You don't need to sell off the whole track but why wouldn't it make sense to at least do the choice seats and why wouldn't they sell if priced properly?
No one would buy them. It's not like other sports where you could potentially resell the tickets for thousands of dollars. What does the most expensive seat at Saratoga sell for? Maybe a few hundred bucks on Travers day? What about every non-Saturday? You can't pitch it as an investment like you can in football. There are too many days where you couldn't give away those seats and at Saratoga most of the action is in the backyard anyway.
