Who at this time is definitely heading to The Belmont. I received the green light tonight from my wife and I'm just trying to find a buddy to roll with me. Looks as I will be staying at a hotel near JFK airport. I haven't purchased tickets as of now but will be locking them in by Friday. Let me know where you all are sitting or if you all want to get near each other for this event. I sent John G an email and it would be great for us to meet at the sight of seeing the newest Triple Crown Winner along with a great day of racing as well.

I'll be there. Staying @ a hotel near La Guardia (Plaza something). Doing 2 nights in the Hamptons staying with a friend's relatives then making our way towards Elmont early Saturday morning.
I too have yet to purchase tickets. I feel they are over priced on StubHub right now and am hoping for them to come down a bit. I'll likely be somewhere in the grandstand near the 8th pole.
Let me know if you have any suggestions on affordable tickets.
What is your price range on tickets?
$150-$200 each (Need 3). I'd go a touch over $200 for great seats.
Dropping 3 grand on my bar application and prep course has murdered my bank roll.
JG, sorry to hear that. Your family will be in my prayers.
I'm still hopeful that we can find 2nd floor clubhouse or preferred grandstand for under $500.00.
Flyin needs 3, I will probably need 2 and John looks at this time needs 1. So we could lock up a whole box of 6 for our crew. I will start looking for 6 together if you all would like. If we can confirm this by Monday or Tuesday of next week I will purchase them and you all square me up in New York.

As long as it falls in my price range consider myself and my two buddies game. Can also quickpay or paypal the money sooner if you'd like. Let me know if you have any luck.

Hey Kenny -
We will be in Section 3V Row 04
I have been sitting in this area for 25 years. In my opinion the best seats are in the third deck near the 1/8 th pole, which is where I am. The Belmont is usually won or lost on the turn, and these are the best seats to see it happen.
The $269/per ticket is going to be a tad rich for our blood.
Row V is going to be pretty high up there.
The Section U seats bring us 1 section closer to the 16th pole and about 4 rows down.
Look I'm working on all outs at this time for us. You all give me $600.00 in NY and I will cover the rest if I can come up with something better for us. If I can get a firm commitment from my buddy I will lock us in soon.
Consider us in :drinking:
10-4
Been looking around and haven't had much luck. Clubhouse might just allow for access to the indoor clubhouse?
The nyra site is horrible in defining the difference of the areas. I have called to no avail at this time.
Clubhouse Admission IS INCLUDED with all Reserved Seats Sales for the Belmont Stakes.
That completely voids my guess.
Grandstand - no tv monitors
Preferred Grandstand - No tv monitors and just closer to finish line
Clubouse - Tv monitors and on or past the finish line.
Amazing how such a simple clarification took an hour.
You'd think their website would clearly lay out the differences between seating options.
Tv monitors don't mean anything to me as I will only be wagering on the Belmont card that day and drinking my ass off.
Just kidding---$5.00 winner does not quite pay for NYRA!
I'm open for anything you fellows want to do.---I prefer Clubhouse--but preferred grandstand is ok too.
Let me know where you are staying( E-Mail) so we can get the logistics down.
Can't wait for a day in HISTORY!
Amen. Whatever you guys want to do works for me.
I would suggest using stubhub if you are catching the ballgame too. More likely you will pay under face value
I went to Belmont the year empire maker won. rained like holy hell but becuase funny cide was rolling it was packed. never again on a big race day for me. id rather watch on the bigscreen at home for those big days.
ME
I'm just takin a Greyhound down the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York STATE OF MIND!
Only one of my friends are flying. Myself and my buddy Joe are driving all the way in from Illinois to Southampton. Going to be a long interesting weekend. Can't wait to bring home the first TC winner in my lifetime with none other than some of the HRT crew.
Also, it seems like prices went down over night on tickets across the board.
