Getting a hard baseball ticket even for MVP Kim Do-young.

The KBO League, which surpassed 10 million spectators for the first time last year, is a battlefield for tickets every day. In the past, it was very difficult to get tickets for popular teams, big matches, and postseason, but since last year, this phenomenon has intensified even on weekdays.

As soon as the tickets for this year's opening game were opened, it was a mess. Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the reservation site immediately after its opening, and seats were sold out in an instant. There are also a number of fans who secure season tickets or special tickets that can be pre-purchased for each club in advance and secure stability with additional expenditures.

In particular, KIA Tigers, which exploded in popularity after winning last year, have been flooded with inquiries and complaints about tickets to all employees. Most of the time, they refuse because they cannot listen to all of them, but once there are many requests, there is not a lot of stress.

The opening match between KIA and NC Dinos, which will be held at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 22nd, is already practically sold out. Open seats were sold out in an instant, and the ticket resale site has a premium of more than several times, putting a heavy burden on buying.

It's the same for players that it's hard to get tickets. So is Kim Do-young, who won MVP last year. Asked if he gets a lot of requests for tickets from his friends and acquaintances, he said "Everyone doesn't ask a lot because they know it's not going to work anymore."

Usually, players purchase home game tickets through clubs, which are limited in quantity. Therefore, even if you pay your own money, you won't get more than a limited number of tickets.

Kim Do-young said, `I can't give you tickets except for my family. Others can't tell you even if you tell them. The number of tickets is fixed, so it's hard to do more than that," he shook his head. There were some episodes where I couldn't laugh. Kim Do-young "Last year, my sisters succeeded in ticketing only once. I managed to get a ticket and came in, but there was a time when the seat was a bit strange," he said with a smile.

However, getting such heated tickets is also a luxury that eventually came as baseball's popularity grew. Kim Do-young is also waiting with the hope that the opening will begin soon. When the season opens, it feels grand and exciting"He expressed his expectations and confidence for this season.
