RCB Match Ticket Price: The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the biggest sports leagues in the world. With India being a country where cricket is no less than a religion, there are no shortage of people wanting to witness a live cricket match. However, how much does the ticket really cost? Well, it depends on a variety of factors. If you are one of the early ones and want the cheaptest tickets for a Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) home game, it could be as less as Rs 499, claims a report carried by The Indian Express.
However, in case it's a last minute decision to try and book a ticket for a Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) home fixture, one could have to pay a hefty amount of Rs 52,938. The IPL franchise owners are well aware of the massive demand for IPL tickets which is why they have strategies in place like surge pricing. The aim is simple, maximise the revenue through the sale of tickets. With the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) giving the franchises all the leeway in deciding the ticket prices and the packed stadiums, there for everyone to see, in IPL 2024, there hasn't been any complaint.

RCB Continue To Enjoy Loyal Fan Base Despite Another Poor IPL Season
A team like RCB, however, is cashing on the loyal fan base it continues to have even though it's yet another miserable season in the IPL for them. Like every season, they have the firepower in the likes of Virat Kohli, captain Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell among other players but have failed to perform together as a unit, registering only one win in 7 matches. Yet RCB fans are having to pay Rs 2,300 which is the cheapest ticket available at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium - the same report by the abovementioned claims. This is the highest for any team across all the venues in the competition.
