PiratesFest is coming a little earlier than expected this year, assuming you are a season ticket holder.
The Pirates announced Thursday that PNC Park will be open for PiratesFest from 4-8 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 24, one day before the originally scheduled date of Jan. 25. Season ticket holders will also get to enter early on Jan. 25 at 9 a.m..
For those who do not have a year-long plan, the gates will open to the general public at 11 a.m.. They originally planned to open the doors at noon.
The Pirates cited demand as the reason for the extra hours.
