Previous Season Ticket Details
Pirates 2023 Tickets Guide
The 2022 season was an ominous anniversary for the Pirates - it marked the 30th year since their last division title. Following another 100-loss campaign, the franchise seems no closer to that elusive N.L. Central crown.
For the first three months of the 2022 season, Pirates tickets were the 20th most popular MLB ticket on RateYourSeats.com. But by the All-Star break, that ranking dropped to 27th (of 30).
The team added a number of veterans to complement their young roster, and there doesn't seem to be a runaway favorite in the division. If the team can play competitive baseball to start the season, Pirates tickets may see a surge in interest in 2023.

How Much are Pirates Tickets?
2023 Ticket Prices
The Pirates did not make any formal announcements regarding ticket prices for the 2023 season.
Generally speaking, Pirates tickets on the secondary market are one of the more affordable options in Major League Baseball. The average get-in price for most of 2022 was one of the ten-lowest figures in the league for most of the year.
Through the first two months of this year, 2023 Pirates tickets are averaging 10% less than the first two months of last year. We expect this trend to continue if the Pirates have trouble winning games.
Cheap Pirates Tickets
Most of the cheap Pirates games at PNC Park are at the beginning of the season against teams expected to struggle. This includes series against the Reds, Rockies and Diamondbacks.
Cheaper tickets are also available for afternoon games during the week. This includes 13 games on a Wednesday or Thursday with a 12:35 pm start time. This is one of the best ways to find a good deal for one of the Astros, Dodgers or Cubs games.
Key Series in 2023
The Pirates play 22 different teams at PNC Park in 2023. This includes all teams from the National League and eight teams from the A.L.
This will be the first time in the wild card era that the Pirates have played all six division winners at home in the same season. In addition to the N.L. teams they play every year, they'll see the Guardians, Astros and Yankees at home in 2023.
Here are the hottest Pirates matchups and tickets for 2023:
White Sox vs. Pirates - Apr 7-9
For more than 50 years at the beginning of the 20th century, the Pirates only opened their season against the Reds, Cardinals or Cubs. This year they'll start off with an inter-league battle against the White Sox.
Assuming the weather is nice, this weekend series should draw decent crowds as the 2023 season gets underway in Pittsburgh.

Best Ticket Options at PNC Park
Tickets close to the field are the best to catch a Pirates game. Sitting between sections 6 and 27 is a great place to watch the game and get up close to see favorite players.
Within that group of sections is the Home Plate Club in sections 14-19. These seats directly behind home plate come with additional exclusive amenities.
The table below lists top ticket options with the lowest price for the rest of the season (as of Dec. 16, 2024) and a link to explore seats.
Cheaper Options
The cheapest PNC Park seats are typically in the Grandstand seats or 300 level. The outfield sections (135-147) are also a good option for those who do not want to be high up.
If you are looking for cheap tickets without amenities, the best place to look is in the Infield Box seats. Sitting here brings you closer at a lower price than the more premium options.
2023 Changes at PNC Park
PNC Park has no seating upgrades for 2023, but there are changes to the fan experience. In the offseason, the park upgraded about 8,415 square feet of concourse space, including concessions and the clubhouse store.
