Unless you've got reserved seating in the temp bleachers, you won't even be allowed out the grandstand doors on the trackside.

That is very true and very accurate. They are designing the infrastructure that way.
Also, I don't know all the nuances and idiosyncrasies on the ticketing, charging, etc. process; however, a NJTHA newsletter addressed the entire process. What I found very interesting is that I also received -- under seperate cover -- a very detailed letter from the President of the NJTHA on the very same subject; basically saying that if we wanted tickets the NJTHA would be requesting them and buying them on behalf of us. They were promised very good seats for the membership but had to get their allocation in early.
Anyway, after talking to a few people invovled in the entire process, it sounds to me like there are some things that need to be worked out. I don't know if anything is written in stone other than, unfortunately, many people being dissappointed.
As much as they said it was, I am not so sure what they said was written in stone -- was actually written in stone.
