Guide to watching a Korean baseball game for the first time | Experience the most passionate cheering culture!

If you ask me, besides eating fried chicken and visiting Hongdae, what else are the must-do things when traveling to Korea? I would answer without hesitation: "I must go to a baseball game in person!" Even though I only have a vague understanding of baseball rules, I was still very surprised by the viewing experience this time. I fully felt what it means to have "souls burning together in the stadium"! ｜How to buy tickets｜ We bought the tickets directly on site (yes! It was so last minute) Don't worry about language problems, the counter staff speaks fluent English and communication is barrier-free! We said we wanted to watch the game for the first time and experience the atmosphere, and they recommended a very suitable area. The whole process was fast and friendly. ｜Competition location & transportation｜ This time we visited the Jamsil Baseball Stadium. Take the subway line 2 to the Sports Complex (218) station and follow the crowd. The stadium is right outside the station, so there is no need to worry about getting lost. ｜Ticket Prices & Preparation｜ We bought a green zone ticket for the day for about 20,000 won and the location was great It is recommended to arrive early to buy fried chicken, drinks, and snacks before entering the venue, so that you can integrate into the local community while eating and watching And the Korean support is super exaggerated and not boring at all If you have enough time, you can review the basic rules of baseball in advance, which will make it easier for you to get into the game. Otherwise, the audience will just keep asking "Who wins now?" ｜Suggestions｜ There will be a large crowd after the game, so it is recommended to leave 5-10 minutes early to avoid the crowded subway (otherwise it will really be like New Year's Eve)! There are always long queues to use the restroom. Even if you don’t understand baseball, don’t follow celebrities, and don’t have a particular favorite team, as long as you come to Korea, like the hustle and bustle, and want to experience the local culture, then "going to a baseball game" will definitely be one of the most unforgettable memories of your trip! #MarchGoodPlaces2025
