The LG Twins officially announced that all 23,750 tickets were sold out at 7:05 p.m. at home against the Hanwha Eagles in Jamsil on the 27th. It is a new record of selling out for the first five consecutive games in the KBO League history.
It is indeed a formidable record. The opening two consecutive games against the Lotte Giants on the 22nd and 23rd were weekend games on Saturday and Sunday. Considering the 10 million spectators last year, we could expect a full sale, and in fact, it was sold out.
However, it was difficult to expect a sellout in the three consecutive games against Hanwha held from the 25th to the 27th. This is because it was a game on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, not holidays. On the 25th, Hanwha's ace and national ace Ryu Hyun-jin will take the mound, and LG's foreign ace Elijah Hernandez will also take the mound and sell out.
However, as the game was sold out on the 26th, the surprise grew. And as the game reservation was almost over on the 27th, the officials continued to be surprised at the situation where it was expected to be sold out, and in fact, it was sold out even on the 27th.
As a result, LG sold out for five consecutive games, with 118,750 people visiting and already exceeding 100,000 spectators.
LG sold out 25 times in 73 games held at home last season, easily exceeding its own sales of 16 times in 2012, attracting a total of 1,397,499 spectators. It recorded the highest number of spectators, exceeding LG's previous record of 1,289,297 in 2013. And this became the new record for the most spectators in a season in 15 years, breaking the previous record of 1,3818, set by the Lotte Giants in 2009. LG became the most-watched team ever.
It is curious whether LG, which got off to a good start by selling out all five of its opening games, will be able to break another record for the largest number of spectators this season, but the situation is not easy. LG played 73 games at home last year, but 71 games this year. This year, Doosan will play 73 home games in Jamsil.
As seen in LG's sellout of five consecutive games, the KBO League's box office boom in the 2025 season is strong from the beginning. Twenty games were played until the 26th, the previous day, and 13 games were sold out, with a total of 391,720 people. The average attendance per game is 19,586 people.
