Official tickets sold out for Banana Ball in Texas. But you could work a game in your town

Forget peanuts and Cracker Jack — things are about to get bananas in Texas.

With trick plays, dance breaks and a wacky, high-energy spectacle that’s flipping baseball tradition on its head, Banana Ball is headed to the Lone Star State.

If you’ve never heard of the Bananas, think of them as the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball — where wild antics, nonstop entertainment and fan engagement take center stage. The traveling troupe features four teams: the Savannah Bananas, Party Animals, Firefighters and the new Texas Tailgaters.

Tickets sold out well before the season even began, drawing fans to professional sports venues nationwide with three NFL stadiums and 18 MLB parks on the schedule, including the iconic Yankee Stadium and Bank of America Stadium, the sixth-largest in the NFL.

Official tickets sold out. Are there other ways to get in?

Unfortunately, tickets sold out quickly through official channels and are no longer available directly from the team. But there may be other ways to watch the team:

• StubHub sometimes lists resale tickets, though often at prices significantly higher than the $35 tickets originally sold by the team.
• Facebook groups may have fans reselling or trading tickets.
• Local stadium options, like the Frisco Roughriders, offer alternatives, such as partial season memberships, hospitality suites, and group packages, which are also available for Banana Ball games.

However, the team strongly discourages third-party purchases. As the Bananas warn: “Only tickets purchased through Fans First Tickets are guaranteed to be the real peel! Warning: Third-party tickets are often fraudulent and will not be accepted.”

If you do choose this route, make sure to verify that your tickets are real.
