Great event to host if we can pack the Dude. Any idea how much money we hope to make off of this?

My parents made it to the “try to get tickets” round on Tuesday.

I lost. I heard a lot of fake voters from China stuffed the ballot box. Stole it from our kids!

Got my ticket lottery rejection email today...anybody get lucky here?
I got an email saying that I will be assigned a time to buy tickets, but there is no guarantee tickets will still be available when my time comes around.

Was the email legit? We got selected, we think, but it was from fansfirsttickets.com
then had a follow up email from thesavannahbananas.com. Wife forwarded to me. First one looked sketchy.

Meh. Not paying to watch that. I did pay to watch the Harlem Globetrotters at the Hump back in the 1990s though

That's how they notify you. We got selected when they were in Atlanta, but all the tickets were gone when I got logged in on selection day

Meh, there are other things I’d prefer to be doing but it’s entertainment for the kids and it’s currently a big thing for them, plus I’ll be taking 1-2 along for the ride and introducing them to The Dude and the campus.

As far as adults go, I don’t get the obsession many seem to have with it, but the tickets are cheaper than most concerts and most other like and similar products, so to each his own.

Got lucky. Drawn for the lottery. Didn’t realize if you got drawn you still might not get tickets depending on where your time slot is in the lottery.
Same here. Keep your eyes peeled for an e-mail this Friday regarding access to the sale. Nothing is guaranteed, but I'm curious to see how this will work.

I got drawn for the lottery, but haven't gotten the verification email.

Has anyone gotten the verification email with the link?

I was able to buy early thru the Bulldog Club a few weeks back. I bought 3, but could have bought up to 5. I guess I should have gotten the 2 extra and made sure they got into to Bulldog hands.

Banana Ball is like an upgrade from the old dinner shows. Instead of knights, horses, cowboys etc, it's clown baseball and instead of a roasted chicken, it's cold beer and nachos. Wonder how many tickets were available.

I got two emails one from Banana Ball and one from the Party Animals. The one from Banana Ball had a link to verify my email. Once verified I will get another email with my designated time to purchase tickets in the next day or so.

Based on the ratio of rejections in this thread, the Dude better be packed.
All the nerds on here who think the Savana Bananas are for adults will be amazed at how many people follow it. I believe it's getting more eyeballs than the globe trotters ever did. If you have kids, it's a great experience. Also, the amount of merch they move at a game is staggering. Around Truist, I bet they had 30 merch tents set up. Each of them was 100 people deep 2 hrs before the game and the lines never shortened. The production side of it is great too. It's nonstop music and goofy stuff for the kids. It's a helluva show. And no, it's not like game 7 of the WS, nor do they pretend to be.

FYI, they could easily break the DNF attendance record if our administration allows it.

Once you click to begin the verification process you'll receive a text message. Once you receive the text message click the link and you'll receive a verification e-mail from Banana Ball Tickets that says, "BOOM! That's all for now." in the subject line of the e-mail.

My wife and son went to the Charlotte game, that was a 3 hour drive. They were seriously considering entering for the one at the Dude.
