slotdirt: Keep trying to get a live person while there are good seats available.

The first time I called in the morning I got a voice mail message -- when I tried later that afternoon, I was able to get a live person. It appears that they are getting a very large amount of phone requests for tickets right now (as both employees I talked to on the phone sounded extremely busy, although they were very helpful).

I got a hold of somebody and she is sending me a brochure. She was swamped. Sounds like they still have seats available.

Shifting topics slightly, is it possible to just do a $50 GA ticket, not do the infield, and still have a good time?

Slot, they asked me for a patron number when I called earlier this month. A couple weeks later I got the brochure. I'm not sure sure if that is required or not.

Persistence pays! I just got a hold of someone, and I'm sitting in section 125 - not too fancy, but it's what they had available - and I'll get an invoice in the next several days. It's my understanding the personal seat license is for two years, so I'll have the option to retain the tickets for next year if I so choose (and I do so choose).

Thanks for the heads up on this, guys!

EDITED: to say that I just heard back and we're in row A, section 125. I had seats similar to this for the 2006 Derby, and there is nothing like front row seats for taking pictures at the Derby. Zero protection from the rain, but I'll take it.

Great news. Regarding the personal seat license, do you have to pay the PSL fee again next year ? I thought they told me you could retain the seats but still had to pay the fee.

I don't know. The Bloodhorse article from today indicates that it's a two year fee as I read it.
