The Savannah Bananas are hauling their high-energy Banana Ball circus to New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on March 14 and 15, right in the thick of St. Patrick’s Day weekend, and the ticket market is already getting wild. What was supposed to be a relatively cheap, family-friendly outing has turned into a scramble on resale sites, with prices swinging from manageable to jaw-dropping for fans who missed the team’s ticket lottery.
The team distributed tickets through an official lottery system, with standard face values starting around $35 for smaller ballparks and roughly $40 for big stadium stops, and meet-and-greet options beginning near $125. According to the ticket FAQ from Banana Ball, the lottery closed on Oct. 31, 2025, and anything sold outside the official FansFirstTickets platform is likely fraudulent.
On the secondary market, though, it is a different ballgame. Event pages on SeatGeek list tickets starting at about $150 for the March dates. As reported by NOLA, StubHub listings yesterday were running from roughly $119 to more than $1,500 for club-level seats, and some SeatGeek posts for the March 15 game were advertised as high as $11,500.
Why prices spiked
The Bananas’ touring model, hitting large venues with a limited number of dates, has turned their tickets into a hot commodity in certain cities. The team has been packing stadiums on recent stops, including an attendance of more than 81,000 people at one event and roughly 148,000 fans across two nights in Charlotte. Those kinds of numbers have been cited in local coverage as fuel for aggressive resale pricing, with scalpers betting that demand will stay sky high, according to WDSU.
How to buy safely
For anyone still hoping to get in the door, the safest strategy is to stick with official channels, join the team’s interest list, and watch for verified releases instead of trusting random social media offers or too-good-to-be-true listings. The venue’s event page on the Caesars Superdome site confirms the March 14 and 15 dates and warns fans to use authorized sellers and be cautious with third-party tickets that could be rejected at the gate. The same message is echoed in the ticket FAQ from Banana Ball, which stresses that unofficial sales come with serious risk…
