the schedules can be found on the net in Korean, but generally games are at 6:30 on fridays, 5 on saturdays and 2 on sundays.

I suggest buying tickets from the adjummas in the subway if u only get there at 2, because you will wait a few hours in line.

It's a great time, fun in the sun, cheapish beer, and a lively crowd, i might end up goin again too.

Also, depending on who the home team is, Doosan or LG, the tickets are different prices. You can sit in the outfield during an LG game for about 6,000 won on a Sunday I think.

I believe tickets are 7,000 and 8,000 on a weekend or national holiday. If you are willing to sit way out in the outfield, then you can get a ticket for maybe 3,000 or so.

as i am a real girl when it comes to what i drink (meaning no beer) do they sell other alcohol? or is it easy to sneak it in? really like the idea of sitting in the sun drinking and watching the game.

Very easy to sneak anything in. Just like the rest of Korea, no rules are really enforced.

They have a sign at the stadium in Incheon that says 'No Ramyeon'. I saw no less than 50 cup ramyeons, and no one was making any effort to hide them.

They do enforce the law... so be careful. But you can bring it in LEGALLY as long as it's in a plastic bottle.

you picked a good game to go to. LG vs Doosan is one of the bigger rivalries in the KBO. Ticket prices will range from 4,000 (outfield) to 10,000 (infield box seat) for the Doosan games.



For the schedule in English and other KBO info, just check out the link in my sig.

The station is right next to the stadium. Like less than 100 metres.

I highly recommend the games. They're a lot of fun. LG stomped Doosan today. Should be a good 3 game series.
