Derby Travel

First Floor Grandstand

The grandstand seating is all reserved bench type, bleacher seats. These are the starting point for Derby / Oaks ticket prices and would most likely be considered for the budget-minded. The difference in price reflects the closeness to the finish line. Section 119 offers a much better view of the finish line verses section 128 and the price is reflected.

Good News: The best part about the first floor grandstand is the price. These are the cheapest of the Derby / Oaks tickets. Also it brings you very close to the track and the rail. You really feel the horses as they run by you. Also keep this in mind that the starting gate for the Derby is right at Section 128. Being right in front of the gate for Derby is incredibly exciting.
