Should be around Dec 20 onwards. Keep checking the website daily to know the exact date.
BTW, its like tatkal booking. All tickets will be sold out pretty fast, so watchout for that.

In recent times, TTD was releasing the SED quota for the next month between 20th to 25th of this month. But on Oct 22nd, they released the SED quotas for both Nov and Dec. So, it might happen that they release the Jan quota in Nov.

Best to keep checking the e-Seva website daily.

I know it sounds stupid, but does it makes sense to trust agents for SED. I called some random agent that appeared on google search and the guy claimed he can arrange SED as part of package for INR2150. Not sure if this can relied upon, any suggestions?

The easiest and genuine way for getting darshan now is go with ksrtc or aptdc packages if you are not keen on driving.
At least I can see available seats from Bangalore. Not sure any similar packages available from Pune.

We have special darshan tickets for this weekend. Any updates about
1. Floods in Tirupati town - and impact on traffic, restaurants etc
2. Status of darshans at Tirumala
3. Roads from Kadapa - Tirupati

1& 2. Heard from my friend that All is normal at Tirupati.

The Darshan is back. The disturbance was for just one day. The admin there was swift enough to get things back to normal in a day.

I’m surprised there are agents. I wouldn’t spend money on such people. The SED costs just 300/-

It’s hard to get the tickets these days and it’s a little unpredictable on when TTD opens slots for the subsequent month. But I’ve somehow managed the tickets in the recent path.

What month are you thinking of visiting?

Towards end Dec. I can see for some dates it shows quota not released yet for month of Dec, not sure when they might be opening it up.

l am considering to book KSRTC package as a last option, it nothing works out. problem with it though is that you must board the bus from Bangalore and its not allowed to join the trip from elswhere.

December Quota is all over. It was open few weeks back and all slots are filled.

The trick is to check on 19/20/21/22 of each month for the subsequent months. There is no fixed date on when they open the quota.

You can try for Jan. December is all gone.

KSRTC has a good package, if you can manage.

Any idea how Sarva Darshan tickets can be booked? I can see quota for month of Dec is not released yet.

TTD released the Sarva Darshan quota for Nov only through the e-seva website. Till Oct the Sarva Darshan tickets used to be available over the counters in Tirupati.

It is still not clear whether the Dec Sarva Darshan tickets will be released online or the usual ticket counters will be reopened.

Keep checking the e-seva website daily, they will update at least one day prior to releasing the quota. Do remember that the quota gets filled up within half an hour when released.

There are updates on Twitter that Sarvadarshan tokens will be available tomorrow morning i.e. 27th November at 9AM.

Nothing on Tirumala website though. Better to be online at 9AM tomorrow and try.

Any update on the flooding and road conditions in and around Tirupati/Tirumala ? Just wondering if all is well there after the last few weeks of torrential rain and damages to public infrastructure and property.

Edit:just saw an earlier post with an update from @jkrishnakj - Thanks!

The same update regarding Dec Ssarva Darshan tickets is posted on the e-seva website also now.

Not sure about the present situation. But more rainfall is predicted in Tirupati, especially over the next 3-4 days.
