r/NPBtickets

me and my brother want to go to a Hanshin Tigers home game.

with all the tickets sold out I've been reading post saying the best option is ticket jam

is the best option to buy electronic tickets on ticket jam?

Is not having a Japanese phone number going to cause problems?

what's the best way to avoid any problems with buying off of ticket jam as a foreigner?

can you buy tickets from scalpers outside of the stadium say 3 hour prior to gametime?

should we expect to get the live qr code or just screenshots of the qr code?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and sorry for all the questions.

We are looking at going to the September 21 game. we know it lands on a holiday and to expect higher prices

American looking to buy tickets to the game. They are playing in Osaka which seems to be neither teams home field so neither team site has tickets? Or is it sold out? If that is the case, I do see resale tickets available on viagogo and stubhub, but have heard mixed reviews on that. Any tips would be appreciated.

Hello all, I will be travelling to Japan and will be in Osaka from September 28th to October 5th. I would love to attend a Tigers game while there, and I see on their home schedule that they play Yakult on the 29th of September and the Giants on October 1st (preferred), but on the English website to purchase tickets, those games don't even show up as an option. Similarly, on Stub Hub, these games show up as only going on Sale at the end of August.

Can anyone explain why these tickets wouldn't be available yet, and whether they will become available through the e+ platform at a later date? I'd love to be able to snag them when they go on sale if that's the case

I waited and almost all solo options have been swooped up… (I am a Swallows fan and I doubt they will play tomorrow.) Looks like there are still some two-person package options for $65 a seat? Feels like a ripoff, but I’m off to Kyoto on Thursday… let me know!

Hello, my partner and I are traveling from Australia and one of her dreams is to see and experience a baseball game in Japan (massive Diamond no Ace fan). We are currently in Tokyo and were supposed to attend Yakult vs Carps today (11/8) that we got tickets for months ago but it got cancelled due to typhoon. We're leaving Tokyo tomorrow to travel around Japan and are arriving in Osaka on the 18th of August and we're looking to attend Hanshin vs Yakult game either 19th or 20th but all the tickets are sold out on the official website and 3rd party resellers I've heard are not trustworthy at all. Does anyone have advice on alternative options? Are there legitimate last-minute official resale channels, or is it worth heading to the Kyocera Dome box office on game day to check for released/returned seats? Cheers in advance <3

Hello! I’ll be visiting Tokyo from Oct 20-27 and I’m keen to watch a giants game. I understand that this could fall under the post season. When does the league release the schedule? Where are the best seats? When do they release tickets? Any tips for buying tickets? Appreciate any feedback that will be given.
