Why book the game this way
Why book the game this way
Booking a KBO game yourself takes some work
LG Twins tickets go on sale through the club's site and app seven days before each home game, at 11am, and popular dates sell out quickly. Other clubs sell through their own sites and platforms such as Ticketlink Global and NOL World, and some ticketing apps need a Korean phone number. The stadium also has a ticket-office window for international visitors, but its seats are limited and first come, first served.
The cheering is half the show
A cheermaster paces a platform above the dugout like a conductor, five cheerleaders run a routine that would fit a K-pop stage, and every player has his own chant set to a familiar tune. The LG Twins were the first club anywhere in baseball to hand out balloon sticks — the thundersticks now standard across the league — and Jamsil's third-base stands still wave them by the thousand.
Chimaek was invented for nights like this
Chimaek — chi(cken) plus maek(ju, beer) — is the typical Korean stadium meal, and Jamsil still sells it the same way: vendors carrying trays of fried chicken up and down the aisles, cold beer close behind. The meal in this package comes before the game, with a beer or soft drink at the game.
One stadium, two home teams
Opened in 1982 and used for the baseball events at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Jamsil is home to two clubs, the LG Twins and the Doosan Bears. It is due to be torn down after the 2026 season, with both clubs due to play at the Seoul Olympic Stadium from 2027 to 2031 while a domed ballpark is built. Check which club (and which colour) you'll be sitting behind before you book a date.
The night, inning by inning
The night, inning by inning
A KBO night at Jamsil follows its own running order, on top of the nine actual innings. Here's the shape of it, roughly as it happens.
Meeting at Sports Complex Station
The group meets at exit 1 or exit 8 of Sports Complex Station, as your booking messages confirm, with enough time before first pitch to get oriented and find the section.
Skipping the two ticket systems
The booking covers the game ticket, so there is no Korean booking system to work through; the gate is the line to stand in.
Finding the seats
Seating is arranged through the operator, and the booking does not guarantee a specific seat, so you may not know your section until the day.
First pitch
Starting lineups are introduced, the anthem plays, and the home crowd's cheer squad starts the first chant of the night before the pitcher has thrown a ball.
The cheer captain takes the platform
A cheermaster leads the stands from a small stage above the dugout, five cheerleaders run choreography between innings, and a different chant, set to a different tune, greets every player who steps to the plate.
The meal and the drink
The meal, usually Korean barbecue or fried chicken, comes before the game, and a beer or soft drink is included at the game.
The mid-game stretch, Korean-style
There's no quiet pause for a single song here — the cheer squad keeps the chants running through the middle innings, and a home run at any point sets off a fight song and a wave of thundersticks.
The Home Run Ball
Instead of peanuts and Cracker Jack, the KBO ballpark snack is Orion's Home Run Ball — a chocolate-filled puff shaped and stitched like a baseball, sold at Korean stadiums since the 1980s.
Final out and the walk to the subway
When the last out is recorded, the stands empty toward Sports Complex Station together.
Buying independently means working through each club's own booking system, and some ticketing apps need a Korean phone number, with a limited window for international visitors at the stadium as a fallback — which is the practical reason many first-time visitors book a package ahead rather than showing up and hoping.
Sports Complex Station, and getting in
Sports Complex Station, and getting in
A few practical things worth knowing about the stadium itself before match day.
Getting there
Jamsil Baseball Stadium sits inside the Seoul Sports Complex in Songpa-gu, served by Sports Complex Station on Seoul Metro Lines 2 and 9. The KBO lists Exits 5 and 6 for the stadium; the package's meeting point is exit 1 or exit 8.
Two teams, one stadium
The LG Twins and the Doosan Bears both call Jamsil home and share the stadium, so the crowd, the colours and the chants change depending on which club is playing that night.
What the package includes
A game ticket, a pre-game meal and one beer or soft drink; the booking does not guarantee a specific seat, and your group meets at Sports Complex Station.
Rain and schedule changes
On this booking, if there is a strong chance of rain the venue might be moved, and you get a full refund if you don't agree to the change.

Planning the night
Planning the night
Check who's playing before you book
The LG Twins and the Doosan Bears split the home schedule at Jamsil, and dates against the other club's closest rivals fill first — decide if you have a team preference before picking a date.
Dress for standing and cheering
The cheering sections spend long stretches of the game on their feet; comfortable shoes matter more than anything resembling formal wear, and evenings can turn cool even after a warm afternoon.
Bring a little extra cash
The meal and one drink are covered, but Jamsil's aisle vendors sell plenty more chimaek and snacks through the night if you want a second round.
Book ahead for weekends
As with any Jamsil date, Friday and weekend games — and anything against a rival club — are the first to fill, so a booking a few days out gives the widest choice of dates.

Jamsil Baseball Stadium questions
What's included in the Jamsil Baseball Stadium package?
A ticket to a live KBO game at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, a pre-game meal (usually Korean barbecue or fried chicken) and one beer or soft drink. The booking does not guarantee a specific seat. The whole night runs about 4.5 hours.
Why can't I just buy a ticket myself?
You can. LG Twins tickets go on sale seven days before each home game through the club's site and app, other clubs sell through their own sites and platforms such as Ticketlink Global and NOL World, and some apps need a Korean phone number. Rivalry games and games at Jamsil sell out quickly. The stadium also has a ticket-office window for international visitors, with limited seats.
Which teams play at Jamsil?
Jamsil Baseball Stadium is the shared home of the LG Twins and the Doosan Bears, who share the stadium. Check the fixture for your travel dates to see which club — and colours — you'll be sitting behind.
What food and drink do I get?
The meal is usually Korean barbecue or fried chicken and comes before the game, plus one beer or soft drink at the game. It's the same chimaek — chicken and beer — pairing Korean ballparks are known for; extra rounds are available to buy through the night.
What's the cheering culture like?
Loud and organised. A cheermaster leads the crowd from a platform above the dugout, five cheerleaders run choreographed routines between innings, and each player has his own chant set to a familiar tune. The LG Twins were the first club in baseball anywhere to hand out balloon sticks — the thundersticks now standard across the KBO.
Is it suitable for people who don't follow baseball, or for kids?
Yes — regular reviewers describe it working well for non-fans, since the atmosphere, the food and the cheering carry the night as much as the score does. It's a late evening out though, running to around 4.5 hours with a lot of standing and noise, worth weighing for very young children.
What happens if the game is rained out?
On this booking, if there is a strong chance of rain the venue might be moved, and you get a full refund if you don't agree to the change. The Twins refund online and card purchases automatically for games they cancel for rain or fine dust.
