I ordered my tickets the first day they were available. I'll be there! Going to be an all time great card and epic Belmont.

Agree. This could be a Belmont for the ages.

There is nothing in all of sports like the roar of the crowd when the possible Triple Crown winner comes off of the turn and into the stretch with a chance of winning. The sound of the crowd is deafening. The sound travels like a wave as it follows the horses down the track.

It must be awesome for the jockeys to hear the crowd roaring during the stretch run!

Why did you chance going through Stub Hub when NYRA used Ticketmaster as the outlet for their tickets? Is it possible that Stub Hub, having bought up blocks of seats can sell more seats than they actually have available? I've never bought tickets from them, this is why I'm asking. Couldn't you be duped? Or is it all on the up and up?

Agree!! Was there in 77 and 78 and was the experience of a lifetime!! Was there other years that the tc was in play,and after race was over you could hear a pin drop!!!!

Except, when Easy Goer won! LOL

But General Admission is unlimited and available at the door. I hope you didn't pay more than $10.

You can also buy General Admission through nyra. Go to nyra.com or belmontstakes.com

Here's a tip, but it takes some chutzpah:

Buy a ticket that lets you sit in the little eating area (I can't remember whether it's the clubhouse or grandstand side). These are more expensive than general admission, but at least you get a table and a fancier ticket.

Then just before the running of the Belmont Stakes walk to the grandstand or clubhouse with your ticket and flash it to the usher and act like your seats are in the grandstand or clubhouse seating area.

The ushers are likely watching the race like everyone else. Everyone who has a seat will be standing to watch the race. Start walking up the steps like you're going to your seat. Then just stand on the steps like you're watching the race. There will be so many people standing and watching that no will notice you.

It worked for us last time we went.

Still waiting for my tickets from ticketmaster which were paid for over a month ago. They need to ship these tickets now.
