The cost of the Premier League League parties of the Premier Indian (IPL) will increase after the Central Government reviews the GST rates for sporting events and entertainment. Above all, the GST council has moved IPL tickets to the highest tax support, along with luxury categories such as Casinos and Race Clubs.
The Indian Premier League attracts massive crowds every season, with supporters attending stadiums from all over India to see more important players such as Shot kohli, Rohit Sharmaand Jasprit bumrah in action. However, fans will have to pay higher costs for the stadium entry, as ticket prices could be reviewed.
New GST reforms make IPL parties more expensive
The costs of the ticket will increase for the Indian Premier League from the 2026 season. Mostly the Government has placed high -profile sports events under the 40% GST slab. IPL entries had 28% of GST above, but fans will now have an additional increase of 12%.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Under the revised taxation, fans will significantly pay more to the ticket meter. For example, a € 1,000 ticket will cost $ 1,400.
This increase is expected to affect supporters in all places, regardless of the category or location, as now the entire tournament is within the highest tax strip.
As the Indian Premier League is still the most lucrative cricket league in India and one of the largest world sports shows, the new GST regime will reach fans directly in the pockets. However, the change is unlikely to affect attendance at stadiums.
