More Ticket Information
How can I get tickets?
Join the Ticket Lottery List before it closes on November 1, 2025. Joining the list doesn't guarantee the opportunity to buy tickets. A random drawing will take place before the event for the chance to purchase available tickets. If you're drawn, you'll have an opportunity to continue through the verification process.
You can find the Ticket Lottery List at bananaball.com.
How much are tickets?
Our standard tickets start at $35 with Meet and Greet tickets starting at $100. No hidden fees, no tax, all bananas. Tickets for MLB and large venue games will start at $40 with Meet and Greet tickets starting at $125. We only sell tickets through our official lottery on FansFirstTickets.com. Any tickets for sale outside of this platform are likely fraudulent.
I thought tickets were $35. Why am I finding some online for way more than that?
Our tickets start at $35 when you purchase them from our site. If you find some that are WAY MORE than $35, those tickets may have been bought from us and are now being sold on a third-party platform that we cannot control or are completely fake listings. These third-parties include StubHub, VividSeats Ticketmaster, etc.
Warning: Tickets purchased through 3rd party sites are often fraudulent and will not be accepted. An overwhelming majority of people selling tickets on social media platforms are fraudulent. Please use extreme caution if you choose to go this route. Please know Banana Ball staff, cast, players, and coaches would never sell tickets through social media. We recommend reporting fake accounts impersonating others trying to do so.
Does when I join the Lottery List affect my chances at getting tickets?
The Lottery List is completely random so when you join the list will not affect your chance at getting tickets.
