There is a pretty good secondary market for sports tickets in New York. That means tickets could very well be under priced. That isn't remotely close to true for horse racing.

The secondary market often sells tickets for less than face value which is why the yankees have tried to set up their own with mandatory minimums. I went to a day game last year at Yankee Stadium and got 2 club level tickets with a $90 face value for $40 each. Of course I had to pay close to $40 to park.
This price increase isnt going to affect Belmont because pretty much no one goes there anyway. Most of the time when I stop by Belmont I see very few people that dont old racing licenses that gets them in free.
