One of the best places to experience Dominican baseball is at the home field of two of the DR’s six professional teams, Licey and Escogido. You can get tickets to most games by arriving shortly before the first innings; games between the hometown rivals or Licey and Aguilas sell out more quickly.
Asking for the best seats available at the box office is likely to cost RD$1000 and put you within meters of the ballplayers and the between-innings dancers. Scalpers also congregate along the road to the stadium and at the entrance. A taxi back to the Zona Colonial should run around RD$200. The stadium has been the site of big-name concerts such as Justin Bieber and beloved Dominican singer-songwriter Juan Luis Guerra.
