The consideration shown by the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) toward digital vulnerable groups stands out. Ahead of the 2026 All-Star Game, the KBO has set aside 200 seats for on-site sales to accommodate digital vulnerable groups.

The KBO officially announced on the 25th that ticket sales for the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO All-Star Game will begin on June 29 at 2 p.m. via NOL (Yanolja).

This All-Star Game holds special significance as the final All-Star Game to be held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, which boasts a long tradition. Opened in 1982, Jamsil Baseball Stadium has served as the mecca of Korean baseball and a historic venue for 44 years, leaving many memories for baseball fans.

The stadium will close at the end of this season and be reborn as the Jamsil Dome Stadium in 2032. From next year through 2031, over five seasons, Doosan and LG will temporarily use the Seoul Olympic Stadium, located next to the baseball stadium, as their home field after renovation.

The most notable feature is the 200th seats reserved for on-site sales to accommodate digital vulnerable groups. The KBO stated, "On-site sales will be conducted for spectators who find it difficult to use online reservations on All-Star Friday and on the day of the All-Star Game."

Individuals aged 65 and older (born before January 1, 1962), persons with disabilities (holders of disability registration cards or welfare cards), and foreigners (holders of passports) may purchase one ticket per person at the first ticket office. A total of 200 seats will be prepared for on-site sales.

Ticket sales for the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO All-Star Friday and All-Star Game, held over two days on July 10 and 11 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, will proceed in stages starting at 2 p.m. on the 29th through the NOL (Yanolja) ticketing website, mobile application, and NOL customer service center.

From 2 p.m. on June 29 until midnight on the same day, pre-sales for tickets to the All-Star Friday event on July 10 will be conducted for all baseball fans on a first-come, first-served basis (7,000 tickets). All-Star Friday features a variety of programs, including the Futures All-Star Game and the home run race featuring KBO League All-Star players.

From 2 p.m. on June 30 until midnight on the same day, only ticket holders who purchased two or more tickets for All-Star Friday will be eligible for pre-sales of tickets to the 2026 KBO All-Star Game on July 11. General ticket sales will begin at 2 p.m. on July 1. Fans can purchase tickets for both All-Star Friday and the KBO All-Star Game.

The KBO will hold an event for fans who have purchased tickets for the All-Star Game. From June 29 to July 1, 90 fans selected by lottery will receive the opportunity to participate in an All-Star fan signing event.

Each winner will be awarded two participation tickets. Winners will be notified individually via the KBO website and text message at 6 p.m. on July 8. However, if a winner cancels their ticket purchase after being selected, their participation rights for the fan signing event will also be revoked.
