When the Savannah Bananas Are Coming to Philly and How To Get Tickets

Author Kristen Herrmann

Finally! The world, or at least TikTok famous Savannah Bananas are coming to Philly! The self-proclaimed “World Famous Baseball Circus” just announced their 2024 Banana Ball World Tour Dates, and Philly got one of them.

Coming to Philly on Saturday, September 21st, 2024 – Citizens Bank Park

Picture Aaron Nola doing his thing, but also lip-synching and breaking out into choreographed dances, emerging from (and performing through) the crowd, and then dancing onto the field. Every music genre, every walk-up song. So many surprises packed into each game. There are ensemble pieces, solos, post-game interviews from the shower, you name it. It’s completely for and about the fans, and families. Fun for folks of all types and ages. You don’t have to be a typical “sports person”. It’s a baseball and a concert combined. The players do actually play baseball, and pretty well too, but there’s a whole lot of other entertainment mixed in. It’s a whole bunch of fun. Pun absolutely intended.

And now, the Savannah Bananas are coming to Philly. They finally have a Philly date planned.

If you haven’t seen any of the viral videos surrounding this team, here are a few.

So how do you buy tickets?

Tickets are not yet available to purchase. Two months before the event, they will do a random drawing for a chance to buy tickets. In order to be included in the lottery, you must join the Ticket Lottery List before December 1st, 2023. That’s when the lottery list closes. Don’t miss your chance to “Go Bananas” and see the best entertainment in sports.

Join the Lottery Ticket List HERE: https://www.bananaslottery2024.fansfirsttickets.com/

Joining the list doesn’t guarantee the opportunity to buy tickets. A random drawing will take place about 2 months before the event. If you’re drawn, you’ll have an opportunity to purchase up to four tickets! Joining later does not affect your opportunity to be drawn for the lottery as it is random!

Join “Potassium Enthusiasts from around the world” at next year’s Savannah Bananas World Tour.

Here’s a bit more about the Savannah Bananas in their own words. CNN wrote a great article too, and this video tells the backstory:

See you September 21st, 2024 at Citizens Bank Park! Let’s go bananas.

2008 World Series Champions Philadelphia Phillies: Where Are They Now

It’s so wild to think it’s been 15 years since the Phillies won the World Series back in 2008. It feels like yesterday and those players still feel like the superstars they are. We thought we should check up on them and see what they are up to. I know I have thought about them often, so let’s see what they have been up to.

Red October was in full swing. The 2008 World Series was the 104th edition of the World Series, it was a best-of-seven playoff between the National League champion Philadelphia Phillies and the American League champion Tampa Bay Rays; and the Phillies won (obviously), four games to one. The 2008 World Series is notable because it is the only World Series to involve a mid-game postponement and resumption (two days later). I remember watching it at the Irish Pub and they had to call the game because it was raining so bad.

Charlie Manuel was the manager for the Phillies and famous baseball manager Joe Maddon was in charge of the Rays. Fun Fact, Joe Maddon is from Hazelton, PA (which is in NEPA) and has done a lot for his hometown community. The dates of the 2008 World Series were October 22-29. Then remember the parade was on Halloween. I was working as a receptionist at the time at a company called Sparks and EVERYONE took off, but I couldn’t. I’ll never forget being so upset that I wasn’t able to go to the parade. Everyone had the best time and I was answering the phones in Northeast Philly saying “Hello Sparks.” Lol!

Obviously, the parade was epic and isn’t it so great how the two parades we had, there were two moments that live on forever? First Chase Utley with the WORLD BLEEPING CHAMPIONS and then obviously Jason Kelce’s speech at the Eagles Parade in 2018. Praying that we have another championship parade soon. We need it.
