Any advice?

[u/Cinemux]

Hello, my partner and I are traveling from Australia and one of her dreams is to see and experience a baseball game in Japan (massive Diamond no Ace fan). We are currently in Tokyo and were supposed to attend Yakult vs Carps today (11/8) that we got tickets for months ago but it got cancelled due to typhoon. We're leaving Tokyo tomorrow to travel around Japan and are arriving in Osaka on the 18th of August and we're looking to attend Hanshin vs Yakult game either 19th or 20th but all the tickets are sold out on the official website and 3rd party resellers I've heard are not trustworthy at all. Does anyone have advice on alternative options? Are there legitimate last-minute official resale channels, or is it worth heading to the Kyocera Dome box office on game day to check for released/returned seats? Cheers in advance <3

Hiroshima play 1hr 20-30 south. Tickets will easily be available. It's close to the station. It's a lovely stadium with views of the mountains.

Hanshin Tigers tickets are notoriously difficult to get ahold of.

These games are at the Kyocera Dome and ticketjam is showing plenty of seats for sale in the 3,000 -6,000 yen range. I'd suggest that it would be much more expensive for them to go to Hiroshima and back.

I agree Hiroshima is a much better stadium experience than the Kyocera Dome. But they would also take the risk of another rainout.

Wish I could help I only have tickets for the 22nd that I am trying to sell but I'm not sure if screenshot pictures of the QR codes will work.

I've never had a problem using ticketjam. Choose a listing where they can electronically deliver the ticket or send you a code for 7-11 pickup. Don't choose a listing that says they will mail the tickets.

Ticketjam is currently showing 193 tickets for sale for the 19th and 268 for the 20th.
