Churchill Downs Opening Night Tickets

Churchill needs to bring back valet parking. The lots were 75% empty while they turned away guests. The food is marginal at best. Bring back the tall tables. Nobody wants to eat over a garbage can because there's nowhere to sit your food or drinks. Bring back the mixed Lilly. The premix Lilly tastes like garbage which is where you have to sit it while you eat your over priced chicken tenders. Have hosts there to wipe the dirt off your seat so your wife doesn't get dirt on her $200 dress. Churchill wants to go high society but they don't want to support it. Right now its just a half done look. It was a better experience before they blew their wad on first turn. They need to bring the large screen back to the paddock. All those expensive boxes won't be able to see anything with out it. If you are going to advertise a DJ he needs to play music until the races are over. We stood there 45 minutes and he played 3 songs. People left because they figured it was over. I've been going to Churchill for 35 years and by far this has been the worst experience.

Everything including the atmosphere, food, drinks, outfits, and races was amazing! Definitely an event we would go to again!

It was hard to know whether alcohol was included in the price for the sky terrace but it was not. That’s where the bad stops. Food was excellent and plentiful. Waitress was great and fast. Lots of betting windows and an atm in our suite. Great view and sliding doors to go watch the action outside. Great experience

Had a great time with my 16 year old son. It was his first experience at the Track's and he loved it. Ticketing was easy and event was amazing.

Our experience at Opening Night of the Derby was great. The seats were awesome. The food and drink was great. The price was right. There wasn't much more we could have asked for. We look forward to doing it again.

Brutal experience. Why sell reserved seats and then just let anybody crowd around those seats without any check. There was ZERO crowd control. I would have paid double to have some elbow room. Awful experience and left early.

Fun night of watching the horses run. Good thing the tickets are priced right because food and beverages are way too expensive!!!

Great way to experience the feel of Kentucky Derby without the massive crowd. Will definitely be going to opening night again.
