Royals FanFest two-day affair at Bartle Hall

SEATTLE -- The 2014 Royals FanFest will be held on Friday, Jan. 31, and Saturday, Feb. 1, and, for the first time, at the Kansas City Convention Center's Bartle Hall.

Bartle Hall was the site of the 2012 MLB All-Star FanFest and was a big success. The downtown facility will provide more room for fans to view exhibits and participate in the festivities, the Royals said. Previous Royals FanFests have been held at the Overland Park Convention Center.

The event, returning to a two-day format instead of 2013's one day, will feature autograph sessions with current and former Royals, main stage programs, interactive games, special activities, merchandise and memorabilia. The Major League club's award winners also will be honored.

Royals 2014 season-ticket holders will have exclusive access on both days before the event opens to the public.

Fans can obtain FanFest tickets at Royals.com/fanfest, by calling 816-504-4040 or by visiting the Kauffman Stadium Box Office from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT on Monday through Friday.

Ticket prices for one day are: Adult advance, $13; adult day of sale, $15; youth advance, $7; youth day of sale, $9. Prices for two days are: Adult advance, $19; adult day of sale, $23; youth advance, $10; youth day of sale, $13. (Youth prices are for children 6-17. Children 5 and under will be admitted free.)
