Getting Derby tickets outside of the track
 

I have been to the Derby 4 times in the last 8 years, unfortunately we don't have tickets in advance this year. I was wondering if anyone has experience buying tickets outside of the track the morning of? Is there a popular street corner or area where people are selling tickets, and are they outragous prices? Thanks

You're probably better off buying on e-bay...

I believe your only hope is if there is bad weather.

Depends on what you are looking for. There will be tickets, and quite a few being sold around the grounds. If you aren't looking for the premium seats in the clubhouse level, you can probably come up with some that are somewhat reasonably priced.

Plan ahead by locating a place to watch the early races (a bar for example,preferably with internet). Before the first race its a sellers market. As the races progress you will get your best deal.
