The Belmont Stakes is being held at Saratoga Race Course for the second consecutive year while Belmont Park undergoes $455 million in renovations. The change in venue has taken the second leg of horse racing's triple crown and moved it more than three hours north to the home of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.
This Saturday it's time to feel part of history in a place of legends, horses and tradition. All you need is a ticket to get in. Here are the most and least affordable options.
Belmont Stakes Ticket Prices
General admission tickets for the 2025 Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course originally went on sale back in February and started at $75. If you're in town for the races, you can get a bundle that gives you admission for the entire five days for $120. Admission for children ages 4-12 starts at $20.
Of course, by now everything is on the secondary market, including the GA tickets that will earn you the right to line up very early in the morning and wait for the gates to open so you can run to the picnic tables and try to grab one of the hottest seats of the entire summer in Saratoga.
