TICKET FAQ:
How can I get tickets? Join the Ticket Lottery List before it closes on October 31st, 2026 at 11:59pm ET. 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 be communicated with directly as to your next steps.
You can find the Ticket Lottery List at BananaBall.com.
How much are tickets?
Standard tickets start at $35 with Meet and Greet tickets starting at $125. No hidden fees, no tax, all bananas. Tickets for MLB and large venue games will start at $35 with Meet and Greet tickets starting at $150. Tickets are only sold through the official lottery on BananaBall.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?
Banana Ball tickets start at $35 when you purchase them directly through the Banana Ball official website. If you find some that are WAY MORE than $35, those tickets may have been bought from the Bananas 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. Occasionally, the venues hosting Banana Ball may sell a portion of the premium or suite tickets. Those tickets may be priced and sold exclusively by the venue. Please treat all tickets outside of Fans First Tickets with caution.
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 joining 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 chances of getting tickets.
