Saratoga Race Course Admission

For many years, Saratoga had a traditional two-tiered structure for admission to the track. Guests could pay one price to watch from the Grandstand and another to watch the races from the Clubhouse in years past but that's changing for the 2023 season. The NYRA has announced that for the first time, a single admission rate will provide fans with access to both the Clubhouse and Grandstand.
