Stadium from 7:30 pm onwards. Several IPL-linked players including Venkatesh Iyer, Avesh Khan and Kuldeep Sen are also expected to feature during the tournament.
Daly College Matches Closed to Public
No tickets or public entry will be allowed for matches scheduled at Daly College Cricket Ground. Sources associated with the MPL said the venue currently lacks proper spectator arrangements, including seating, drinking water and other facilities required for public viewing. As a result, only Holkar Stadium matches will remain open for fans this season.
Fans are advised to purchase tickets only from the official online platform to avoid fraud. The league promises an exciting season with top-tier cricketing action.
