While performance is disappointing compared to last year, it has had no impact on box office success. In fact, the crowd enthusiasm is even hotter.

SSG Landers announced on the 27th that all 23,000 tickets for the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League home game against Hanwha Eagles at Incheon SSG Landers Field have been sold out.

This marks the 10th sellout of the season and the 35th home game, with cumulative attendance reaching 638,162. The average per game stands at 18,233, surpassing last year's 17,549.

SSG achieved full houses starting with the opening series games against KIA Tigers on March 28 and 29, followed by three consecutive games against Lotte Giants from May 1 to 3, a game against NC Dinos on the 5th, and three consecutive games against LG Twins from the 15th to 17.

Unlike last year when they climbed to third place by leveraging a powerful pitching staff, this season sees a collapse in pitching-batting balance, leaving them in ninth place with 30 wins, 43 losses, and 2 draws. They trail eighth-place Lotte Giants by 3.5 games.

Considering their performance, this is an even more surprising box office record. One could argue that their fan base has become even more solid.

At this pace, they could attract 1,294,557 spectators across 71 games. Having played 73 home games last year with 1,281,093 attendees, they are expected to surpass that figure again and set a new club attendance record.

This series will feature a 'Mascot Day' event alongside the club mascots 'Randy, Batty, and Puri.' Special paper tickets featuring real photos of the mascots will be issued during the three-game series, and the Landers Flagship Store will offer significant discounts on select mascot-related merchandise.

Additionally, an outdoor mini-game booth will be set up at Frontier Plaza three hours before game time, and a mascot fan greeting event will be held at major entrances one hour before the game starts. A variety of events, including S-City Concert (27th) and Kim Geon-woo & Batty fan signing (28th), will be held on specific dates to create a festival atmosphere for fans visiting the baseball stadium.
