If you find yourself in South Korea, attending a baseball game at one of their vibrant stadiums should be high on your list. Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing this unique cultural phenomenon firsthand, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment you step into the stadium, you're engulfed in an atmosphere unlike any other. The energy of the fans is electrifying, reminiscent of a World Series Game 7, yet somehow even more intense. What struck me most was the continuous cheering and support for every single batter, maintaining a fever pitch throughout the entire game. It's a testament to the passion and dedication of Korean baseball enthusiasts. One of the most surprising aspects was witnessing the fans' impeccable cleanliness. Throughout the game, fans diligently picked up their own trash and disposed of it responsibly after the game ended. It's a remarkable display of respect for the stadium and fellow fans, setting a standard that impressed me deeply. Before entering the stadium, fans stock up on delicious local snacks and beverages from nearby vendors. The area around the stadium buzzes with activity as numerous stores offer a variety of culinary delights, from traditional Korean street food to modern snacks and refreshments. It's a food lover's paradise and adds to the overall festive atmosphere of the event. Overall, my experience at the South Korean baseball stadium was nothing short of fantastic. Whether you're a sports enthusiast or simply curious about Korean culture, attending a baseball game here offers an authentic and exhilarating glimpse into local life. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in the passion and energy of Korean baseball fandom—it's an experience you'll cherish long after the final pitch.

GREAT place to catch a baseball game and an awesome stadium. Take this from a non-baseball/sportfan who doesn’t speak Korean either. I decided to go to a Korean baseball game when visiting Seoul because I’ve heard how much Koreans love this sport. Don’t bother trying to get the tickets online (too complicated). I arrived about one hour before the game to the stadium and bought ticket at the booth. Because it happened to be the opening game of the season, some of the “better” seats were sold out. We got 2nd lowest tier seats which cost KRW18,000 (cheap! Compared to game tickets in Canada) Was a bit worried about the seats because the ticket says “obstruction”. When we got to our seats, it was no problem at all. We were seated in front of a short clear glass so that’s totally fine. Everyone seems to know the team’s song and every player seems to have their own little chant. Another difference in sporting game in Korea: you can bring your own food and drinks (alcohol included). There are multiple vendors inside selling both Western and Korean food, also snacks. The price of food and drinks inside are not outrageous so it is very enjoyable experience. Only caution is that there is only weak beer in the stadium… I wished I had brought soju with me. To top it all off they had fireworks at the end (I think because it was the opening game) which was no joke. Caution to foreigners: there’s practically no English throughout the game. But I can say it was still very fun (I don’t know any Korean either). Overall I highly recommend to visit!!!

Absolute 10/10 experience. We read so much online about buying tickets to a game as foreigners, and it didn’t seem easy. One thing we found said to get to the park 2 hours before the game started to get tickets, so that’s what we did. Turns out the ticket booth actually opened 90 mins before the game, but there was quickly a huge line behind us, so we were glad to have arrived when we did. Tickets were easy to acquire at the counter and cheap (about $12 per person for the red section). The orange is the best section, then blue, but both were sold out when we arrived. The red is in front of the box where the dancers dance and perform and lead the cheers/chants/songs, so try to get orange if you can!!!!! The atmosphere of the game was INCREDIBLE! It was so fun and noisy the whole time. The fans were loud and proud. It was so much fun! And I am typically not a baseball person because it tends to be long and slow, but this was an awesome experience. It seemed like every time things got slow, the dancers would perform to keep spirits up. There’s also tons of food and drink everywhere for good prices! It’s easy to access and get back to your seat. I definitely recommend this to everyone who visits Korea!

Please check this comment if you are planning to visit on Friday and the weekend. It is extremely difficult to get a single ticket on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Tickets are sold out as soon as it opens and even Koreans can not buy a ticket. The only chance you can get a ticket on these days are when the home team is playing against "SSG Landers", "NC Dinosaurs", "Kiwoom Heroes", and "KT Wiz" since they do not have lots of fans. Otherwise, do not come to the stadium. You would not get a single ticket and ruined your trip. I saw so many foreigners came to the stadium without a ticket, assuming they could buy one. If you do not have a time to visit on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, then I strongly suggest going to Gocheok Skydome(an hour from here) if they have a game(check before you go) and NOT playing against KIA Tigers(100% Sold Out) or Lotte Giants. The tickets are there even at the weekend. Please like this comment so other people can also see this comment.

MUST VISIT! This place is just incredible. I cannot explain how surreal it felt to witness a baseball game here! I’m not a fan normally and have no idea what the rules are but my god the Korea crowd are incredible. They are so lively and make the atmosphere feel like a million people are inside the stadium. Everyone’s so friendly. We bought baseball jerseys and ended up sitting in the wrong teams crowd! They did not care and were so friendly! People say to buy tickets on the day but we were not lucky and they sold out instantly even arriving 2 hours early. I suggest if you’re staying in an airbnb, hostel or hotel to ask your host if they’re able to buy the tickets for you. There’s so websites that help you as well but it’s very confusing and they charge a fortune. Our host booked them for £5 each and we had no issues! 10/10 atmosphere and a must visit in Seoul! Food outside and inside the stadium but limited. Games are like 4/5 hours long.

A great experience watching a live baseball game here. Prices are 8,000 kow for outfield, 11,000 for up behind the diamond and 14,000 for the red seats, where the cheerleaders are (behind the diamond bit closer down). We went to the outfield but I would recommend getting the 11,000/14,000 ones for the best experience. Beers at the stadium go for 4-6 dollars a cup. In the conviniet store in the entrance they go for 4 dollars a litter and I would recommend buying some cheaper beer outside as youre allowed to bring in whatever you want (other than glass and cans - but they don't check at all). Food around the stadium is not so cheap, but ok, 20 dollar pizzas and 7 dollar burgers. I would say buy some snacks in a supermarket before and than just buy one thing outside of the stadium. You are aloud to leave and than come back at any time (they stamp you) so you could always buy outside stuff. Go bears!
