The Savannah Bananas are bringing their antics to North Carolina.
The team — known for putting an energetic spin on baseball — is set to play two games in Chapel Hill next month. But if you’re a fan and don’t already have a ticket, you may be out of luck.
Here’s what the Savannah Bananas have shared online about their upcoming face-off, resale opportunities and whether tickets being sold through third parties are legitimate.
When and where are the games?
The Savannah Bananas are set to play Saturday, April 11 and Sunday, April 12 at Kenan Stadium, where UNC-Chapel Hill hosts its home football games. If you managed to snag a ticket, here’s the schedule for both days:
- April 11: Festivities kick off at 2 p.m. The game starts at 6:30 p.m.
- April 12: Festivities kick off at 10 a.m. The game starts at 2:30 p.m.
It’s not the first time the Savannah Bananas have stopped in the Triangle. They showed off their tricks at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park in 2023 and 2024, The News & Observer previously reported.
In Chapel Hill, the team will face the Texas Tailgaters, another team in the “Banana Ball” entertainment baseball league.
Are tickets still on sale?
As of Thursday, March 5, the Chapel Hill dates were listed as “sold out” on the Savannah Bananas schedule.
UNC made the Savannah Bananas announcement in the fall. Fans could request tickets through an online lottery, but all of them were gone the same day they became available.
“The only way to get tickets now would be to create a verified Banana Ball tickets account and check our new resale marketplace...,” Sam Bauman, a spokesperson for the team, told The N&O in a Friday, March 6 email. “There is no guarantee there will be tickets available however as it relies on people who are selling tickets back they may not need.”
Fans also may see tickets for sale on social media and through third-party vendors, such as StubHub and Vivid Seats. But the Savannah Bananas warn that those tickets are often counterfeit and may not get you into the game.
“Our tickets start at $35 when purchased directly from our official site,” the team wrote. “If you see tickets priced significantly higher, they may have been originally bought from us and are now being resold on third-party platforms, or they could be completely fake listings.”

These aren’t your ordinary baseball games. The Savannah Bananas are known for performing dance routines and flipping on the field, The N&O previously reported.
“Combining the Bananas’ innovation and excitement with the storied tradition of Kenan Stadium will create an unforgettable experience for fans across the state and beyond,” Rick Barakat, UNC deputy athletic director, wrote in an October news release. “The Bananas have redefined fan engagement in sports, and we can’t wait to see them take the field on campus at UNC this spring.”
UNC didn’t immediately share additional information with The N&O.
