TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2020 Gasparilla
Pirate Fest is a good day to be a pirate – or to just be named
Morgan. Captain Morgan is always looking out for its crew, and this
year the spiced rum is coming through with free Gasparilla Pirate
Fest Scully VIP Hospitality tickets for up to 10 'Morgans' and two
members of their crew (21 or over). The VIP tickets include access
to the parade route and hospitality area just south of Howard
Avenue on Bayshore Boulevard with a picnic-style buffet lunch. It's
the easiest plunder in the history of the high seas.
Adults of legal drinking age with a first, middle or last name
of Morgan* can claim the free Gasparilla Pirate Fest Scully VIP
Hospitality tickets for themselves and their crew at 501 East
Kennedy Boulevard, Room 14A in downtown Tampa (between N. Morgan & N. Pierce
Streets) on Friday, January
24th from 2pm to 6pm
ET** (the day before the 2020 Gasparilla Pirate Fest).
Captain Morgan also wants to make sure that everyone – not just
Morgans – will have access to safe transportation during the good
times. So leave the cars, ships and any other vehicles docked and
save some doubloons by taking advantage of up to $20,000 in Lyft Ride Smart credits that the
Captain is doling out with the discount code CAPTAINMORGAN20.
"Hundreds of thousands of people and pirates will be invading
Tampa next weekend, and if you've
ever been a part of the Gasparilla experience before, you know just
how exciting the celebrations are," said Christina Choi, DIAGEO Senior Vice President,
Rum, Gin & Tequila. "Captain Morgan wants to make sure that as
many people as possible are having a fun and safe experience.
Getting some of our fellow Morgans closer to the action and
offering up to $20,000 in Lyft Ride
Smart credits is our way of doing just that."
All Lyft users 21 and older who use the discount code on
Saturday, January 25th will be given
a $20 credit toward their ride fare.
The discount will be available from 9:00
a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to
9:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 25th***. Feel free to raise a
grog to that.
"This Gasparilla, we're encouraging those celebrating to plan
ahead with a Lyft ride to help them explore Tampa and not worry about parking or how to
get home afterwards," said Yun Ling,
Florida General Manager for Lyft. "We're excited to partner with
Captain Morgan to give Tampa
residents and visitors a reliable, affordable ride option."
