Lotte’s promotion in the Korean Baseball Organization this season is leading to a ‘box office surge’. Today’s (30th) game between leaders LG and Lotte in Jamsil is expected to exceed 20,000 spectators, which is unusual for a Tuesday game.

The matchup between leader LG and third-placed Lotte is a ‘midweek three-game series’ with fewer spectators, but ticket sales are as hot as if it were a weekend.

Today’s first game has already sold nearly 18,000 tickets and is likely to break the 20,000 mark, something that has only happened four times since the start of the ’10-baseball era’ in 2015 and not in four years since Doosan secured a miraculous ‘come-from-behind’ win on the final day of the 2019 regular season in Jamsil on a non-holiday Tuesday.

For the three-game series, LG will send foreign ace Kelly and Plutko to the mound alongside ‘Young Gun’ Lee Min-ho, who returns from injury after a two-month absence, while Lotte will look to reclaim the lead with Han Hyun-hee, Park Se-woong and Stratley, who have all been on a tear since May.

Lotte returns to Sajik Stadium this weekend to face another favourite, KIA, and it will be interesting to see if they can continue their streak of back-to-back weekend home sellouts that they recorded against SSG on the 20th and 21st.
