FULL STORY: The Savannah Bananas are coming to Chapel Hill. Can I still get tickets?
Here are key takeaways:
• Games: The Savannah Bananas play Saturday, April 11 and Sunday, April 12 at Kenan Stadium, where UNC-Chapel Hill hosts its home football games. They’ll face the Texas Tailgaters, another team in the “Banana Ball” entertainment baseball league.
• Tickets are sold out. UNC announced the games last fall, and all tickets distributed through an online lottery were gone the same day they became available.
• Resale is the only official option. Fans can look on the team’s resale marketplace, though spokesperson Sam Bauman told The News & Observer “there is no guarantee there will be tickets available however as it relies on people who are selling tickets back they may not need.”
• Watch out for fakes. The team warns that tickets sold on social media and third-party vendors such as StubHub and Vivid Seats are often counterfeit. Official ticket prices start at $35. “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,” the team wrote.
• What to expect: The Savannah Bananas are known for dance routines and flipping on the field. The team has made past stops in Durham in 2023 and 2024.
