The Savannah Bananas are booked for two nights of Banana Ball at UNC’s Kenan Stadium on April 11 and April 12, 2026, and the team’s official ticket allotment for Chapel Hill is already marked sold out. Fans who missed out on the ticket lottery are now staring at steep resale prices, along with repeated warnings from the team about fake listings. If you are still trying to get inside Kenan, your realistic paths are limited to a suite or other premium seat, a verified resale on a major marketplace, or waiting for someone to resell a face value ticket.
Kenan doubleheader
UNC announced that the Bananas will face the Texas Tailgaters at Kenan Stadium on April 11 and 12, 2026, marking the team’s first appearance at the on-campus venue, according to UNC Athletics. The Bananas’ own touring calendar also lists Chapel Hill among the April stops on the national run, per Officially Bananas.
Why do seats disappear so fast
To manage demand, the Bananas used a ticket lottery that closed on October 31, 2025. The team’s ticket FAQ notes that standard admission starts at $35 and Meet & Greet packages begin at around $100, according to The Savannah Bananas. As reported by The News & Observer, the Chapel Hill dates showed as sold out on official schedule pages, and the club cautions that tickets bought on social media or unauthorized third-party platforms may be fraudulent.
Where to look if you still want in
The most reliable official routes now run through venue and premium-sales channels. UNC’s announcement explains that suites, clubs and other premium spaces are handled by the host venue, so fans should contact the Rams Club or the UNC ticket office about any remaining premium inventory, according to UNC Athletics. On the secondary market, listings for the Chapel Hill dates are already well above face value, so anyone considering a resale purchase should verify the seller and lean on marketplace transfer protections; for example, SeatGeek is showing multiple tickets priced in the triple digits.
Beware the scams
The Bananas’ official ticket FAQ, echoed in UNC’s release, stresses that the team only sells through its FansFirst platform and that tickets offered outside those channels may be fake, according to The Savannah Bananas. Local outlets, including WRAL, have amplified those cautions and urged fans to avoid social media deals that look too good to be true.
