Did anybody try to get on the surprise Derby tickets sale this morning? Just an absolutely fustercluck. I know I couldn't get the online ticketing system to work to save my life. Hopefully, other ticket sales will happen as we get closer to May.

Oh, but you get an "infield club" pass for you $500! That's certainly worth the extra $300 per seat or so over last year's prices.

I called the Premium Seating office last week and they mentioned an on-line sale this week but did not mention when. I must have missed the announcement -- the website now says they are sold out. Last year, they would sell you Derby/Oaks tickets over the phone -- I got the impression they might not do this for 2011. However, I will keep calling them (persistence does not hurt).
An on-line sale is a poor way for loyal Derby fans to have a chance at Derby tickets -- I have to believe that the ticket brokers jump all over these sales. I think the surprise element was meant to keep the ticket brokers out but I wonder how successful it was.

Absolute mess of a sale. I received an email at 12:11 that the sale had already begun. I got into the "purchase section" several different times only to have the site freeze, kick me back to the waiting screen, or tell me that tickets were unavailable.
I have had the same amazing seats for the last 3 years (due to my PSL and then being able to get them again when calling premium seating last year). I have callled premium seating several times this year and have been informed that ALL seats will be available online only. I asked the lady how people were selling their tickets on ebay in August for Derby 2011 and she had no reply. I wrote an email to customer service stating that the site was a mess. I received an apology and a "good luck" to received tickets in future sales. Thanks Churchill.

I called Churchill Downs again today. The only Derby tickets available that you can buy over the phone require:
(1) expensive PSL for box seats. (2) Turf Club membership (3) or Section 122-125 1st Floor Grandstand seats for both the Derby and Oaks with access to the Infield Club and a free lunch for $550 per ticket. I am not paying $550 to sit in the 1st Floor Grandstand. They did mention that there should be another on-line sale shortly (where they announce the sale, with no advance warning, after it has begun).
