Banana Bowl Ticket Lottery — How It Works & Timeline

The 2026 Banana Bowl is coming to Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, October 10.

Demand for Banana Bowl tickets is expected to be high, so tickets will be sold through the Banana Bowl Ticket Lottery.

How does the Banana Bowl Ticket Lottery work?

Entering the lottery gives you a chance to be selected for an opportunity to purchase tickets.

Entering the lottery does not guarantee tickets.

There is no cost to enter the lottery.

How do I enter?

Complete the official Banana Bowl Ticket Lottery sign-up before the lottery deadline.

You only need to enter once.

Once the lottery closes, we’ll randomly select fans who will receive an opportunity to purchase available tickets.

What happens if I’m selected?

If you’re selected, you’ll receive an email from Banana Ball with:

  • Your purchase date and time
  • A link to access the ticket sale
  • Information about purchasing your tickets

Being selected gives you an opportunity to purchase tickets. It does not guarantee that every ticket type, seating location or price level will still be available when you enter the sale.

What happens if I’m not selected?

Not everyone who enters the lottery will be selected.

If you’re not selected initially, keep an eye on your email. Additional opportunities may become available if tickets remain after earlier purchase windows.

What’s the ticket sale timeline?

Lottery Sign-Up Opens: Tuesday, August 18

K Club Sale: Tuesday, August 25

Season Ticket Holder Sale: Friday, August 28

General Lottery: Purchase opportunities will be communicated to selected lottery entrants after priority purchase windows.

We’ll email selected fans directly with their specific purchase information.

How much are tickets?

Tickets will range from $40–$60, with club and premium seating options starting at $75. Banana Ball Backstage tickets will start at $125.

Ticket options and seating locations are subject to availability.

Does entering earlier improve my chances?

No. As long as you complete your entry before the deadline, entering earlier does not improve your chances of being selected.

Can I enter more than once?

No. You only need to submit one lottery entry.

Multiple entries do not increase your chances of being selected.
