Reno truly is a destination for world-class entertainment, and we look forward to creating another incredible experience for our fans, visitors, and the entire region.”
“Bringing major events like Banana Ball to Reno Tahoe takes strong partnerships, and we’re proud to work alongside the Reno Aces to make its return possible,” said Mike Larragueta, President and CEO of Visit Reno Tahoe. “This kind of event does more than fill seats.

Banana Ball is a fast-paced, entertaining form of baseball debuted by the Savannah Bananas back in 2016. Since its founding, the phenomenon has turned into a six-team league with the addition of the two new teams last year. The Party Animals made their Greater Nevada Field debut in 2025 against the Texas Tailgaters. This time around, they will face off with one of the newest teams of Banana Ball, the Indianapolis Clowns.
BANANA BALL 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.

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 $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. We only sell tickets through our 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?
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. 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 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.
