Booking Tickets in Advance

- Booking in advance ensures you get a time slot and avoid waiting in long queues.
- Especially Special Entry / ₹300 tickets and VIP slots sell out fast, so early booking helps.
- Agents and travel services can help you monitor openings and secure slots when they are released.
Choose Less Crowded Days & Months
- Visit during weekdays (Tuesday–Thursday) instead of weekends.
- Avoid festival seasons, school holidays, and weekends when crowd peaks.
- Go in months like April–May or June–September when fewer pilgrims visit.
- Early Morning or Late Evening Darshan
- Go for darshan early (3 AM to 6 AM) before big crowds form.
- Or try late evening / night darshan when fewer people are there.
- Use Higher Priority Ticket Types
- Opt for Special Entry or VIP Break Darshan which have shorter waiting time.
- Use Srivani Darshan donation slots for better access.
Understand & Use Queue System Properly
- Tirumala uses Vaikuntam Queue Complex to control pilgrims’ flow.
- There is a block based queue system grouping pilgrims to manage congestion
- Follow queue signs, instructions, and go through the correct entry path.
Monitor Real-Time Updates & Use Tech
- TTD recently launched an AI command center to monitor crowd density and predict wait times.
- Use official apps or websites to check live darshan wait times before entering.
- This helps you time your entry or choose alternative slots.
The Risk of Using Bus or Train Only
- If you depend on train or bus, missing the schedule means you may miss the darshan slot entirely.
