The heat of 'ticket scalping' did not cool down even on the pinnacle stage of fall baseball, the Korea Series (KS). Recording a sellout for all seats from Game 1, it continued the invincible box-office success myth of fall baseball.

According to the KBO (Korea Baseball Organization), the spectator seating (17,700 seats) at Suwon KT Wiz Park was sold out well before the start of the first game of the 2026 KBO Postseason Korea Series between the Samsung Lions and the KT Wiz on the 3rd.

With this, all 10 games held in this postseason, from the Wild Card Decider to the first game of the Korea Series, recorded a sellout streak. The cumulative attendance for the 10th games of the 2026 postseason reached 211,250 people.

The consecutive sellout streak encompassing the entire postseason also set a new record. Starting from the first game of the 2023 Korea Series, the postseason consecutive sellout record achieved the great feat of 47 consecutive sold-out games as of this day.

Even looking solely at the Korea Series stage, the enthusiasm is overwhelming. The sellout streak that began with the first game of the 2022 Korea Series has not been broken even once up to this day, achieving '22 consecutive Korea Series sellouts' and proving its status as the KBO's greatest celebration in name and reality.

Along with the fierce battle to claim the Korea Series championship trophy and the fans' hot trend of attending games in person, the 'perfect sellout' myth of 2026 fall baseball is expected to continue throughout the series.
