Can't you still buy General Admission tickets for the Belmont Stakes on the day of the race?

Question

I see all these general admission tickets for sale on eBay for over $100 each, but I thought you could walk up to the track the day of and pay regular price like always. I could swear we did that for the Smarty Jones Belmont.....

Answer 1

you could get into the belmont stakes by paying at the gate, I do it every year.  the general admission tickets will get you a seat in the grandstand.  i was also at the smarty jones belmont and when the stakes race started everyone from the picnic area rushed towards the track.  you know the bottom level without seats.  i had to literally jump on top of people to see the action and i could only see it every time i jumped. if i go this year i want to buy a grandstand ticket online so i could watch from the second or third level in a seat and really see the race.

Answer 2

sure

Answer 3
