For ticket holders

  • Personal use only. Tickets are strictly for personal use only and must not be resold, transferred, or used for any commercial purpose.
  • Entry is subject to security. Entry to every venue is subject to security checks, crowd management and the instructions of the police and competent authorities; even with a valid ticket or Gold Card, entry may be restricted on security grounds, and no refund or claim applies in such cases.
  • Redeem your voucher. The booking confirmation from TicketGenie is a redemption voucher, not a ticket. Exchange it for your physical ticket or Gold Card before the event, as instructed on the voucher.
  • Seat numbers. The Gold Card and the Procession ticket carry an enclosure and seat number; only those printed on them apply. The Torchlight Parade, its Rehearsal and the Drone Show are free seating inside the ticketed enclosure — arrive early for a good spot, and be at the gate before it closes.
  • Carry ID. Bring the physical ticket or Gold Card and a photo ID for verification at the entry points.
  • Gold Card venues. Palace, Chamundi Hill and Zoo entry is one-time each; venue timings, weekly holidays and entry rules apply (the Zoo is closed on Tuesdays).
  • Parking. Park only at the location marked on your Gold Card, or use the free festival shuttles from the parking hubs. Parking and shuttles
