How much do garba tickets cost in Ahmedabad?

How does entry work?

Events on FacePass use face-recognition entry. After booking, you do a one-time face scan (a short selfie) in the app or on the web. On the night, you walk up to the gate camera and are recognised in under a second — there is no QR code to screenshot, nothing to print, and nothing to fumble for in the dark. It is the fastest way into a busy garba night.

Gender-wise entry

Ahmedabad garba events have separate entry lanes for men and women. Your gender is captured when you book, so you are routed to the correct lane automatically.
