The games also have a different way of acquiring tickets, which is through a lottery. The organization announces which cities its coming to the next season, and fans can enter a lottery. If you’re drawn, you’ll have an opportunity to continue through to the purchasing process. Tickets also sell for a flat rate ($35 or $40, depending on the venue) and are not sent to the buyer until 24 hours before the game to avoid resale. Banana Ball only sells tickets through its official lottery on FansFirstTickets.com . "Any tickets for sale outside of this platform are likely fraudulent," the organization says. More information on the next season, including which cities will host games, will be revealed on Oct. 15. Founder Jesse Cole said on LinkedIn earlier this year that the organization has heard from more than 200 cities – and even other countries – about wanting to host games. Venues hosting games in 2027 could include more minor and major league ball parks, NFL stadiums and college football stadiums (which, by the way, a photo of The Big House was shown in Cole’s video). Cole said they’re also talking to some "wild" venues that "you would never expect to host a sporting event."
