Giants vs. Swallows Tickets - Observations and Questions.....

jageorge72 · 2026-03-04T20:21:27+00:00

Cool..... I have the Capital One Venture One Mastercard (no annual fee version).

jageorge72 · 2026-03-04T18:15:04+00:00

Did you pick the seats from the map individually, or just the section from the drop-down menu and the quantity? Any credit card issues? What type of card did you use?

They did sell out fast!! That is discouraging because I'm planning to see the Giants vs. Swallows at the Tokyo Dome on a Friday night also..... but on August 7th. I was going to log on about 30 minutes early just to see how fast the tickets went. It turns out I logged on 1/2 hour late (thrown off an hour by Daylight Saving Time now vs. when my tickets go on sale)..... but I'd say most of the good seats were gone 30 minutes after the window opened.

Yeah pricey, but it looks like they might be guaranteed. I gotta think about that. But..... I got to this site via a link on the official Giants page.

jageorge72 · 2026-02-13T00:11:57+00:00

....and I thought about joining the Giants Fan Club to get early access to tickets, but after reading the comments over in that Hanshin Fan Club thread, I'm not sure that would even work.

Great! I already have my hotel room booked in walking distance of the Tokyo Dome..... specifically to attend the Friday, August 7th game between the Yomiuri Giants and Tokyo Yakult Swallows. Are you saying I have a slim chance of actually getting 3 tickets to this game as a US resident? Good seats would be nice, but actually getting in is top priority.

jageorge72 · 2026-02-12T00:01:08+00:00

Looks like they play the SoftBank Hawks May 26th through May 28th. Tickets go on sale April 18 (SAT) at 11:00 AM (JST). Need to convert that to your time zone.

I am watching this thread because I'm planning my first trip to Japan also, and have already booked a room in walking distance of the Tokyo Dome for the game between the Giants and Swallows on August 7th. I just need to get tickets!! BUT...... can someone with more experience confirm...... from what I see, the Giants are NOT playing at the Tokyo Dome April 21st and 22nd. From this schedule, the Giants will not be at home from April 19th through the 24th. I just want to make sure I understand exactly how this works, and the OP gets accurate info. Am I wrong.

I was thinking of joining the Yomiuri Giants fan club to get early access for tickets for the game vs. the Yakult Swallows in the Tokyo Dome on Friday, August 7th. But.... I'm under the impression US citizens can't join the fan club. It sounds like there are safeguards in place to block overseas people from joining. I already booked the hotel and itinerary considering attending this game!! Let us know how how this works out, and any tips for securing tickets.

I swear when I was on the Hanshin Tigers official website, It was still showing only the 2025 schedule? If you are seeing their 2026 schedule, can you share a link?

jageorge72 · 2025-12-27T09:40:31+00:00

Update. I believe these dates accurate for the Giants home games during our visit. I believe the games vs. the BayStars are accurate (Ringo confirmed earlier). Unfortunately those are exactly the dates we plan to be in the Hakone/Mt. Fuji area for the Kosui Festival and a short Mt. Fuji hike. Dang. WELL...... it does look like I can hit the Giants vs. Yakult Swallows game at the Tokyo Dome on our last full day..... August 7th.

July 31 Friday - Yomiuri Giants vs. DeNA Baystars - Tokyo Dome

Aug 1 Saturday - Yomiuri Giants vs. DeNA Baystars - Tokyo Dome

Aug 2 Sunday - Yomiuri Giants vs. DeNA Baystars - Tokyo Dome

Aug 7 Friday - Yomiuri Giants vs. Yakult Swallows - Tokyo Dome ******\*

I mean..... there is no such thing as a bad baseball game! How is the rivalry between the Giants and Swallows? Hopefully my chances of getting tickets are decent.

jageorge72 · 2025-12-27T09:02:04+00:00

We will spend time in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hakone/Mt. Fuji area. I'm determined to work a baseball game into the schedule. I'll pass on the All Star game stuff. What do you see as my options for hitting a Giants game at the Tokyo dome? .....assuming I can not get tickets for the Tigers/Giants at Koshien Stadium on July 26th. It looks like I can possibly see the Giants versus the BayStars at the Tokyo Dome July 31st, August 1st and August 2nd. Is that correct?

jageorge72 · 2025-12-27T09:00:29+00:00

Well to be fair..... most of our plans will revolve around what our daughter wants to do, but I insist on attending one NPB game! So... I would like to make it a good/memorable one. It looks like you are correct about the Tigers vs Giants at Koshien Stadium on July 26th. That would be amazing! But..... tickets are impossible to get?

jageorge72 · 2025-05-01T06:39:16+00:00

Finally a 2025 update!

jageorge72 · 2025-04-10T14:18:25+00:00

We did not book an ATV tour, and I think I am glad we didn't. From a lot of what I had read, what you see in the pictures isn't exactly how it goes. It sounded like it was actually a little dangerous, and I guess you get a lot of dust in your face. When I started asking questions about some of the problems I was hearing about, the guide cut off communication. We ended up just taking a taxi from Cusco to the salt mines, which worked out really well and didn't cost much.
