How many people are allowed on a 10,000 Rupee TTD Break Darshan ticket?

If you are planning a family trip, understanding this rule is essential for budgeting and booking correctly.

How many people are allowed on a 10,000 Rupee TTD Break Darshan ticket?

One of the most common questions we hear from devotees planning their Tirumala pilgrimage is: How many people can I take with me on a single ₹10,000 Srivani Trust VIP Break Darshan ticket?

If you are planning a family trip, understanding this rule is essential for budgeting and booking correctly. The answer is simple but has important nuances that every devotee must know before making their donation.

The short answer is: One ₹10,000 donation = one person. However, you can book for a maximum of four family members in a single transaction, but each person needs their own ₹10,000 donation.

Let us break this down in detail.

The Core Rule: One Donation, One Ticket

Under the Srivani Trust scheme, every ₹10,000 donation entitles only one devotee to VIP Break Darshan. In addition to the donation, you must also pay the ₹500 darshan ticket fee, making the total cost ₹10,500 per person.

This means that if you are a family of four, you need four separate ₹10,000 donations (total ₹42,000) for all four members to get VIP Break Darshan.

Example:

Family Size Donations Required Total Cost
1 person ₹10,000 + ₹500 ₹10,500
2 people ₹20,000 + ₹1,000 ₹21,000
3 people ₹30,000 + ₹1,500 ₹31,500
4 people ₹40,000 + ₹2,000 ₹42,000

The Family Booking Rule: Up to 4 Members Per Transaction

While the donation is per person, TTD allows you to book for up to four family members in a single transaction under the 1+3 format – one lead applicant plus three additional family members.

Key points about family bookings:

  • One booking transaction can include maximum 4 people (1 lead + 3 members)
  • Each member still needs their own separate ₹10,000 donation
  • The booking limit is per transaction, not per donation
  • Family members must be immediate family (spouse, children, parents)

The 7-Day Aadhaar Rule

TTD has also implemented a 7-day cooldown period for Aadhaar cards. Each Aadhaar card can be used to book one Srivani VIP Break Darshan ticket, and then it goes on cooldown for 7 days.

What this means for you:

  • You cannot book a second ticket on the same Aadhaar within 7 days
  • The system will reject the booking at the payment stage
  • You can use a different family member's Aadhaar for another booking
  • This rule applies per Aadhaar, not per person's name

Important: The ID used during booking must match the ID shown at Vaikuntam Queue Complex-1 at the time of darshan.

Children Under 12: Free Entry

There is good news for families with young children. Children below 12 years can accompany a ticket-holding adult free of charge.

Rules for children:

  • No separate donation or ticket is required
  • Must carry valid age proof (such as Aadhaar card or birth certificate)
  • The child must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult

Children above 12 years require a separate ₹10,500 booking just like adults.

2026 Booking Update: The Dedicated Donor Quota

TTD has introduced a major change in 2026 that affects how ₹10,000 donors book their tickets. Starting June 10, 2026, TTD reserves 300 tickets daily exclusively for devotees who have already contributed ₹10,000 to the Srivani Trust.

Key details of this quota:

  • Tickets are released online daily at 9 AM
  • Bookings completed before 1 PM qualify for darshan at 4 PM the same day
  • Eligibility applies to donations made on or after May 1, 2025
  • Unbooked tickets are merged back into the general quota

How to Book for a Family (Step-by-Step)

If you are planning to book for your family, here is what you need to do:

  1. Make separate donations: Each family member needs their own ₹10,000 donation. You can make multiple donations in one session.

  2. Book together: In the "Privileged Bookings" or "Srivani Booking" section, select the 1+3 family booking option.

  3. Enter all details: Provide the Aadhaar details of all four family members.

  4. Pay the ticket fees: Pay ₹500 per person for the darshan tickets.

  5. Download tickets: Save the final darshan tickets for all members.
