Limited Seating Available For Belmont Stakes

His seemingly effortless victory in last Saturday's Kentucky Derby has many people expecting another chance for a Triple Crown winner in the 138th running of the Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Stakes, the 1 ½-mile "Test of the Champion" on Saturday, June 10 at Belmont Park.
True, Barbaro would have to win the Preakness at Pimlico on May 20 in order to have a chance at becoming racing's 12th Triple Crown winner and first since Affirmed in 1978, but many people are already securing seats for the Belmont Stakes, the oldest and longest leg of the Triple Crown races.
The New York Racing Association has a limited number of grandstand reserved seats, located near the eighth-pole, for $60 and $40. There are clubhouse apron reserved seats for $50 (just past the finish line) and preferred grandstand apron reserved for $80 (along the stretch run). All reserved seats include the appropriate admission fee. Call 1-800-814-7846 for more information or for information about faxing applications.
"It is the best entertainment value that the sporting dollar can buy," said NYRA Senior Vice President Bill Nader. "One of the best things about the greatest city in the world is New York is an event town. There is no bigger event than the Belmont Stakes and no bigger or better venue than Belmont Park."
Clubhouse walk-around admission is $10 and grandstand walk-around admission is $5.
General parking is $10 and will be available on Belmont Stakes' Day.
NYRA strongly recommends that fans interested in Belmont Stakes seats deal with the NYRA Admissions Department, as NYRA cannot be responsible for the validity of tickets bought at on-line sites or through scalpers. NYRA tickets may not be resold and are otherwise non-transferable. NYRA reserves the right to refuse to honor tickets that have been resold or otherwise transferred. NYRA actively monitors websites for scalper activity.
Any re-sale of tickets in violation of law could subject the seller to both criminal and civil penalties. Tickets may not be resold or offered for resale at a premium in excess of the amount allowed by any federal, state or local law or regulation. The New York Arts & Cultural Affairs Law establishes that the maximum premium price on tickets in places of entertainment shall not exceed the sum of the established price (the price printed on the ticket) plus five dollars or 10 percent of the established price, whichever is greater, plus lawful taxes.
