The barnstorming Party Animals will return to Albuquerque next year when the 'Banana Ball' team launches its 2025 World Tour at Isotopes Park on May 24-25.
The Party Animals, who played two sold-out games against the Savannah Bananas at Isotopes Park in April, will square-off against the Texas Tailgaters, a new addition to the 'Banana Ball' lineup.
'Banana Ball' is described as a fast-paced, action-packed style of baseball with rules that include no bunting, a two-hour time limit, fans catching foul balls for outs, batters stealing first base, and a one-on-one tiebreaker showdown at the end of the game if the score is tied.
To get tickets, fans must first join a Ticket Lottery. A random drawing will take place about two months before the event and those selected will then have an opportunity to purchase tickets. For information, visit https://www.bbwt25ticketlotto.fansfirsttickets.com/.
Albuquerque Isotopes 2025 season ticket holders will have an option to purchase tickets before they are made available via the lottery.
Tickets are $35 for those ages 4 and older, free for those 3 and under at long as they sit on a lap.
