There is a particular number of seats under tatkal quota and tickets are given on first come first serve basis. To use this service, one has to check for ticket availability.

Sale of tatkal e-tickets open just two days prior to journey excluding the date of departure. IRCTC also has provisions for discounted tickets for senior citizens. Payment modes include cash cards, debit cards, and credit cards through IRCTC Mobile and other online mediums.

Online booking of ipl 2012 tickets is placed here. The fifth edition of the Indian Premier League will be played in 2012. It was a thrilling fourth edition of the IPL in 2011, with the two extra teams added to the roster of the eight existing ones, making it a gamut of ten teams. There were 74 games played in the tournament, which were 14 more than what happened in the first three seasons, but what did not change from the 2010 edition of the IPL was the winner.
