Literally put a bag on your head. Don't forget to poke out holes that your glasses can fit through so you can see clearly.

Hey guys, baseball is back in Korea! Fortunately, I live in the city with the best baseball fans in Korea. Baseball is so much fun in Korea, and the best place to experience it is with the Lotte Giants in Busan. The stadium is big and provies you with a city view of tall apartment complexes and mountains.

The fans really are the best. Whether the team is winning or losing, you’ll experience the loud singing and cheering. After a few innings (and drinks), you might even make some new friends.

You can bring in outside drinks and food. They’ll check your bag at the door for glass, so purchase drinks in plastic containers only. There are a lot of savvy older Korean people who will approach you on your walk to the stadium, selling things such as chicken, kimbap, pork, pizza, beer, soju, soda, etc. Prices inside the stadium are not unreasonable as well.

As for tickets, you have four options:

1. You can purchase them at a Busan Bank (as a customer) the day before a game.
2. Use Internet Explorer and go to giantsclub.com. The website is in Korean and you will be required to type in your ARC card number. I’ve never successfully gotten this to work…
3. Buy tickets at the box office on game days (my most preferred option). The box office opens 3 hours before the game. I’d recommend going early on weekends.
4. Buy tickets from scalpers. They’re usually near the box office. Look at the tickets to make sure they’re the correct date.

Ticket prices are 7,500₩ for outfield or upper-deck seats. Seats on the 1st or 3rd base line are around 10-15,000₩. Seats in better spots are around 25,000₩.

Directions to the stadium: Take Metro Line 3 to Sajik, exit 1. Walk out and turn right. Box office will be up the ramp.
