Belmont Stakes Tickets

From the roar as the field turns for home to the tradition-filled moments that build toward post time, the Belmont Stakes delivers a live racing atmosphere that feels bigger than a single race. Whether you’ve followed the Triple Crown for years or you’re planning your first one, Belmont Stakes tickets put you inside one of Thoroughbred racing’s most electric race day settings.

This page covers everything you need — from understanding how Belmont Stakes works to finding the right tickets and knowing what to expect when you arrive.

About Belmont Stakes

The Belmont Stakes is a Grade 1 Thoroughbred horse race run annually in early-to-mid June, traditionally about three weeks after the Preakness Stakes. Held at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York (with recent editions contested at Saratoga Race Course during Belmont Park’s grandstand reconstruction), it stands as the third and final leg of the American Triple Crown — and has been a defining date on the sport’s calendar since it was first held in 1867.

Known as the “Test of the Champion,” the Belmont Stakes is famous for its demanding 1½-mile (12-furlong) distance at Belmont Park — the longest of the three Triple Crown races. It’s a single flat race on dirt restricted to three-year-old Thoroughbreds, with set weights (colts and geldings at 126 pounds; fillies at 121 pounds). The field is typically a small, select group, often roughly 8 to 14 horses, and the featured race caps a full afternoon of stakes and undercard action for a complete race day program.

With a purse historically around $1.5 million and a win that can redefine a horse’s legacy and stud value, the stakes are enormous. The winner also earns the Belmont Stakes trophy (the historic silver “August Belmont Trophy”) and the blanket of white carnations that gives the race its nickname: “The Run for the Carnations.” When a horse arrives having won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, the Belmont becomes the final barrier to Triple Crown immortality — and the national spotlight follows.

Belmont’s history is packed with iconic champions and moments, from Secretariat’s 1973 world-record 2:24 victory by 31 lengths to Affirmed’s 1978 Triple Crown duel with Alydar, and the modern triumphs of American Pharoah (2015) and Justify (2018). Run on Belmont Park’s massive “Big Sandy” oval, the experience blends high-level competition with deep tradition, including a signature pre-race singalong. If you’re planning to attend Belmont Stakes, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.

How Much Do Belmont Stakes Tickets Cost?

Belmont Stakes tickets typically range from around $25 to $75 for general admission/grandstand to several hundred dollars or more for reserved seats and clubhouse boxes, with premium packages running higher.

A few factors can move prices quickly: whether a Triple Crown is on the line (a major driver of demand), seat location relative to the finish line, hospitality and dining inclusions, and how close you are to race day. If you’re looking for value, general admission and grandstand apron areas are often the most affordable ways to get into the track and soak in the full-day card.

No hidden fees. At Box Office Ticket Sales, the price you see is the price you pay. All fees are shown before checkout — no surprise charges when you reach the final step.

Getting Ready for Belmont Stakes Race Day

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation goes a long way — especially for an all-afternoon card where you’ll likely spend time moving between viewing areas, concessions, and the paddock.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cellular service near large events can get congested on race days. Save them to your phone's wallet or screenshot them as a backup.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is the standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for entry and security, especially on high-demand dates.
• Public Transit: The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) runs special Belmont Stakes race-day trains to the Belmont Park station adjacent to the track.
• Rideshare: Designated rideshare pickup/drop-off zones are set up for major race days.
• Bag Policy: Expect restrictions on bag sizes with security screening at entry; small bags and clear bags are the safest choice, with coolers and outside alcohol typically prohibited for the Belmont Stakes event day.
• Payment/Cashless: Bring a card or mobile payment — many vendors are cashless.
• What to bring: Sun protection, comfortable shoes for walking the grounds, and weather-appropriate clothing; many attendees dress up in traditional race-day attire.
