Chennai wants this game. Alistair Dobson, head of Big Bash Leagues, says 5,000 tickets are already gone for the BBL opener at Chepauk, and the first 2,000 went in about 30 minutes.
That is why extra tickets are now out. Chennai opener tickets sold out fast, so the league released more seats for the 12 December clash between the Renegades and the Perth Scorchers. The match is the first fixture on the full BBL 2027 schedule.
What it costs
Prices run from ₹1,500 for the F Lower Tier to ₹6,000 for the C Hospitality Box. Mid-range seats sit between ₹2,000 and ₹3,500. Tickets are on the District by Zomato app and website. Our BBL 2027 tickets guide has the booking details.
What fans get
Gates open at 12:40 PM for a 2:40 PM IST start. Expect the full BBL show: music, colour and noise. The opener is part of a week-long celebration of India-Australia ties.
For Chennai fans who have only watched the BBL on TV, this is the first chance to see it live. At 5,000 tickets in the first week, a full house of about 35,000 looks well within reach.
