2010 Derby Personal Seat Licenses

[slotdirt]

Amazingly, both Preakness and Belmont tickets are now available...on Ticketmaster? Anyway, I'll be making a return to Elmont for the first time since 2008. Have to get my Triple Crown fix somehow.

Not everybody is my group is making it this year so I have some extras if anybody is interested:

Oaks - 3 tickets - Section 126 Row V
Derby - probably 1 ticket (but maybe 3) - Section 126 Row V

Also have an extra hotel room at the airport. Check in Friday, out on Sunday. Booked it a year ago before they jacked up the rates. PM me if interested.

I get the feeling that the 'unfulfilled' ticket requesters may get together and take a little collective litigation against CDI...............what BS.

How so? The rules are right there for all to see. If you send your $100, you are agreeing to the terms set forth.

I'm glad we went when we did, got it out of the system cause there is zero chance I would ever agree to this.

More alienation of the wrong people.

So I did read it correctly... not exactly a 'fan friendly' move on their part.

[slotdirt]

Well, depends on your definition of "fan friendly," I suppose.

[mbahadur]

Per Jenny Rees Courier Journal article:

With being able to specify 10 preferred locations for seats and the ability to pay a 20% premium to go to the head of the list (for Derby tickets, it's worth it), I think I will take my chances and risk the $50.

http://www.courier-journal.com/artic...don-t-get-seat

Under the new system, fans can sign up
online at churchilldowns.com/tickets to
start the process.

On Nov. 7 they will receive an email
including a seating-preference request
form. Applicants can list up to 10 locations
in order of preference. In addition, they
can agree to pay 20 percent more for the
tickets in order to go to the head of the
line.

Everyone applying must provide a $100
deposit via credit card with a deadline of
Nov. 20. Of that, $50 will be credited
toward the cost of the seats if a person
gets tickets. The other $50 goes toward
the administrative fee.

For those who don’t get tickets, $50 will be
refunded.
