Yesterday's sale was a joke. Face value on some of these seats are like $100, yet they're asking people to spend $600 on a two day package that includes "lunch?" Really?

They must be trying to attract the "suckers" who will pay this $600 by doing these on-line sales. Ticket brokers would even have a hard time reselling these tickets at a profit.

They will have another more public sale on Saturday but I am expecting the same ripoff prices and very little seats available on a very poor web interface.

I am wondering what Churchill has done with all the 2nd Floor Grandstand seats a number of us here at DerbyTrail used to purchase. There were very few second floor seats included in these on-line sales.

I'm going to be at CD for opening day the prior weekend, so this might be the year I bail on the Derby itself. I don't see how $600 for first floor grandstand seats for two days is worth it.

I would not give up hope just yet. I live in Louisville and will keep trying for tickets and will keep the board informed.

I went back to check to see if there were any tickets left from Wednesday's sale and clicked on the website link in my browsing history and lo and behold, it appears to let you go in and buy tickets. I PMed some of you on this thread with the website link. But the prices are still unreasonably high unless you want Section 128. And right now there were no 2nd Floor Grandstand seats out there -- who bought all the 2nd Floor seats that a number of us used to have in prior years?

Thanks for that, appreciate it. Might jump on the 128 tickets just to get some and try and upgrade for Derby Day.

I wonder if the link I sent you is an intended back door into their website. I guess the worst they can do is not honor the sale and not charge your credit card. But if it allows you to purchase the tickets, they should honor the sale. I will probably also go in and buy the Section 128 tickets.
