2008 Derby Tickets

I think Cannon is being at least half facetious. Half.

i received my invoice back in October. Paid right away. They mail the tickets out first week in April.

if you dont have an invoice yet it looks like no tickets. They always want them paid for by Oct.31


if you have tickets from the previous year you have to re-apply the following year. You get priority but no guarantee. You also must write each year a note telling them you had tickets the previous year with a photocopy of the previous year's invoice or stub.

I think he is too but I know that there was a lot of fuss over a couple of Press Releases that gave more tickets for corporate use and one if I recall said that you had to pay up front to have certain seats for a number of years-a debenture-it sounded like if they could get away with it-they would ensure that all tickets would be debenture style.

The Ky Colonels package is $895 but includes 2 other functions, tickets and lunch in the Museum on both Friday and Saturday.

I have only had a patron number for 3 years. I did not receive an invoice this year so I called the office. They asked how many Twin Spires points I had. The woman said something about a new program which would require a personal seat license. I think they are going ask for 1000.00 a seat.

Well that is freaking ridiculous. I got seats last year through the lottery, but was only number like 800 out of 3400 or whatever in this year's lottery. I'll happily pay the seat license if that means I don't have to worry about getting tickets every single year.

What do you guys think is my best chance at trying to get some tickets to this years Kentucky Derby?? My dad told me a few years ago that he wants to make it to atleast one Kentucky Derby, so I decided to look into it this year. Ebay my only chance?

I would pony up.. the KD is an awesome event!

I will find out more about the seat license in Mid January. I was initially told that it would be a 5 year deal. It amounts to an extra 200.00 per ticket times 10. The face value in my section was 98 bucks a piece last year.
