Taipei is rolling out a significant promotional campaign to coincide with the 2026 Chinese Professional Baseball League All-Star Game, aiming to boost local commerce and enhance the city's appeal to visitors. The "Show Up Taipei" initiative offers attendees of the All-Star Game a total of 600 NT dollars in discount vouchers. These vouchers are divided into 200 NT dollars each for use in Taipei's night markets, commercial districts, and traditional markets. To claim these vouchers, fans must register their game tickets through the Taipei Pass app or the official event website, starting July 17th at noon. This offer is available on a first-come, first-served basis, with limited quantities.

Beyond the immediate shopping and dining incentives, the city has also introduced a lucky draw for all ticket registrants, regardless of whether they secured the discount vouchers. The grand prizes include a signed baseball from player Chen Chieh-Hsien and a pair of round-trip tickets to Seoul, South Korea. This lottery aims to extend the excitement of the baseball event into a broader city experience and potentially encourage further travel.

The initiative seeks to leverage the popularity of the baseball game, which will be held at the Taipei Dome alongside other major venues like the Taipei Arena, Taipei Music Center, and Taipei Performing Arts Center, to create a comprehensive urban experience. This includes not only watching the game but also enjoying performances and exploring the city's vibrant commercial areas.
