Tickets for the 2024 KBO All-Star Game, which will be held at Landers Field in Incheon on the 6th, have been sold out. KBO announced that all 22,500 tickets were sold at 2 p.m., four hours before the start of the game. As a result, the KBO All-Star Game will be held in full spectators for the third consecutive year following 2022-2023.
The atmosphere was hot even before the start of this All-Star Game. The Futures (second division) All-Star Game was held in the largest crowd ever on the 5th, and Austin Dean (LG Twins), Jonathan Ferraza (Hanwha Eagles), and Kim Do-young (KIA Tigers) also entertained fans with a great game in the ensuing home run derby.
However, the outlook on the day of the All-Star Game was uncertain. It is predicted that more than 20mm of rain will fall per hour this evening. Even if the game starts, suspension is inevitable, and it will take a considerable amount of time to maintain the ground. If the rain stops faster than forecast, the game may be resumed through maintenance, but it is expected that the inconvenience of fans and players will continue in that a considerable delay is inevitable.
If the All-Star Game cannot be held due to rain, the schedule will be changed to the 7th. Fortunately, there is no rain forecast on the 7th. However, it is better to hold a reservation war by splitting busy time to find the All-Star Game, and for fans visiting Incheon, the game is better to be held as scheduled. Due to this season's schedule, which will have a shorter All-Star break than usual, players will also feel the same way.
Despite these concerns, fans' steps are leading to Incheon. Even though there is quite a bit of time left for the game, a large number of fans are already waiting outside the stadium to enter. The love for professional baseball, which is all-time popular with at least 6 million spectators in its history, continues to the All-Star Game.
