Tirupati–Tirumala, 2 May 2026 – For darshan on 3 May 2026, the TTD released SSD tokens at 02:50 AM from the offline counters, and the total SSD quota was 13,000. The Divya Darshan (Sreevari Mettu Margam) quota was 2,000, both for next-day darshan only; according to the live status, balance tickets for 02-May-2026 were 0, and the running-slot page was already showing 11 on 02-May-2026 during the morning update.
-
SSD tokens were fully completed by 04:46 AM.
-
DD (Sreevari Mettu Margam) tokens were fully completed by 04:48 AM.
This is an extremely fast sell-out, showing that devotees had to arrive very early for any chance of securing tokens for 3 May darshan.
Crowd situation
-
02:50 AM release time is earlier than the previous day’s pattern, which usually helps manage a heavier rush.
-
Even so, 13,000 SSD tokens finished in just 1 hour 56 minutes, and 2,000 DD tokens were gone within 2 minutes after SSD completion, which points to very high demand.
-
On such days, arriving after 4:30 AM is generally too late for most devotees hoping for offline quota.
Devotee planning
-
For 3 May darshan, devotees should have reached the counters well before 02:30 AM, especially if planning to try for SSD tokens.
-
Those aiming for Sreevari Mettu DD tokens should not treat DD as a fallback option, because the quota also closed almost immediately.
-
If offline tokens are missed, the only practical option is to check TTD’s live status or choose a different darshan category/date.
