Updated: Oct 6, 2025, 23:47 IST
Eden Gardens is one of the most renowned cathedrals in cricket - a place full of history, hype, and glamour. Regardless of whether you are new to this stadium or a loyal patron, its layout, seating arrangement, and ticket pricing can make your experience watching a game there an easy and enjoyable one. Here is a whole new and revised manual to assist you.
Stadium Layout and Structure
- Eden Gardens is found in central Kolkata, which is close to B.B.D. Bagh and the Maidan locality. It now has a population of about 68,000 spectators following a series of renovations. Historically, it had the capacity of approximately 100,000 people, but this was lowered in favor of good safety and comfort.
- The football field is approximately circular and has square boundaries of approximately 66- 68 meters and straight boundaries of approximately 78 meters. Its pitch is approximately 20.11 meters. These two extremities of the ground are referred to as the High Court End and the Pavilion End. The stadium is multi-level with upper, middle, and lower blocks, and the Club House area has premium seats.
- Eden Gardens has a few levels: higher levels of general seating, middle levels of higher viewing angles, a low level by the boundary block to get the immersive experience, and personal Club House or corporate boxes that have luxurious amenities.
Seating Zones and Viewing Experience
These stands are the cheapest and are found in the higher levels, which are lively and energetic. The perspective is a little far and ideal for people who enjoy the crowd atmosphere.
1. General Stands (G1, H1, and Outer Blocks)
These blocks are placed in the central part of the stadium, and they provide a favorable view of the field. The seating is high enough to give a good view, and such places are usually a favorite among the spectators of the IPL.
2. Mid-Tier Blocks (B1, C1, D1, K1, L1)
These seats offer a close and exciting view of the game since they are located close to the boundary line. They are expensive but worth the cost to people who want to have a high-quality viewing angle.
3. Lower and Premium Blocks (B, C, D, E, K, L)
These are the most luxurious areas of Eden Gardens. They are well-positioned and roofed and have air-conditioned lounges, individual seating, and hospitality services. The Club House is mainly utilised by VIPs and corporate guests.
4. Club House and Pavilion Boxes
The seats in the Club House are the best to sit in, but they are much more expensive. Ticket prices of the high-end blocks, such as D, E, and F, have increased by approximately 1,500 to 3,500 and above in recent seasons of the IPL.
Ticket Prices and Current Trends
The cost of the tickets at Eden Gardens will also depend on the nature of the match (domain, IPL, or international) and the seating location. Here is the general range:
- General Stands (G1, H1): ₹900
- Mid-Level Blocks (B1, C1, D1, K1, L1): ₹3,500
- Premium Blocks (B, C, D, E, K, L): ₹5,000
- Club House Upper Tier: ₹6,000
- Club House Lower / VIP Boxes: ₹10,000
- Luxury Boxes (B Block): ₹15,000 or more
Most of the regular games cost between 500 and 4,000, whereas a high-profile match of the IPL or international matches can cost over 20,000. IPL 2025 witnessed an astronomical increase in the price of tickets, with certain fans expressing concerns regarding prices.
Tips for Visitors
1. Book tickets in advance to secure the best seats, in particular, IPL and international India matches.
2. Do not buy tickets on unofficial sites such as BookMyShow, Paytm Insider, or the official IPL/CAB websites.
3. A good option would be the mid-tier blocks that provide a balance between quality and cost of the view.
4. Domestic and Ranji Trophy events are extremely cheap and begin at around 200.
5. Watch out for dynamic pricing around matchdays, and prices can rise.
6. Be on time, at least an hour or two before the game starts, to escape the queues and to get into the pre-match spirit.
