The Savannah Bananas are bringing their traveling circus of a baseball show to downtown San Antonio for the first time, booking the Alamodome for a two-night stand against the Texas Tailgaters on September 10 and 11, 2027. Fans hoping to snag a seat have only days left to get in line, because the team isn't selling tickets the normal way this time.
No Tickets Yet, Just a Waitlist
Instead of a traditional on-sale date, the Bananas are requiring fans to join an official Ticket Lottery List before it closes Saturday at 11:59 p.m. ET, according to milb.com. The league's site confirms the Alamodome dates and location, 100 Montana St. in San Antonio, and notes the games will mark the first Alamo City appearance for the Savannah Bananas, as Axios reported. The team describes itself as a source of family-friendly entertainment built on antics, gimmicks and showmanship, and features pitcher Danny Hosley on its roster, as WOAI News 4 reported.
Signing up does not mean a ticket is waiting. The league's help desk states plainly that the lottery is the only official way to register interest in tickets for the 2027 Banana Ball World Tour, and the team's own ticket page warns that joining the list doesn't guarantee the opportunity to buy tickets. A random drawing will take place before the event, determining which fans even get a chance to purchase what's available. Anyone selected will be contacted directly with next steps, per the Alamodome's event listing, and each person is limited to one valid lottery entry for a single city.
What It Will Cost If You're Picked
For those who do get drawn, standard tickets for the large-venue Alamodome games will start at $35, while Meet and Greet packages start at $150, per the same milb.com listing. The site also cautions that tickets bought through third-party resale sites are often fraudulent and won't be honored at the gate, so fans are urged to stick to official channels once sales open.
The San Antonio stop is part of the larger 2027 Banana Ball World Tour, which will send the team overseas for international games for the first time, according to KSAT. Axios describes Banana Ball as wildly popular, with games built around dancing umpires, trick plays and novelty rules that have turned the sport into a traveling spectacle rather than a straightforward ballgame.
Tailgaters Have Sold Out Before
The Texas Tailgaters, the Bananas' opponent for the Alamodome dates, aren't strangers to San Antonio. They faced the Party Animals at Wolff Municipal Stadium in 2025 and returned this year to take on the Loco Beach Coconuts, per Axios. The Alamodome's own event page notes the Tailgaters have played in front of sold-out crowds the past two years at Nelson Wolff Stadium, a track record that helps explain why a much larger downtown venue is now in play for 2027.
