How it works

The technology behind
the fastest queue join.

The full flow

From extension
to queue.

Here's exactly what happens from the moment you tap ⚡ to the moment you're in the queue.

Pick your match

Open the IPL 2026 tab. Filter by your team — CSK, SRH, PBKS, DC, or RR. Every home match with a District ticket link is listed. Tap the match card to navigate, or tap ⚡ to navigate and auto-arm in one go.

Sniper arms on the page

The extension injects a content script into the District event page. It begins checking every 2.5 seconds for any booking button — "Book Tickets", "Join Waitlist", "Join Queue", or similar. The toolbar icon switches to purple, and a live HUD appears bottom-right of the page.

Queue-Fair activates

When District opens a ticket drop, their Queue-Fair waiting room activates. If you're on the page when it opens, the sniper clicks the join button instantly — before the human flood hits. You may be redirected to a Queue-Fair waiting room page.

Passed through

Queue-Fair returns you to the District event page in first-come, first-served order. The sniper re-arms on the returned page and fires the booking button immediately. You receive a browser notification confirming you're in.

Understanding Queue-Fair

The waiting room
system.

District uses Queue-Fair to manage ticket demand fairly. Here's what that means for you.

What is Queue-Fair?

Queue-Fair is a virtual waiting room platform. When District expects high demand — like an IPL ticket drop — they activate it to prevent their servers from being overwhelmed and to ensure a fair, first-come-first-served experience.

When you land on the District event page and the queue is active, you're automatically placed in line. Your position is determined by when you joined.

Why the sniper is effective

Most people don't know exactly when the queue opens, and react slowly when the button appears. Ticket Sniper watches the page continuously and fires the click in milliseconds — not seconds.

Being first to join means a lower queue position, which directly improves your chance of getting a ticket before they sell out.

The pass cookie

When Queue-Fair releases you from the waiting room, it sets a signed browser cookie called QueueFair-Pass-*. This is your clearance to complete the booking. The sniper re-arms the moment you're back on District's page.

What the sniper cannot do

Queue-Fair's pass cookie is cryptographically signed and tied to your browser User-Agent. It cannot be faked, shared, or skipped. Ticket Sniper works with the queue system, not around it — it simply gets you in faster than anyone else.

Button detection

What the sniper
watches for.

Two passes run on every check — selector-based first, text-based as fallback.

Pass 1 — CSS selectors

Fastest method. Matches buttons by their class name or data attribute before reading any text.

button[data-testid*="book"]
button[class*="BookTicket"]
button[class*="waitlist"]
button[class*="queue"]
[class*="BookNow"]

Pass 2 — Button text

Fallback scan of every button on the page. Catches any button District adds without predictable class names.

"Book Tickets" / "Book Now"
"Join Waitlist" / "Join Queue"
"Get Tickets" / "I'm In"
"Express Interest"
"Reserve My Spot"
