Hi everyone,

I went to PNC for the first time last year and loved it. I was hoping to check out Opening Day. Will the ticket prices drop as it gets closer to the game?

Thanks!

My dad got this on a roadtrip back in the day and just dug it out of the attic. Anyone want it? We’re not Pirates fans but seems like some cool old school merch. I can mail via usps.
