There is no demand for clubhouse admission to Belmont, or any admission to Belmont. I could see if this were for days with G1 races, or something like that. But a Wednesday or Thursday afternoon to see five maiden races, a couple claiming races, and some bad statebreds? Come on. You probably won't find two people in the crowd those days that are there for the sporting aspect.
ticket prices also depend on the opponent. we're pricing hockey games, and caps vs boston is significantly higher priced then caps vs kings.

People still go to the track? And they pay? I can see why NYRA would think that they'd then be willing to pay even more.
