The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has responded to social media claims regarding the security of the SRIVANI Trust darshan ticket booking portal, emphasizing that it is secure and has undergone significant technological upgrades since its launch in May 2019. The TTD has implemented measures to enhance transparency and convenience for devotees. Despite this, the organization acknowledged attempts by brokers using advanced technologies to manipulate the booking process. To combat this, TTD's technical teams are conducting continuous surveillance to identify and block fraudulent activities. The TTD also warned devotees about fake ticket rackets and unauthorized agents selling invalid tickets at inflated prices, stating that stringent actions are underway against such individuals. The booking system follows a strict ‘first-come, first-served’ policy, ensuring that any failed transactions return tickets to the pool for others to access. A recent complaint against a travel operator for charging extra fees has prompted police investigations into illegal ticketing operations.
