IPL 2025: RCB announce ticket refunds after match against KKR washed out

Royal Challengers Bengaluru announces full refunds for abandoned IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders due to persistent rain

Bengaluru, May 18

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have announced ticket refunds for their match against Kolkata Knight Riders at M. Chinaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, which was abandoned without a ball being bowled, due to persistent rain on Saturday.

"As the game between RCB and KKR on 17th May 2025 was abandoned due to inclement weather, all valid ticket holders are eligible for a full refund, the franchise said in a statement.

Digital ticket holders will be issued a refund within 10 working days to their original account used to book the tickets. In case you do not receive the refund by May 31, kindly send an email to refund@ticketgenie.in with booking details to escalate the matter.

Physical ticket holders are required to surrender their original ticket to the respective official source from where they purchased the tickets, in order to claim a refund. Refunds are not applicable for complimentary tickets," it added.

Earlier, RCB announced the refund of tickets for matches at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, originally scheduled on May 13 and May 17, which were postponed due to a one-week suspension of the IPL 2025 because of tensions between India and Pakistan.

After Saturday's washout, both RCB and KKR were awarded one point each. RCB moved atop the points table with 17 points from 12 games and drew closer to a confirmed berth in the playoffs, while KKR with 12 points from 13 games were knocked out of the top four contention.

RCB will now host Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 23 before travelling to Lucknow to face Lucknow Super Giants in their final league fixture on May 27. RCB might secure their place in the final four even before playing their next game as they will go through if Punjab Kings or Delhi Capitals lose on Sunday.

Good move by RCB! 👏 But why does Chinnaswamy Stadium still not have proper rain covers? Every year same story during monsoon season. Other stadiums manage to protect the pitch better. #RCB should invest in better infrastructure.

As a KKR fan, this washout hurts! 😭 We needed that win to stay in playoff contention. But fair play to RCB for handling refunds properly. At least they're being transparent unlike some other franchises who make fans run around for refunds.

The real issue is IPL scheduling! Why have matches in Bengaluru during peak monsoon? BCCI should use weather data better when making fixtures. Fans spend thousands on tickets+travel only to see no game. #BetterPlanningNeeded

At least RCB is consistent - consistent in reaching playoffs and consistent in having washed out matches! 😂 On serious note, good to see them topping table despite all disruptions. Maybe this is finally their year? #EeSaalaCupNamde

The article mentions postponed matches due to India-Pakistan tensions. While player safety is important, sports shouldn't get mixed with politics. IPL is our happy space - let's keep it that way. Rain is unavoidable but politics in sports is avoidable.
