If you have been dreaming of a peaceful, time-efficient darshan at the Tirumala temple, you may have heard about the ₹10,000 Srivani Trust VIP Break Darshan ticket. The short answer is yes — you can absolutely get this ticket, and it is open to any devotee willing to make the required donation.
The ₹10,000 ticket is the most reliable and transparent way for ordinary devotees to experience a VIP Break Darshan — the fastest, most serene way to have darshan of Lord Venkateswara. Unlike the restricted Protocol VIP Darshan reserved for dignitaries, this pathway is accessible to everyone.
To understand what VIP Break Darshan actually entails and why it is so sought after, you may want to read our guide on what is VIP break darshan at TTD.
What Is the ₹10,000 Ticket?
The ₹10,000 ticket is part of the Srivani Trust scheme, officially known as the Sri Venkateswara Alaya Nirmana (SRIVANI) Trust. This trust was constituted in August 2018 to fund temple construction, renovation, and preservation across India.
Under this scheme, devotees make a minimum donation of ₹10,000 to the Srivani Trust and pay an additional ₹500 darshan ticket fee, totalling ₹10,500 per person.
What You Get for ₹10,500
- VIP Break Darshan with minimal waiting time (approximately 1 to 1.5 hours total)
- Close proximity to the Moola Virat (main deity) — you can get as close as 5 feet
- Peaceful, uncrowded darshan experience without the pushing of regular queues
- One Small Laddu as prasadam
- An 80G certificate for income tax exemption on your donation
Who Can Get the ₹10,000 Ticket?
Anyone. The Srivani Trust donation route is open to all devotees, regardless of background, status, or connections. You do not need:
- A recommendation letter from an MLA or MP
- Political connections or government status
- Special protocol access
This makes the ₹10,000 ticket the most accessible pathway for ordinary devotees who want a VIP Break Darshan experience.

2026 Updates You Must Know
Single Payment System
Previously, devotees had to donate ₹10,000 first and then compete for a ₹500 ticket separately — often leading to disappointment. Now, you can pay the total amount — ₹10,000 as donation plus ₹500 for the ticket, amounting to ₹10,500 — in a single online transaction.
You can now select an available darshan slot at the time of making the payment itself. Once the payment is completed, the ticket is instantly confirmed.
Important Warning
TTD has cautioned devotees to book Srivani tickets only through its official website and to avoid fake or unauthorized portals.
Family Booking Rules
One ₹10,000 donation qualifies only one person. However, TTD allows you to book for up to four family members in a single transaction (1+3 format). Each member still needs their own ₹10,000 donation.
Children under 12 can accompany a ticket-holding adult free of charge with valid age proof.
For a detailed explanation of family booking rules, you can read our guide on how many members are allowed for VIP break darshan in Tirumala.
What If the ₹10,000 Ticket Is Not Available?
If the ₹10,000 ticket is not available on your preferred date, you have several alternatives:
| Option | Cost | Waiting Time |
|---|---|---|
| ₹300 Special Entry Darshan | ₹300 | 2.5–5 hours |
| ₹500 Special Entry Darshan | ₹500 | 1–3 hours |
