PERSONAL CARE ATTENDANT
The Pirates will provide complimentary general admission to government-funded personal care attendants (PCAs) whose attendance is required to enable ticketed guests with severe disabilities (i.e., individuals who require around-the-clock assistance with all aspects of daily life) to attend games at PNC park. Depending on the nature of the event and the location of the guest’s seat, the PCA will either be provided a seat or will be directed to a location in proximity to the guest where the PCA may stand (which may or may not be in view of the game). Any request for complimentary general admission for a PCA must be made at the time of purchase of the guest’s ticket by contacting the Pirates Customer Service Department at 1-800-BUY-BUCS (1-800-289-2827) or emailing [email protected]. Tickets must be picked up in person at the PNC Park Ticket Office and the guest and PCA must both be present. In the event that the Pirates have reason to believe that the policy regarding admission of PCAs is being violated, the Pirates reserve the right to require the guest to provide documentation showing that the person accompanying the guest and receiving complimentary admission is the guest’s government-funded PCA. If the Pirates discover that the guest or PCA has misrepresented the purpose of the PCA’s attendance, or that the PCA has acted as a guest instead of performing the functions of the PCA while at a game, the Pirates reserve the right to take all appropriate action including ejecting both the guest and PCA from the game and barring the guest and PCA from future entry.
