Churchill Downs Derby Week Tickets

My brother bought the tickets and shared my seats with me. Very easy especially since I had the app.

We attended on the $5 general admission tickets. The Stands were only full adjacent to the finish post so a short walk past there found lots of unbooked boxes.A perfect view of the last turn , the straight to the finish and then all the way to the next turn with a Video monitor close enough to give a replay showing the finish after each race. We even had a few different Mint Juleps .

The $40 parking took me by surprise and the temporary gates made for a long walk in sandals to get in the Downs. However, once we were in, we had a great time and won a few bets!!

I had a great time. I love that 502 day is specifically for local everything at the downs. So glad this day was created. Millionaires row is where I was the entire day and it was spatacular!

Didn't get into the stadium until after 930am on oaks day because the entrances didn't have tags for the bags or workers. Then when in the general admission the speakers didn't start working until race 8. We were a little let down

I have a few comments being new to the area. I wasn't aware I needed to purchase parking tickets by April 15th. I had to change my idea of what I was wearing when I discovered I'll be walking a lot more than I thought. The seats were another thing I forgot about. The seats automatically flip and fold back up and I sat down without looking behind me, I scraped my leg and behind. Minor sore but I wish it stayed down. Aside from these, I liked it. There's a ticket to buy for everything. Keep in mind to buy tickets if you want to view areas. The place is large and fun to walk around. You can only see the whole track from certain seats so you'll probably want to walk around. The horses are gorgeous. There's lots of helpful people to guide you and answer your questions. Overall I had fun!

Churchill Downs looked great with all.the upgrades., but the beer was a problem. $13.00 for a beer and only light beer, what was.the folks in charge thinking?

The shuttle is the way to go! Our seats were perfect and great access to food and betting. Everything was bright, colorful, and clean!

Parking, Bus to Derby, Drinks, Food & Atmosphere A+++ They hired staff that claim to be customer service, but talk down, smug and just generally unhappy to be there. Why do these people want to work this if they hate people so much..... Oh and this was the 1st day.....

Churchill Downs made the day a breeze, and breezy it was! The fascinators were flying as were the horses. Free luxury bus shuttles from the Expo Center dropped us conveniently in the parking lot not far from the entrance. We sipped a mint julep and enjoyed the class and grace of the racecourse. We got the lay of the land by taking the museum tour upon arrival; it was worth the price of the admission and broadened our horizons. It was a great day at the races!
