| They don't. I've gone less than an hour before the game with about 20 students and tickets were easy to buy. The stadium isn't that large, so those cheap seats can still be fairly decent. You'll notice one side has the fans for one team and the other side has fans for the home team. Really weird compared to NA baseball. |

| I tried to go two weeks ago and the tickets were sold out. I was there about an hour and a half before the game. It depends on who's playing. |

yeah that's what i'm worried about. it's a bears game, not sure who they're playing. plus it's a sunday and it seems like koreans are more into baseball recently. |

| I don't understand Korean baseball. LG Twins and Doosan Bears. How do people choose a team to cheer for? Whichever company they like best? |

| They're playing Samsung at least according to this ugly [url=schedule]http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/7391/2010schedule.jpg [/url]. So it's 2nd vs. 3rd place and it's on a weekend. I would go early to buy tickets. Can't you buy them through an ATM? |

Despite not saying so in the names, the teams also represent different areas/regions.

However, the LG Twins and Doosans Bears play their home games at the same field. Then I guess it's a matter of whatever determines whether a New Yorker will become a Jets fan or a Giants fan. |

Two years ago, it wasn't that hard to buy tickets. Then the K baseball team rocked in the Olympics, and all of a sudden everyone goes to the games. I used to go all the time, but last year I went twice and was sold non-existent seats (I got four tickets but there was nowhere to sit).
Funny how you get a seating assignment for a movie but not a ball game. |

| You can buy reserved seats. they're more expensive and not all tha much better. Go early and grab a seat in front of the cheerleaders. |

yup, if you buy the general admission. But people do also sit on the stairs and such, but I doubt it's a comfortable way to watch the game.
On the plus side, you're free to bring in whatever food and drink you like. |
