Number of Gold Cards
Speaking to Star of Mysore this morning, Deputy Commissioner Lakshmikanth Reddy clarified that the District Administration has not set a cap on the total number of Gold Cards and tickets available for purchase. “People can buy any number of tickets and Gold Cards. There is no limit. Sales will continue until Oct. 1,” he said.
To prevent bulk purchases for black-market resale, the Administration has introduced OTP and e-mail-based authentication for all purchases. “This measure has proven effective, ensuring a fair distribution and availability of tickets even days after sales begin. We have printed more tickets based on demand and are releasing them daily to avoid bulk buying,” the DC added.
The OTP-based system requires buyers to provide personal details, including their e-mail address, to ensure that genuine tourists have access to the events.
Rules for ticket holders
To redeem tickets or Gold Cards, holders must present a valid Government-issued ID proof. If someone else is redeeming it on their behalf, the Gold Card holder must provide an authorisation letter along with their own ID and the ID of the authorised person.
A special drone show exclusively for Gold Card members has been scheduled, with the date printed on the back of the card. Entry will be allowed only on the date mentioned. Once booked, tickets cannot be cancelled, exchanged or refunded under any circumstances.
