Despite the autumn chill with raindrops falling, the heat of the KBO postseason is truly intense. The matchup between two prestigious KBO League clubs, the Samsung Lions and the KIA Tigers, has once again drawn a full house.

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) officially announced that all 18,900 tickets for Game 3 of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO Postseason Playoffs (best-of-five series), held on the 29th at Gwangju-KIA Champions Field between the Samsung Lions and the KIA Tigers, were sold out.

With this, the postseason consecutive sellout streak, which began with Game 1 of the 2023 Korea Series between the LG Twins and KT Wiz, has extended to 44 games.

By playoff standards alone, a consecutive full-house record of 12 games has been achieved since Game 1 between LG and Samsung in 2024.

In this season's postseason, all seven games played so far have sold out: the one Wild Card Decider game, the three-game NLDS between LG and KIA, and Games 1 through 3 of the playoffs between Samsung and KIA. The cumulative attendance stands at 151,100.

The KBO League, which attracted a record-high 12,775,051 spectators during this year's regular season, is continuing its box-office surge in the postseason as well.
