Is the ₹1,030 Express VIP Ticket Worth the Extra ₹650?
✅ YES — Worth It If:
- Visiting on Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday — queue regularly hits 90–120 minutes
- Traveling with senior citizens or children under 8 — standing 2 hours in Gujarat heat is exhausting
- You have a tight schedule (booked Ekta Cruise for 4:30 PM, can't waste 2 hours in queue)
- It's your one and only visit — don't risk missing the gallery due to sold-out slots
⏭️ SKIP IT If:
- Visiting on a weekday (Tue–Thu) — standard queue is only 15–25 minutes
- You're arriving at opening time (8 AM) — almost zero queue in first slot
- Budget is a priority — ₹650 saved per adult covers lunch for the entire family
