Breeders' Cup Seating and Tickets
|
Reserved seats at big events can be difficult and expensive to obtain and the
Breeders' Cup is no exception. This year tickets were once again sold via a
lottery among all the people who had signed up as wanting tickets. Belmont Park
is very large and while they have 32,941 reserved seats, the Breeders' Cup takes
over a large section of the best seats for owners, breeders, and other
connections. Figures have not been released on how many seats are available to
the general public, but it should be in the 20,000 range. The ticket lottery
closed the end of July and any tickets left after that will go first come first
served. Once they sell out, you can still go general admission for $10 ($25 for
clubhouse). Belmont has a large back yard with picnic tables as well as ample
free bench seating on the apron, so if you come general admission you can still
get a good seat if you arrive early. If you really want a reserved seat and miss
out on the ticket lottery, your only option for getting a ticket would be to go
to a ticket broker or try to buy direct from someone on eBay or an online forum
or classifieds. Belmont has space for 18,500 cars to park but these will go fast given the
number of people who will attend. You can get general parking on the day of the
event for $10 or preferred parking for $25 if any is left after the ticket
lottery. If can get it, go for the preferred spots as the walk is MUCH shorter.
As in past years, there will be lots of tickets for sale outside the gates on
Breeders' Cup day, but be very careful if you try to buy tickets that way. New
York's rules on reselling tickets is no more than face value plus the greater of
20% of the ticket price or $5. That means only $5 over the face value given the
cost of these tickets, so be careful whether you are buying or selling. If you
buy off Ebay, they only enforce this rule for residents of New York in their
auctions. If you really want to go, there are tons of tickets available via ticket
brokers but be prepared to pay up to 10 times the face value. Before paying
those high prices, try the various online forums, classifieds, and auctions to
get one at a more reasonable price.Below is a seating diagram of Belmont Park for the Breeders' Cup. Also
included are links to Expedia and Travelocity in case you want to check out air
fares, car rentals, or hotel prices.
