As always, admission is free. Howard J. Lamade Stadium, where the final rounds of the Little League World Series have been played every year since 1959, seats approximately 10,000. The hillside terraces at Lamade Stadium just beyond the outfield fence, which offer excellent viewing, can accommodate up to 30,000 more fans.

Little League Volunteer Stadium, for some of the early round games, seats about 5,000. The 2004 Series will feature 16 teams from various regions of the world.

Tickets
A ticket policy has been formulated regarding tickets for the World Championship Game on August 29. Little League Baseball has created a lottery system to keep up with the increased demand for these tickets.

While tickets for certain areas of the stadiums are required, they are not required for other sections for most games. Tickets are never required for the terrace at Lamade Stadium. It is suggested that if you plan to sit in the stadiums, you arrive early. If you plan to watch the games from the terraced hills at Lamade Stadium, you may want to bring a blanket and/or lawn chairs.
