Breeders Cup 07 huh?

[bmont22]

Are they serious charging $50 for general admission? $100 - $250 for seats? And pre-purchased parking only?


I remember the last 2 years you could get reserved seats tickets from brokers for about $10 the week of the race.

When it was in Florida years ago, that was the going price.

$50 for general admission?! I got in to see the '04 Belmont Stakes for $1.

Think how much they will charge once they expand it all the way to 118 BC races.
Do you think you will get to see them crown the 2yo filly 5f polytrack champion for cheap? No way.

No price is too high to see a real champion.

Is this per day or total? Per day, that's steep.

The prepurchased parking thing is actually a good idea at Monmouth. They have a fairly big lot but it will deter people from driving, and 36 backs up really really bad even on moderately busy race days.
NJ Transit takes you right there and hopefully people will use it.

$10 for general admission on Friday.

Me too, but I had to play the pity card and use my friend with a broken rib to get closer to the front, otherwise I would have watched the back of people's heads for two minutes. I think my friend has forgiven me for shoving her out of the way when the race started so I could see. Whatever; she had a broken rib; she couldn't shove back.
