That is the interview I was referring to TW. If that version was at the picnic table next to me at Saratoga I'd move the blanket.

Repole is partners with Jockey Club members Phipps and Viola in the Pegasus World Cup today. Awkward.

Just purchased General Admission tickets for Thursday and Friday. Thinking that Saturday might be a clusterf%@* on the scale of Travers Day, or worse, with many out-of-towners//newbies. Better experience watching from Backyard Downs that day. Hey Doc, are you thinking about attending? Hoop? Anybody? Tickets/info: www.belmontstakes.comTW

Possible but not probable. Can also envision a cluster. House party and grilling never disappoints.

I was ready to get the four day pass NYRA advertised.After about a half hour of trying to log in(Suspisious site block)I get to TM and found no such offer With the surcharge it probably wouldn't have amounted to much if anything.I gave up.I'll do about the same Tom.Thursday,Friday for sure and to be honest it may be hard for me not to go Saturday.I agree that it could be a clusterfuk but not much worse than Travers Day.

After trying over parts of 2 days and getting kicked out several times I was finally able to get my 4 day pass. Go to Belmont every year and pay 60-75 just to get in on Belmont day so 93 for 4 days at the beautiful spa not that bad In my opinion.

$450 for a picnic table? Greed. After attending 35 Kentucky Derbys in a 38 year period, Churchill Downs' greed was what finally ended that tradition for me several years ago. I still love the track and the event, but don't think I'll go back for it. Keeneland on the other hand still offers a relatively pure experience for reasonable prices.

lol----I just paid $65 stubhub($23 fees!) for 1 seat in Section C Row J for Bluegrass day(April 6)— we are planning to run Bo Cruz in the 7f Commonwealth on that day. Parking pass was offered for pretty much same price—passed. counting on the track to offer us something---also nominated to the 7f Alysheba on Ky Oaks day. Was at a party in FL where I was introduced to a couple who offered to sell their box for KY Oaks day face value ($2900 6 seats 3rd floor Section 320 Row A--which is incredibly good if it doesnt rain). I grabbed it--might keep it might sell it to partners if Bo Cruz runs that day.
NYRA reached out to me a few times about Belmont @ Saratoga packages---very pricey by any standard-makes $600 for a 5day Royal Enclosure pass for Royal Ascot look very affordable.....
times have changed.........

That Royal Ascot package is a great deal although a four day pass at The Masters for $450 takes some beating

The Justice Department is preparing to file a federal antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster, according to multiple reports. The Wall Street Journal first reported Monday that the Justice Department will be filing an antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation in the coming weeks, citing people familiar with the matter. Live Nation and Ticketmaster have faced widespread public scrutiny for its dominance in the ticketing industry, which critics say has allowed them to raise prices on live entertainment.

What happened to being able to buy tickets/seats directly from the venue without the middle man? Guess I’m old.
