Thanks. Sometimes I forget just how huge Santa Anita is. A big crowd seemed small in that place.

if they take the same approach to ticketing for the bc as they do opening day, you just keep cramming bodies in and hope the seams hold.

I want to come to Opening Day, what do I need to order?

To enter the facility, all you need is an Opening Day Admission Ticket. You may order these in advance or purchase Admission as you walk through the gate. We never “sell out” of Admissions. If you would like a Reserved Seat, you may order them through the Online Ticket Office beginning May 11th. The Clubhouse admission price for Opening Day is $20.00 and the Stretch Run is $10.00. Discount Admission books are not valid on Opening Day. If you are purchasing Reserved Seating for Opening Day be sure to also purchase Opening Day Stretch Run or Opening Day Clubhouse Admission.

Why are Admissions and Reserved Seats a separate charge?

Not everyone who comes to the racetrack wants a Reserved Seat. Some prefer to spend their time in the paddock, infield, or one of the many sports pubs. Children 17 and under do not require an Admission Ticket but will require a seat if you are purchasing Reserved Seating or Dining Tables.
