The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) has joined forces with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the National Police Agency to eradicate ticket scalping in order to establish a fair and healthy sports viewing culture.

On the 14th, at Seoul Jamsil Stadium, where the first game of the Wild Card Series for the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO Postseason was held, the KBO launched a joint campaign with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the National Police Agency. At the event, baseball fans on site were directly informed about the revised ticket scalping eradication system and proper ticket reservation procedures.

This campaign was planned in line with the revised "Enforcement Decree of the National Sports Promotion Act," which took full effect on August 28. The purpose is to inform the public of the strengthened sports ticket scalping penalty regulations resulting from the legislative amendment, thereby raising awareness of illegal transactions and understanding of the system to spread a fair viewing culture.

KBO Commissioner Heo Gu-yeon, who attended the site, stated, "We will continue to cooperate closely with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the National Police Agency in promotion and enforcement so that the revised ticket scalping eradication system can be firmly established on the ground." He added, "We will create an environment where all fans can purchase tickets through legitimate means and enjoy baseball safely."

These institutional investors will carry out intensive promotion and enforcement throughout the entire postseason period as the autumn baseball fervor continues. The KBO plans to encourage fan participation by distributing hot packs featuring the ticket scalping eradication campaign image at promotional booths set up outside the stadium. The National Police Agency also plans to strengthen on-site enforcement by deploying police personnel both inside and around the stadium, while continuing preventive and educational activities.
