You need to get your ticket based on your interest level! Preakness is horse races but people go to drink and party! If you’re not in the right place at the event … it’s just a horse race which sucks!
3 different directions basically into one lane on Hayward horrid idea for parking. Everything else was great. Except for being told no concessions available till 11am Preakness day. Went both days. Parking a disaster but other than that great time!
Had a wonderful time at Pimlico. Planning Derby next year.
Very good race and set up very well. Great seats The parking was set up so well when you leave.
Good seats and convenient to the betting windows and refreshments.
Like buying tickets to a crazy house or jail. I could go on and on. Poor planning, no mutel machines only a long hot line to bet, seats not as advertised. Infield event was terrible, despite having tickets to reserved grandstand and infield we were told to go around, etc. no parking for miles. Will never go back, city of Baltimore PD did a terrible job trying to direct traffic.
i PAID 0VER $ 500 for tickets. i could not sit in the seats because it was miserably hot. A/C did not work. We had to go outside and stand the entire day. It was the worst sports facility let alone horsetrack I have ever been to, I i
Great seats, great time, and pretty good food options. We had a great time.
the bands sucked, but the mug club and the beach volleyball chicks were awesome.
I was in the infield and had a great time - it was like a big party! However, watching the actual horse racing was almost impossible. There was also no area to view the horses before they went to the starting gate. The entire finish line area was taken up by the VIP tent so no way to view that from the infield. From a party/drinking/music perspective, the infield was great. But if you really want to watch the horses and the racing, I would not recommend the infield. I wish I'd known this ahead of time!
The event was enjoyable. I bet on the winning horse, so I really can't complain. But we decided next time we'll buy the cheap, open air seats. We paid a premium to be in the air-conditioned Grand Stand, and it was almost as hot (and more stuffy) than outside. We felt like we were in a train station, it was so packed. If you still choose the Grand stand upper reserve, aim for sections 3-5 (close to the finish line)
Couldn't have picked a better event to attend for a weekend. There's tons to do on the infield, and all you can drink at the mug club. Can't wait to go next year and bring more people!
Absolutely had a great time in the sunshine, the bands were fantastic!!!
They need atleast 4 more jumbo screens allowing the infield to see the races. There is not enough tvs or big screens in the infield for anyone to enjoy the racing.
WOW!!! This event was AMAZING! What an adrenaline rush. My wife is hooked on horse racing as a result of her first Preakness outing. We had an amazing time. One complaint: Those who purchased Mug Club tickets could not get beer after the 12th race. A lot of people were still there for the 13th race, but the Mug Club stands shut down-not good. Nevertheless, Preakness 2011 was a homerun for all in attendance. The atmosphere was high energy and everyone was having a wonderful time. My wife and I will definitely be there next year.
the folks in kentucky could take a lesson from maryland. the food was better, the lines shorter and at some points non-existent. You could even actually even see the race from the infield. and the entertainment was awesome. i have been alot of places and done alot of things and this will definitely be one of my best memories. this will be an annual event from now on!!!
Unbelievably good time! The event was extremely well managed, with great staff and excellent facilities. Mug Club is definitely the way to go - this was the first horse race I've been to and now I want to do it all over again!
I tip my hat to the planners of the 136 running of the Preakness. Almost 100% of the time when walking away from an event like this, you are disappointed by some aspect - but these guys have found the Holy Grail. The MUG Club. For $70/mug you are entitled to all the beer you can drink for 12 or so hours. The lines to get a beer were minimal and the lines to get rid of the beer (rest rooms) were even shorter. Well done!
I went to Preakness last year and the experience was very different this year. The event was SOO organized. Hats off to the brain behind the organization this year. Stream line for beer and organized lines made the event run so smooth.
The seats, amenities, and parking were excellent. There was, however, no sound system at that end of the track- feels a little isolated.
