My brother is coming to visit in July and I would like to take him to a Finnish baseball game. Where do I purchase tickets? At the game or in advance? Also, where are the games played in Helsinki?
Thanks,
Colette
Baseball Tickets
I you want to show him top level Finnish baseball, you will have to travel to Hyvinkää where Hyvinkään Tahko plays (Commuter trains H & R, takes about 50 minutes).

It's about 2km from the railway station to Pihkala baseball field.
In Helsinki, Puna-Mustat play in the first division. They play in Meilahti field. Not a major league sports event by any standards, but if your brother is a baseball enthusiast, he might enjoy the game.

You can by tickets at the game for both teams.
And here is the Finnish association pages in English:
