How to reach ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium: the direct answer
ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium is on NH-16 at Pothinamallayyapalem, Visakhapatnam. Visitors arriving by train can continue from Visakhapatnam Railway Station, while air passengers can travel from Visakhapatnam Airport. P.M. Palem and Madhurawada are the useful bus and road references. Always check the gate, parking plan and traffic advisory for the specific match.
Before travelling, confirm that your fixture is still scheduled on the ACA–VDCA Stadium Matches page.

For bus travel, use P.M. Palem or Madhurawada as the destination area rather than searching only for central Visakhapatnam.

Parking at ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium
Public parking is not permanently guaranteed. For major matches, parking areas and approach routes are assigned by ticket category and current traffic planning.
A January 2026 advisory used separate authorised, ticket-category and off-site parking locations. That arrangement was match-specific and should not be reused as a permanent parking map.
Important: Check the current Visakhapatnam Traffic Police or organiser advisory before driving. Do not assume that the stadium gate nearest your route will accept your vehicle or ticket category.
ACA–VDCA Stadium tickets and entry
There is no permanent ticket platform for every event. The organiser announces the authorised online seller, sale date, ticket categories, entry gate and permitted items for each match.
For example, a December 2025 ODI used the District app for online sales. Treat that as a past event arrangement, not a guarantee for the next fixture. Avoid unofficial resale links and verify the seller through the event organiser or BCCI/ACA announcement.
Spectator capacity
The BCCI venue listing gives the stadium a capacity of 25,000. The number of tickets released for a particular match can be lower because of security zones, hospitality allocations, sightline restrictions and operational holds.
