확률 800분의 1…"오타니 보러" 고척돔 피케팅 달려드는 日팬들 : 네이트 뉴스

The competition to see Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers) play in the official opening game of the 2024 season of the American Baseball Major League to be held at Gocheok Dome in Seoul in March is hot in Japan.


On the 22nd, FNN News, citing statistician Norio Dorigoe, reported that the probability of winning a ticket to the game where Ohtani plays between the LA Dodgers and the San Diego Padres is about 0.124%. In terms of magnification, it is 1 in 800, which is truly a miracle ticket.


However, only paid members of Coupang Play, the organizer of the 'MLB World Tour Seoul Series', are eligible to purchase tickets for the opening game, which will go on sale on the 26th. In order to sign up for paid membership, a Korean phone number and resident registration number are required, so Japanese people have no choice but to ask their Korean acquaintances.


In fact, posts from Japanese fans planning to picket before the opening day are being posted on social media (SNS) through Korean acquaintances. One netizen said, “I get along very well with the Korean teachers. “While many Japanese who have no connection to Koreans have been left behind in the battle, this is a chance to turn things around,” he said, expressing his motivation.


Tourism companies are also excited to seize the opportunity. “Of course, our company will jump into the market to purchase tickets,” said Son Chan-chan of Tour Korea. “We want to buy as many as possible and form a package tour.”


Tereviasahi was concerned that if tickets were resold, the price could reach millions of yen (tens of millions of won). A travel agency handling ticket purchases told Sankei Sports, “It would be easier for Japanese fans to go to Los Angeles rather than aim for the Seoul game.”


The game between the Dodgers and Padres will be held on March 20th and 21st. This is the first major league official game held in Korea.


This is the regular league debut of Ohtani, who just joined the Dodgers, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who broke the MLB pitcher's record for the highest salary, drawing even more attention.
