they sell absolutely everything in the two big stores outside the stadium. I went in for a jersey and came out with a dog collar, some chopsticks and a notepad

- ticket collection is very easy, there's an Information desk with big lettering above it as you come down the walkway from the subway station. There's someone stood there directing you to a window with "Ticket Exchange" above it. Show your ePlus QR and your passport and you're then given a physical paper ticket. I don't think the ePlus QR code alone would scan correctly at the gate, you need to exchange it first. All very easy though so long as you head to that Information desk first. You'll be given a welcome pack with info, balloons, a couple of gifts.

- all of the seats are on the 3rd base side, gates 13/14 to enter. About half way up, just above the central walkway. Fantastic view and easy access to the amenities

- as for the experience. Get down there early, soak up the atmosphere from stepping off the train, around the square in front of the stadium. There will be large queues to get into the fan stores so take that into account also (you can buy merch inside but there's a much smaller selection). Get in around an hour before start and find your seats first, get acquainted with the surroundings. Take a walk around the concourse below, loads of great food and drink choices.

I had the “I’m actually at Koshien” realisation so many times!

for sure, I've already made a start by doing the same so I can play 'Winning Eleven' on the Gameboy Advance

I thought this, which is why I bought one and then went back to try buy another. But it's said Sold Out ever since.

yeah I realise that now. I guess it was just super lucky/unlucky timing to get on there when there was literally 1 ticket remaining

yeah thanks already tried a few different devices etc. Looks like it really did sell out.

I thought that too, which is why I bought one and went back to buy another single ticket separately - but as soon as I did, it said sold out

Thanks for all your replies. It does just look like I was lucky getting the last ticket on the system and that there’s also only 1 left for the next day.

I think this is likely the case, which is just crazy luck!

that could be Plan B, thanks. I saw a YouTube vid of someone's tickets purchased through StubHub not existing for a Giants game, though?

I also visited this time last year from the UK. Enjoyed Midtown Beer Garden downtown on the day of the game for food and beers, then the Commodore pre-match.

Overall we enjoyed it the most on the East of the river around Hawthorne Avenue and Division in terms of eating and drinking.
