2024 Regular Season is Up
The 2024 season has been announced a month earlier than expected. You can find it by navigating the calendar below. The preseason schedule has yet to be released.
Of note, game starting times will most likely be announced in January. Please write me at Michael@JapanBall.com if you'd like to be notified when the schedule is updated and I start accepting requests. (Please do not send game tickets requests yet. My e-mail got a bit out of hand last year, so many requests got missed. It's not a feasible method to manage requests.)
Hope to get you to a game some time next season or beyond.
No Restrictions on Bags
A question I've been getting a lot lately is, "Can I bring my bag/backpack to the game?" YES! Bags and backpacks are allowed at all events in Japan. You may want to limit the size to something that will fit under the seat. The general rule is that, so long as it doesn't get in anyone's way, no problem.
On a related question, yes, DSLR cameras and large lenses are also allowed.
Giants.jp
I've gotten a number of notices from people telling me that the below schedule is wrong after looking at the Giants' Schedule. The issue is that the Giants' schedule site is converting all of the game times to the browser's time zone. And I'm guessing that the makers of the site don't know this is going on. It is causing quite a bit of confusion.
All dates and times on this site are local Japan Standard Time.
All prices are in US Dollars.
Games on schedule are listed by home team.
* denotes game at stadium other than primary home.
+ denotes game at alternative home (for some teams only).
Red denotes tickets not available.
Red struck out denotes tickets sold out.
Yellow text denotes ticket prices to be announced or limited availability.
