IPL 2022: Ticketing Partner BookMyShow Reveals Crowd Capacity Will Be Raised To 50% From April 6

The IPL 2022 season saw the return of crowds after two seasons but the limit was capped off at 25%. However, the league’s official ticketing partner has now stated that the capacity has been increased to 50% starting from April 6.

The league is being held across four venues – Wankhede Stadium, Brabourne stadium in Mumbai, DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai, and Maharashtra Cricket Association stadium in Gahunje in Pune. Each stadium was allowed a quarter of its original capacity considering covid regulations.

However, with the decrease in the number of cases and with few governments removing the mandate on masks, the BCCI might have seen it fit to allow larger crowds as the league stage moves ahead.

“Ticket sales for the next set of matches are live even as the BCCI has announced an increase in stadium occupancy to 50%, which was earlier capped at 25% thereby extending the opportunity for many more fans across India and beyond to experience the IPL action live in the stadia,” BookMyShow claimed in a media release.
