Is it Possible to Buy Preakness Infield Tickets from a Scalper?

Question

Its been a few years since I have gone...I used to always be able to get infield tix right outside the gate from random dudes for about 30-40 bucks. It ends being close to $60 on ticketmaster for this year...will I find a better deal on race day or should I just pull the trigger over the web???

Answer 1

i should know this, but i don't. just pull the trigger.

Answer 2

At this time you should just take you chances on Pimlico.  There are always infield tix or standing room.  If you go online, other than ticketmaster or preakness.com, you may not get your tix and have to buy at the track anyway.

Currently the infield is not sold out.  Most other seating is sold out.  I have included a link.

If you get a chance to, the best of the Triple Crown races is the Belmont.  It is only $5 to get in and the train takes you the the track.  

If you want to attend the Breeders Cup at Santa Anita, let me know.  I have information on Tix for it too.
