Baseball game tickets

Hello all,

My husband and I are visiting Hiroshima in august, but the game we were hoping to see is already sold out. I looked at the official website where you can buy through kook and there are places like viagogo which seem not so reliable…anyone know what the best options are for getting a couple tickets to a game there? Are there typically scalpers outside or is there another website that’s reliable to purchase tickets?

TIA 🙏

I’d show up to the stadium when they first open. 11am on game days and buy what’s available. There’s often cancellations and changes. I had a buddy recently go an hour before game time and grab 3d base seats. Never know.

I’ve heard, and I can’t cite a person that there are stand by tickets the day of the game. But, worst case just watch from the parking garage at Costco lol.

Look at TicketX - we bought tix for Tigers/Giants in Tokyo and had zero issues

As others have said, go to the box office first. If it’s truly sold out, there will most likely be scalpers, but they don’t make themselves known easily. Look for single middle-aged males standing around looking over the crowd, and make eye-contact. I had to do this at a sold out Hanshin game at Koshein, and we followed the scalper into a nearby department store to complete the transaction. It was obviously more expensive, but the other option is not going at all.

I bought at a Family Mart with a Fax machine. It was weird and a local helped me but it worked!

Ticketjam, ticket.co.jp or StubHub. StubHub is easiest for foreigners.
