IIFA Awards 2027 Abu Dhabi tickets and prices

IIFA Awards 2027 Abu Dhabi tickets are now on sale through the official Etihad Arena booking page. The published categories range from Bronze at Dh100 to Silver at Dh200, Gold at Dh400 and Diamond at Dh600. The ticket page also lists the event as a public ticketed and invitation series, so some surrounding IIFA Weekend events may have different access rules.

That Dh100 starting price covers the Bronze category for the awards event. The official venue page is the place to check the live inventory and seating details before travelling to Yas Island; event listings can change faster than an awards-show seating plan.

Hosts, performers and how to watch IIFA 2027

Karan Johar and Varun Dhawan will host the main IIFA Awards. Salman Khan, Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Janhvi Kapoor are confirmed performers, while Pankaj Tripathi and Ali Fazal will host the IIFA Digital Awards, according to Gulf News.

The 2027 ceremony will also be livestreamed worldwide on YouTube for the first time. The planned coverage will include the awards show, celebrity conversations and behind-the-scenes content, giving fans outside Etihad Arena another way to follow the weekend.

For anyone attending, the event is at Etihad Arena on Yas Island on January 22 and 23, 2027. The official announcement describes it as IIFA’s fourth Abu Dhabi edition, continuing its partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Miral. tbreak has previously covered Miral’s planned AED 12 billion Yas Island investment, which forms part of the wider entertainment setting around the venue.
