Mysuru Dasara 2026 is soon upon us and ticket booking for some of the festival’s central attractions is already open. The Nada Habba will be celebrated from 11th to 21st October 2026 with the grand Jamboo Savari on 21st October.
According to the official Mysuru Dasara website, visitors can book tickets for the Gold Card, Jamboo Savari procession, Torchlight Parade and Drone Show. Tickets for the Drone Show start at ₹1,000, while the Gold Card is priced at ₹6,500.
Mysuru Dasara 2026 Ticket Prices
The official ticket categories are currently listed as:
| Event | Ticket Price Starts From |
|---|---|
| Gold Card | ₹6,500 |
| Jamboo Savari Procession | ₹3,500 |
| Torchlight Parade | ₹1,500 |
| Drone Show | ₹1,000 |
The Gold Card offers access to those major attractions, and individual tickets are available for specific events.
What does the ₹6,500 Gold Card include?
The Mysuru Dasara Gold Card is priced at ₹6,500 and is for visitors who want access to all major attractions in one package.
In the official FAQ, the Gold Card includes entry to Mysuru Palace, Chamundi Hill, and Mysuru Zoo, along with access to the Jamboo Savari procession, Torchlight Parade and Drone Show.
The package could therefore be useful for visitors who want to visit some of the major Dasara attractions and not just to book each event separately.
However, the booking and redemption instructions should be noted before buying the card.
Jamboo Savari Tickets From ₹3,500
The grand Jamboo Savari will take place on October 21. The official website holds tickets for gallery seating at the Palace starting from ₹3,500.
The procession will travel approximately 5 km from the Palace to Bannimantap. The ceremonial programme begins with the Nandi Dhwaja puja, followed by Pushparchane and the procession's departure from the Palace.
Importantly, visitors do not need a ticket to watch the procession along its public route. The five-kilometre route is open for free public viewing. The tickets are for gallery seating at the Palace and Bannimantap only.
Torchlight Parade Ticket Price
The Torchlight Parade at Bannimantap is another ticketed attraction. The tickets start at ₹1,500.
The official website lists the Torchlight Parade on October 21 and its rehearsal on October 20. The Bannimantap gallery ticket provides access to the designated seating area.
The parade has cavalry, bands, daredevil performances, and a laser show.
Drone Show Tickets From ₹1,000
The Drone Show is available as a separate ticketed attraction, with prices starting at ₹1,000.
The official Mysuru Dasara website currently lists drone shows at Bannimantap at 8 PM on October 17, 18, 20, and 21.
Unlike Gold Card and Jamboo Savari tickets, the Drone Show provides free seating in the designated enclosure, according to the official FAQ.
Are All Mysuru Dasara Events Ticketed?
No. Some of the major Dasara attractions can be enjoyed without purchasing a ticket.
The official FAQ states that the entire Jamboo Savari route, Palace illumination, cultural stages, Flower Show, Aahara Mela, and public enclosures at Bannimantap are free to access.
The Palace is lit up every evening during the festival from 7 PM to 10 PM, subject to weather conditions.
Therefore, tourists in Mysuru do not necessarily need to purchase a premium ticket to attend Dasara.
Seating Details of Dasara Tickets
One of the major differences for visitors is the seating clarification.
According to the official FAQ, seat numbers are printed on Gold Card and Jamboo Savari procession tickets. The Torchlight Parade and Drone Show provide free seating within their respective enclosures.
Booking online through TicketGenie generates a redemption voucher for visitors. Visitors need to exchange the voucher for the physical ticket or Gold Card according to the instructions given. A photo ID should also be carried at the event.
Where can I book Mysuru Dasara tickets?
The official Mysuru Dasara website lists TicketGenie as the official ticketing partner and authorised seller for the ticketed events. Visitors are advised to use the official ticketing route rather than rely on unauthorised sellers.
Before booking, visitors need to verify when the event will take place, ticket type, seating details, redemption instructions, and entry conditions.
Mysuru Dasara 2026 Dates
Mysuru Dasara 2026 will be held from 11 October to 21 October. The Jamboo Savari will take place on 21 October, the grand finale of the festival.
For those who are planning their trip, booking accommodation and transport in advance may be useful in the last days of the festival, when visitor numbers are expected to be higher.
With ticket booking in progress, tourists can choose from premium ticketed experiences or the many free public attractions available during Mysuru Dasara 2026.
