How TTD Online Quota Works
TTD releases online quota for darshan tickets and rooms 3 months in advance. The booking window opens at 10:00 AM / 11 AM / 3:00 PM sharp on the release date. Tickets for popular dates — especially weekends, festivals, and school holidays — sell out within minutes of opening.
A few things that has to be remembered.
- The timing is IST. Log in 5–10 minutes early, keep your Aadhaar number handy, and have the browser open on the booking page before release time.
- TTD’s official booking portal is ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in. Only book from this URL — Beware of fake booking sites.
- Each Aadhaar number can be used to book only once per quota cycle for the same date.
- If you miss the quota, the “What To Do When Everything Is Sold Out” section below covers your alternatives.
