Savannah Bananas 2027: 19 Grayson dates, lottery closed

The Savannah Bananas will play 19 games at Grayson Stadium in 2027, according to the 2027 Banana Ball World Tour schedule the team has published. The home dates run from Friday, March 12, to Saturday, Sept. 4. A multi-team event at Grayson follows on Thursday, Sept. 16.

Updated Nov. 1: the ticket lottery closed at 11:59 p.m. ET Saturday, Oct. 31, and the team’s help desk shows no extension. Late entries are not accepted. Fans who entered hear “this winter.”

The main way to buy tickets was the team’s lottery. It opened Oct. 15 when the team’s Selection Show ended, and it closed at 11:59 p.m. ET Saturday, Oct. 31.

The team is blunt about the odds at home. “Savannah is one of the hottest tickets on the entire tour,” its help desk says. It “strongly” recommends that fans look at nearby cities or a new destination instead.

The 2027 home dates

All 19 home games are at Grayson Stadium, according to the team’s schedule. Game times are listed as “TBA.”

There are no home games in June. August is the busiest month, with six.

How the ticket lottery works

The rules come from the team’s own help desk:

• Deadline: entries closed at 11:59 p.m. ET Saturday, Oct. 31. Late entries are not accepted.
• One city per person: each person gets one valid entry for one city. If you submit more than once, only one entry counts.
• What you need: a phone number that can take text messages and an email address you check. Enter through the form linked from BananaBall.com.
• Who can enter: residents of the United States, Canada and Mexico only.
• Special events: a separate opt-in records interest in special events. The team says it does not count against your one city.
• If you are drawn: you can buy up to five tickets.
• When you hear: fans with valid entries will get an update on their status “this winter,” the team says. Keep the confirmation email and your submission ID.

Entering does not guarantee a chance to buy. “Not every lottery entry is drawn,” the team says.

What tickets cost

The team publishes its price ranges. It says the price shown is the price paid, with no added fees or taxes at checkout.

• Standard tickets at smaller venues start at $35, rising by seating zone.
• Standard tickets at MLB and larger venues start at $40 and run up to $125.
• Banana Ball Backstage tickets, which include a meet and greet, start at $100 at smaller venues and $125 at larger ones.

Season memberships in Savannah are full, and the team says it cannot offer new ones for the coming season.

Watch out for resale listings

Tickets are sold only through the lottery and the team’s Fans First Tickets site. The team warns that listings on StubHub, Vivid Seats or Ticketmaster are often fraudulent and will not be accepted at the gate. It says reselling above face value breaks its policies. It also says “an overwhelming majority” of ticket offers on social media are scams.

For Grayson games, the team suggests clicking “Notify Me” on its marketplace to hear about any listings at face value.

Bananas games closer than you might think

If Savannah is a long shot, the schedule has Bananas games elsewhere in the Southeast:

• Saturday, Feb. 27: Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn, Alabama
• Friday-Saturday, May 7-8: Tropicana Field in the Tampa Bay area of Florida
• Thursday-Friday, June 10-11: Truist Park, Atlanta

Other Banana Ball teams, without the Bananas, play at VyStar Ballpark in Jacksonville, Florida, on March 5-6 and at Pelicans Ballpark in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on March 18-20.

Every game streams free on the home team’s YouTube channel, the schedule page says.

What it means for you

• The lottery is closed. If you entered, keep your confirmation email and submission ID and watch your texts and email this winter.
• If you missed it, the team’s route for Grayson games is the “Notify Me” button on its marketplace, which alerts you to listings at face value.
• Do not buy from StubHub, Vivid Seats, Ticketmaster or a social media seller. The team says those tickets may not get you in.
• Expect busy evenings around Grayson Stadium on the home dates above, most of them Thursday to Saturday.
• Questions go to the team’s ticket line at (912) 712-2482, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
