Shutting the fans out?

I could see it at Saratoga for the Travers. Dont they have season tickets you can purchase for the Saratoga meet?

Not specifically. But you basically get the same seats, I think, if you order every day or a bunch of days.

Gotcha. You think The Preakness draws enough interest to charge a PSL fee? Belmont could if they could guarantee a possible triple crown each year.

Shoot, I'd love to just have the opportunity to fork over a grand to hold my seats for five years.

Preakness tickets will still be available on May 1 if you'd like to buy them. There's no chance a fee of this variety would be necessary.

People need to find monetary discipline.There is a reason why they can charge astronomical prices to even an f'n baseball game(81 of those in each team's ballpark.)People simply lose all control when they go to these live sporting events.This is a nationwide sickness.My God people,Mike Piazza is so far over the hill that I might just allow that one player the o.k. to use amphetamines(because that bat moves so slowly.)Paying him 8 mil a year is simply a public abortion.They can afford to do it because fans will pay damn near $5 for a bag of peanuts.Fans need to say no.The author of this story finally did that.People get run over because they allow it.Dont pay these amounts.It isn't right.Just because the idiot beside you also paid it,doesn't make it right.Prisons are full of like-minded fools.
