The fan-companion app for the Savannah Bananas and the Banana Ball World Tour — full tour calendar, live game casting, and a last-minute ticket radar when shows sell out.

Target user

Savannah Bananas and Banana Ball fans who can't always get to shows but want year-round engagement

Features
  • Tour calendar with show-by-show city, broadcast info, weather alerts, and parking tips
  • Live game companion with pitch-by-pitch commentary, real-time scoring, and weekly 'best catch' reels
  • Last-minute ticket radar that alerts when verified reseller prices drop below a threshold you set
  • Player profiles, rules glossary, and a 'Banana Ball explainer for baseball traditionalists'
Why now

Hartford and most tour dates were sold out per local news, 1000+ US searches for 'banana ball' confirm a fandom larger than the seat supply, and there's no dedicated fan app — the Savannah Bananas' app is events-only.

Demand

Confirmed large fandom: 11.6M TikTok followers, 2.54M YouTube subscribers, 2.2M tickets sold and $80M in ticket sales per Huddle Up substack.Inside The Savannah Bananas: $80M+ In Ticket Sales, $50M+ In Merchthesavbananas (@thesavbananas) | TikTok

Whitespace
4/10

An official 'Fans First Tickets' app already exists on iOS/Android with view/transfer, marketplace, and browse features; large Facebook groups already serve as ticket-resale communities — the 'no dedicated fan app' premise is largely false.Fans First Tickets - Apps on Google PlaySavannah Bananas - Verified Ticket Resale Only | Facebook

Monetization
5/10

Fans clearly spend heavily on tickets ($35+ face, steep resale) and $50M+ in merch, but willingness to pay for a third-party companion app beyond what the official app offers is unproven.Inside The Savannah Bananas: $80M+ In Ticket Sales, $50M+ In MerchDidn't get Savannah Bananas tickets?

Longevity
5/10

Brand is hot but engagement is tied to a single organization and a seasonal tour; depends on the Bananas continuing to tour and avoiding fan-fatigue or rights disputes with MLB-partnered leagues.Tickets | The Savannah Bananas

Feasibility
5/10

Tour calendar and basic fan-companion features are straightforward, but live-game casting requires streaming rights and a 'ticket radar' on the official marketplace needs partnership/API access; competing against the official app is a structural challenge.Fans First Tickets - Apps on Google Play
