I have no shame in admitting that I AM OBSESSED with all things Banana Ball. I regularly watch the games whenever they're televised, my social media feeds are packed with all sorts of dancing baseball players, special musical appearances during games (peep the All American Rejects photo below), and my favorite umpire with the best moves in the game...

Well, after the success of two sold out games at Yankee Stadium (49,000 each night) in September, the 2026 schedule has been released, and Banana Ball will return to the Bronx in April. Here's what you need to know to try and get your hands on tickets.

The Banana Ball Ticket Lottery

These aren't your typical tickets...

That's the first thing you see when you go onto the official Savannah Bananas ticket website, and it makes sense, because this isn't your typical baseball game, either.

Banana Ball uses a ticket lottery system where those interested in purchasing game tickets enter their information, and once it is submitted and then verified, there is a random drawing to purchase tickets for your selected city.

Tickets for Banana Ball games begin at just $35 if you go through their official ticketing website. For those people who have purchased tickets at astronomical prices to catch a game, those were resale tickets from third-party platforms. The Savannah Bananas warn fans to be careful and mindful when purchasing tickets from other sources, that they could be fraud and not accepted for entry into the game.

The ticket lottery for the 2026 season opened on October 9th, and will run through Halloween, October 31st, and when you enter during that time frame has no impact on your chances, as the drawing to purchase tickets is completely random.
