Book tickets for KIA vs. LG through NOL Ticket. You can book **up to 4 tickets** per person.\n\nThe schedule and booking rules follow KBO notices dated October 7 and 14, 2026.\n\n## Schedule and Venues by Game\n\nGames 1, 2, and 5 are scheduled in Gwangju, while Games 3 and 4 are scheduled in Jamsil. All times are Korea Standard Time. Games 4 and 5 may not be played, depending on earlier results.\n\n| Game | Date | Start time | Venue | Home team |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Game 1 | Saturday, October 17, 2026 | 14:00 | Gwangju-KIA Champions Field | KIA Tigers |\n| Game 2 | Sunday, October 18, 2026 | 14:00 | Gwangju-KIA Champions Field | KIA Tigers |\n| Game 3 | Tuesday, October 20, 2026 | 18:30 | Jamsil Baseball Stadium | LG Twins |\n| Game 4 | Wednesday, October 21, 2026 | 18:30 | Jamsil Baseball Stadium | LG Twins |\n| Game 5 | Friday, October 23, 2026 | 18:30 | Gwangju-KIA Champions Field | KIA Tigers |\n\nThe dates and times were checked against the [official KBO schedule](https://eng.koreabaseball.com/Schedule/DailySchedule.aspx). When booking, check the game number and venue too. Ticket sales for the Gwangju and Jamsil games also begin on different dates.\n\n## How to Book KIA vs. LG Semi-Playoff Tickets\n\nNOL Ticket is the sole seller designated by KBO. Select the game you want to attend on its website or app. Check seat prices on that game's sales page. (Verified 2026 Gwangju semi-playoff prices by seat: Skybox 130,000 won, Champion Seats 110,000 won, Central Table Seats 95,000 won, Fourth-Floor Party Seats 75,000 won, Fifth-Floor Table Seats 65,000 won, Surprise Seats 60,000 won · source nol.yanolja.com · checked 2026-10-16)\n\n1. On NOL Ticket, go to Sports \u003e Postseason.\n2. Check the game you want to attend and when booking opens.\n3. Check seat prices and fees, and have your payment method ready.\n4. Select your seats and the number of tickets, then pay.\n5. Check the game date and tickets in your booking details.\n\n| Game | Booking opens according to the KBO notice |\n| --- | --- |\n| Game 1 | October 15, 2026, 14:00 |\n| Game 2 | October 15, 2026, 15:00 |\n| Game 3 | October 16, 2026, 14:00 |\n| Game 4 | October 16, 2026, 15:00 |\n| Game 5 | October 15, 2026, 16:00 |\n\nThis table follows the attachment to the [KBO ticket booking notice](https://www.koreabaseball.com/MediaNews/Notice/View.aspx?bdSe=12197). Booking opening times are not closing times. Check the sales page to see whether tickets are currently available.\n\n## Website, App, and Phone Booking Compared\n\nFor standard online booking, use the website or app. Phone booking has separate eligibility requirements. The fees below are charged in addition to the ticket price.\n\n| Channel | Eligibility | Booking fee per ticket |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| NOL Ticket website | Online booking for the game | 1,000 won |\n| NOL Ticket app | Mobile booking for the game | 1,000 won |\n| Customer service at 1544-1555 | Older adults and people with disabilities who cannot book online | 3,000 won |\n\nOnline booking closes one hour after the game starts. Standard cancellations close five hours before the game starts. The notice says payment is available by credit card only. Check the [NOL Ticket postseason information](https://nol.yanolja.com/ticket/genre/sports/postseason) for details.\n\n## On-Site Sales of Canceled Tickets and Separate Purchase Eligibility\n\nOn-site sales of canceled tickets are separate from on-site purchases for spectators who have difficulty booking online. If no tickets have been canceled, general on-site purchases may not be possible. The KBO notice describes sales of canceled tickets as follows:\n\n\u003e If canceled tickets are available, they are scheduled to go on sale at the venue starting two hours before the game on the day of the game.\n\nThe quoted document is KBO's “2026 Shinhan SOL KBO Semi-Playoff Ticket Booking” notice.\n\n| Category | Eligibility and conditions | What to prepare or check |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| On-site sales of canceled tickets | Sales begin two hours before the game if canceled tickets are available | Check remaining seats and whether sales will take place |\n| Separate on-site purchases for older adults | Age 65 or older according to the notice, one ticket per person | Confirm the applicable age rule and required proof |\n| Separate on-site purchases for people with disabilities | Holders of a disability registration certificate or welfare card, one ticket per person | The relevant document |\n| Separate on-site purchases for foreign nationals | Passport holders, one ticket per person | Passport |\n\n### When the Age and Birth Date Rules for Older Adults Differ\n\nThe age and birth date rules in the KBO notice do not match. The notice says age 65 or older. In parentheses, it specifies people born before January 1, 1962. Ask customer service which rule applies before visiting.\n\n## Series Overview and What to Watch\n\nThis semi-playoff is a **best-of-five series**. The first team to win three games advances to the playoffs. The teams' accumulated wins, rather than the number of games played, determine whether the next game takes place.\n\n| Results of earlier games | Whether later games take place |\n| --- | --- |\n| One team has three wins after Game 3 | Games 4 and 5 are not played |\n| Neither team has reached three wins after Game 3 | Game 4 is needed |\n| One team has three wins after Game 4 | Game 5 is not played |\n| Both teams have two wins after Game 4, with no ties | Game 5 is needed |\n\nAs you follow the series, watch its move from Gwangju to Jamsil. LG becomes the home team starting with Game 3. If Game 5 is needed, it will be played at KIA's home stadium again.\n\n## Ticket Handling for Rain Postponements and Early Series Endings\n\nRain postponements and an early end to the series are handled differently for ticket purposes. If rain prevents a game from being played, it is generally postponed until the next day. Games unaffected by the change proceed as scheduled.\n\n| Situation | Game or booking handling |\n| --- | --- |\n| Game date changes because of rain | Attend on the new date or choose to cancel the entire booking |\n| Cancellation on the day a rain postponement is announced | Cancellation fee waived for web and mobile cancellations until midnight that day |\n| Remaining games are not played because the series winner has been decided | All bookings for those games are canceled |\n| Game is temporarily stopped after it starts | Suspended-game rules apply; check the separate attendance guidance |\n\nKBO will not apply no-game rulings or rain-shortened game rules this postseason. A suspended game resumes from where it stopped. The rules for conducting games are set out in the [KBO postseason opening notice](https://www.koreabaseball.com/MediaNews/Notice/View.aspx?bdSe=12183).\n\nIf you are planning a trip, keep track of both the game you booked and the date it will actually be played. If the game date changes, check your transportation booking date again. Before leaving, compare KBO notices with your NOL Ticket booking details.\n\n## Attending in Person or Watching a Broadcast\n\nIf you are not going to the stadium, check the broadcast schedule for each game. The TV column for the semi-playoffs was blank on the official KBO schedule checked for this article. Do not assume the broadcast channels will be the same as during the regular season.\n\n| How to watch | Where to check | What to check |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Visit the stadium | NOL Ticket booking details | Game date, venue, and how to display your ticket |\n| Watch a broadcast | KBO game schedule and broadcasters' schedules | Channel and broadcast start time for each game |\n\nOpen standard mobile tickets in the app for entry. Screenshots cannot be used as tickets. For seats that specify a separate ticket collection method, follow those instructions.","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe KBO semi-playoff schedule begins with a game in Gwangju on October 17, 2026.
