Keeneland will open at full capacity for the upcoming Fall Meet, which will be held Oct. 8-30. Tickets will go on sale beginning at 9 a.m. ET Monday, Aug. 16. Prospective purchasers should visit tickets.keeneland.com in advance for information on available ticket options and the process to purchase. Keeneland's e-ticketing platform will enable fans to add tickets to their mobile wallets for scanning at the admission gates.
“Keeneland is thrilled to welcome greater numbers of fans back to the track for what promises to be a terrific Fall Meet,” Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin said. “We look forward to being together again as a community and watching great Thoroughbred racing in this beautiful surrounding. As we look ahead to Keeneland's 85th anniversary this fall, we know reconnecting with those people and places that are special to us will be even more meaningful.”
Ticket pricing and packages for general admission, reserved seating, and dining for the Fall Meet have been restructured. Advance-purchase general admission tickets are $7, with day-of general admission tickets (both online and through walk-up gate purchase) at $10. Free general admission is available for members of Keeneland Select, Keeneland's online wagering platform. Grandstand reserved seats and dining tickets will be sold online in advance at various prices. Fall Meet general admission season passes will be available for $40. In addition, tailgating will continue on The Hill with the option of customized tailgate packages.
General admission may be capped, so fans are encouraged to purchase in advance.
“We appreciate the loyalty of our horsemen, horseplayers and fans, and we are committed to delivering the most memorable race-day experience possible,” Arvin said. “While challenging, this past year provided us the opportunity to review every facet of our operations and experiences for our guests. From expanding our advance-purchase ticketing options to providing new concession and dining offerings and better leveraging technology, we are excited to roll out these enhancements while remaining one of the region's best values for world-class entertainment.”
The 17-day Fall Meet offers a record $6 million in stakes purses and an expanded stakes schedule of 22 races. Keeneland's signature Fall Stars Weekend will take place on opening weekend and the meet features 10 Breeders' Cup “Win and You're In” races.
