If you're a fan of baseball, South Korea is one of the most exciting places to catch a game. Baseball is one of the country’s most popular sports, and the KBO (Korea Baseball Organization) League draws thousands of passionate fans every year—including expats, travelers, and international students. From synchronized cheers to fried chicken and beer in the stands, Korean baseball games are full of energy. Expect drum-led chants, dancing cheerleaders, and plenty of fan culture you won’t find in Western leagues


But here’s the catch: buying KBO tickets can feel like trying to get seats to a K-pop concert—competitive, fast-paced, and confusing if you don’t speak Korean. Tickets often sell out within minutes of release. That’s where we come in.

Quick Summary: How to Buy Korean Baseball Tickets (2025)

  • 🏟️ KBO games are extremely popular and sell out fast — especially rivalry games.

  • 🎟️ Most tickets are sold on Korean-language apps, which can be difficult for foreigners.

  • 🧑‍💻 GoWonderfully provides English support to help you buy tickets, even for sold-out games.

  • 💳 You can pay via Korean bank transfer or international card (PayPal, Stripe, etc.)

  • 📱 Tickets can be sent directly to your phone via app or SMS.

Final Tips


What to Bring to a KBO Game


Bring sunscreen, a power bank, cash (if buying from vendors), and a small towel for summer games. Some stadiums also allow outside snacks and drinks.


Arrive Early for the Best Experience


Try to arrive at least 30–45 minutes early to get through security, buy snacks or merchandise and watch the pre-game cheer performance. You’ll also beat the crowd, especially for weekend KBO games.


Buy Team Merchandise at the Stadium


Most KBO teams sell official merch on-site, including team jerseys, fan towels, and foam fingers. If you're cheering for a specific team, wearing their gear helps you blend right in!


Check for Weather Delays (and Refund Policies)


Most KBO games are played outdoors and can be delayed or canceled due to rain. Be sure to check the forecast and ask GoWonderfully if refunds or reschedules are possible in case of bad weather.
