What time are TTD Rs 300 Special Entry Darshan tickets released?

In recent months, TTD has released the Rs 300 Special Entry Darshan quota at 10 AM IST, usually on the 24th or 25th of the month, three months ahead of the darshan date. Accommodation in Tirumala and Tirupati follows the same day at 3 PM.

When will February 2027 TTD tickets be released?

Following the same three-months-ahead pattern, the February 2027 quota is expected between roughly November 18 and November 25, 2026, in the same order and at the same times as the monthly cycle.

Are Vaikunta Ekadasi 2026 tickets part of the regular monthly quota?

No. Vaikunta Ekadasi is expected on December 20, 2026, with Vaikunta Dwara darshan reported for December 20 to 29. In past years TTD has released Vaikunta Dwara darshan tickets separately from the monthly quota, with announcements typically in late November or early December. Treat these dates as tentative until TTD confirms them.

Where should I book TTD darshan tickets?

Only on TTD's official portal, ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in. Avoid look-alike websites and agents that claim to sell TTD tickets.

TTD announces the exact dates a few days before the first release. The Rs 300 Special Entry Darshan quota is usually released at 10 AM near the end of that window.

The Rs 300 Special Entry Darshan quota usually opens at 10 AM near the end of that window, and Tirumala and Tirupati rooms follow at 3 PM the same day.

TTD has not yet published the exact January 2027 dates. It normally announces them a few days before the first release, and we will update the table below as soon as it does.

Already released: November and December 2026

If you are planning a visit in November or December 2026, those quotas have already opened:

November 2026 darshan was released between 18 and 25 August 2026. Rs 300 tickets opened on 25 August at 10 AM.
December 2026 darshan was released between 19 and 24 September 2026. Rs 300 tickets opened on 24 September at 10 AM.

High-demand dates in these months are usually fully booked within minutes, so check the official portal for any remaining availability rather than relying on agents.

Vaikunta Ekadasi 2026: released separately

Vaikunta Ekadasi is expected on 20 December 2026, with Vaikunta Dwara darshan reported for 20 to 29 December. In past years, TTD has handled these days differently from the regular monthly quota:

The first few days have been allotted through an electronic dip (lucky draw) rather than first come, first served.
Rs 300 Special Entry Darshan and Srivani tickets for the remaining days have been released separately, outside the usual monthly cycle.
Announcements have typically come in late November or early December.

These Vaikunta Ekadasi details are based on previous years and third-party reports. Treat them as tentative until TTD publishes its official 2026 schedule.

Looking ahead: February 2027 tickets (releasing November 2026)

Following the same pattern, the February 2027 quota should open between roughly 18 and 25 November 2026, with Rs 300 tickets near the end of that window at 10 AM. We will publish the confirmed dates here once TTD announces them.

How to get ready before the window opens

Create and test your TTD account days in advance on ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in. Don't leave sign-up or OTP problems for release morning.
Collect every pilgrim's details now: full name exactly as on the ID, age, gender, and Aadhaar (or passport for some services) number.
Log in about 10 minutes early and keep that session open. Repeatedly refreshing at 10:00 can log you out at the worst moment.
Use a stable connection and one device. Switching tabs or devices mid-booking is one of the most common reasons people lose a slot.
Pick a backup date in case your first choice fills while you are filling the form.
