Chris, I don't know where in Japan you'll be or how much you're willing to spend, but last year I attended the Nihon Series and I bought tickets in the Tokyo area. Some areas (for example near Shinjuku station) are loaded with ticket shops. You will pay a lot more there, but I guarantee you'll find some tickets. I've done it for several big events.

Try Lawsons, Sunkus, or Circle K conveinience stores. I bought Nihon Series tickets last year on the day of the game and got pretty good seats for 5,000 yen (I was 8 rows behind Ochiai-kantokus wife!).
It's gonna be a lot harder because it's looking like Chiba/Hanshin, but it's not impossible.

You mean you can get tickets at Lawsons in Tokyo or Osaka? I'm in Tokyo looking to take a day trip to Osaka to see my Tigers win.

It's probably unlikely that you're going to get a ticket to the Nippon Series now, that it's started. Tickets are probably already sold out.

The best place to ask that question is a Lawsons. There is usually one within a three minute walk from pretty much any train station in Tokyo, sometimes as many as five withing a five minute walk. The information about availability of tickets at convinence stores above was passed on based on seeing ads. For details, you need to go to one of the conienence stores and ask.

They've been selling tickets on e-bay for 70,000 yen now, so I'm guessing Lawsons is probably out.
If you can read some Japanese there is a ticket machine in the store where you can buy stuff for sporting events. I usually go there so I can see my J-League team (Omiya Ardija) find new ways to lose.

You will not get any tickets now through any of the official sources. In fact, you would not have gotten them at all through the official sources unless you were very quick (tickets for the Koshien games sold out in 40 minutes). Your only options are ticket touts (don't) or auctions, both incredibly expensive options now.
About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
