Title: Belmont Tix -- 6th time's a charm?
Post by: dpatent on May 23, 2008, 04:27:50 PM
I have had the distinct pleasure of being present for the failed TC bids of Real Quiet, Charismatic, War Emblem, Funny Cide, and Smarty Jones.  Maybe this is the year?

I am flying out to NYC on Friday and am looking for two tix to Belmont.  We have an application with NYRA -- submitted two weeks ago -- but I don\'t know if that is going to come thru.

I am willing to pay a reasonable price.  Anybody with a line on tix or suggestions?

Thanks.

Stub hub (.com) appears to have plenty of seats, but having never been to the Belmont I cant tell you if the prices are \"reasonable\"

hi,
  I am an everyday sheetplayer and track \"attendee\" everyday for the past 35 years.
REALLY DON\'T NEED TO BE THERE EXCEPT TO SEE \"FEET\" ON OCCASION ANYWAY!!
 I HAVE 2 SEATS WITH A TV/BETTING COMPUTER TERMINAL AT MY EVERYDAY SEAT OF WHICH I WOULD BE WILLING TO SELL IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT!!$$
 I HAVE 2 SEATS IN THE CLUBHOUSE \"HANDICAPPING ROOM\" WHICH IS A PRIVATE AREA...
I WILL SELL THE 2 TICKETS {INCLUDED IS ALSO ADMISSION PRICE AND POSSIBLY FRONT ROW PARKING } IN THE PACKAGE I AM SETTING UP FOR $600 DOLLARS.
{IF I CAN GET THE FRONT ROW PARKING WHICH WILL SAVE YOU A VERY LONG WALK, IT WOULD BE $225 EXTRA!!}
REMEMBER, I NEED TO KNOW A.S.A.P. SO WE CAN MAKE ARRANGEMENTS...
THIS TRIPLE CROWN EVENT CAN POSSIBLY BE A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT AND THE PRICE I AM ASKING IS VERY REASONABLE I FEEL.
P.S.--DENNIS OF CORK WILL BE IN THE EXACTA!!    THAT\'S A FREEBIE!     LOL

EBAY is probably your best bet..I saw some really good deals on there.

And I\'m offering 1 ticket for the printed price - $40 (see previous post, surprised there are no takers yet) lower grandstand at the 1/8th pole.

Ron, Great! I remember you, a sharp handicapper. I\'ll meet you Saturday at the grandstand  bus gate entrance at the top of the stretch. I\'m leaving early to beat the crowd, and I should get there at 10:00 A.M. Why don\'t you e-mail me so we don\'t clog up JB\'s board and we can settle any other meeting arrangements.

Try Craigslist
http://newyork.craigslist.org/search/tix?query=belmont&minAsk=min&maxAsk=max

It\'s likely you\'ll be able to negotiate a price.

And there\'s always Ebay.
