Below there was one comment that summed it up pretty good. Makes you wonder how another small facility like Del Mar will work out regarding tickets.

Del Mar is a LOT larger than Keeneland, including a double decked grandstand and clubhouse, private suites, a turf club, and a large infield.

They can't be serious, can they?

When it comes to dealing with ticket scalpers i have a standing rule. Wait them out.
I always win.
Wait until the last day. If going both Fri and Sat is an imperative, wait until just after the first race. The sellers will be dumping their tix for coast or less.
They will be at the shuttle parking lots selling.

The scalpers throw them out there at ridiculous numbers in case anyone is dumb enough to pull the trigger. As things settle down, and the event draws near, I would expect grandstand seats to go for about $800-1000 a piece. Just my best guess, but if I got shut out, I'd be patiently waiting before thinking twice about paying that ridiculous price.

Don't pay that. Make your plans flexible. Those tickets will be face value or less on race day.

This is such a mess. How do you create fans, or even keep the ones you have, like this? This is pure depressing. Can't Breeders' Cup do any damn thing right?

I didn't want or plan to go to BC at Keeneland. Choosing instead to wager elsewhere or at home, still I feel for those who are going, and those who wanted to go. ... Again, all is about greed.

As I stated earlier in the thread, ticket brokers rule the day. These companies have computer software that allow them to buy blocks of tickets in mere seconds. As a result, the system selling the tickets cannot handle the traffic and it either crashes or is saddled by lengthy delays...
I wanted to be there for this event, but I don't see very comfortable atmosphere for those not seated in the grandstand.
It is my hope that Keeneland pulls this event off and has a good weekend.
I will be watching from home.

I went to the BC three times. The last time it was at Churchill, Monmouth and the last time it was at Belmont. All three times I waited until the week before and got tickets on Stubhub/ebay for face value, or less than face value.
I wouldn’t blame the “ticket scalpers”. I wouldn’t be surprised if the BC had a pre-arranged deal with them to put a few hundred tickets up for sale. Why not? If someone is crazy enough to pay thousands of dollars, let em. the NFL does it all the time.
