Belmont Tickets
 

Got Belmont tickets yesterday. All that was available was the Mosh Pit of Grandstand GA. Was disappointed I can't bring my drone this year. In fact, I don't think I can bring anything. Not even a pot to piss in when they close the bathrooms again.

I love Belmont, but not on that day. They should take notice from CD who seriously cleaned up their image for Customer Service this year.

I remember the Smarty Jones year and my wife has never gone to the track since. NYRA was bad in who they let into the track. I saw one kid with 2 30 packs of beer and two fifths of vodka in his pockets let in. I saw an 80 year old lady pee in a bush. I saw people being taken out in ambulances after being hit by full beer cans being just tossed into the crowd. It was awful and the Nassau County cops were awful. In fact, Nassau County is awful. Who turns the water off to an event like that ?

If it is so awful, then why would you get tickets? :zz:

Amazing you come on say you got tickets then bash the day, track and county. Db post of the month

Incredible, classic case of someone not realizing that they are the problem.

Couldn't agree more Nick. There has been some masterful troll posts on here lately.

There are horrible Trolls here and I never realized what one was until I came here.

NYRA has been awful in recent years when a TC is on the line. None of you were there, I can tell that. Imagine your mother or grandmother peeing on a bush because they closed the bathrooms. I saw the shame on that woman's face.

I don't have to worry about that this year because they won't get that crowd.

Clearly, you are the troll here or you are just plain stupid, based upon these and prior posts as remarkable as it may be, I am leaning towards the latter.

You took an opportunity to bash NYRA for the way they conduct the Belmont Stakes while at the same time telling us you are going anyway. You are just another NYRA basher who refuses to consider the facts.

Has Belmont Stakes day had its problems? Absolutely, but NYRA has taken a significant number of steps to improve the experience which you want to ignore. They spent millions upgrading the LIRR platform for this year and worked with the LIRR to significantly increase the number of trains. They have also capped the number of people who they let in to better manage the crowds.

The Granny peeing in the bush? She could not use one of the 50 or so porta potties they have in the back of the park? If you want to talk about the one real aspect where they deserve criticism it is the ushers allowing people without tickets to steal seats from people who purchased them, that is where they have to do something.

I also love the swipe you have taken at AP suggesting he won't win the Preakness which now just about locks it up for him.

However, the BS you have thrown out here is nonsense. If you don't like it, here is a wild suggestion doucebag, don't go.

This is a board where those who are informed won't let trolls like you throw out nonsense to those who are new to the game. Feel free to go to one of the number of boards where people like you can get away with your nonsense, it won't happen here.

I've gone up for Secreteriat, Affirmed and Seattle Slew and all the chances in between. I go to the races. Criticism is unwarranted here.

Good for you. Here is a wild suggestion, if you don't like the county, cops or how NYRA handles Belmont day then don't go. I guarantee you, you will not be missed.

when you go on ticketmaster, you either choose GA tickets or choose reserved seating tickets. Plenty of reserved tickets available. It even allows you to choose your specific seat.

I didn't say anything about American Pharoah.

Hope the venting worked well for you. And the name-calling. Maybe made your day, in a small way.

Really? Either you were suggesting AP won't win and there would be a smaller crowd without a triple crown on the line or you were arguing against yourself by suggesting that NYRA has taken a positive step by limiting the crowd. So which is it?

Makes no sense. Read the posts. No mention of AP. Only in your posts. The porta-potties had lines of like 100 when the bathrooms were closed. I've probably been one of the biggest supporters of NYRA over the years.

Plus, I'm not a douchebag. Never have been and never been called that by anyone who knows me. Only by people I don't know on the internet.

Have some respect for people.

That is what I am talking about.

Have some respect for an organization that you are unfairly bashing.

Won't get the crowd of old ladies or seniors. They had such a bad experience. I'm the oldest person I know who is going to go.

Just when I thought you could not say anything dumber. So now you say ladies and seniors won't go?

That is hilarious.

As I said, you are the one who should not go if you don't like it. I promise you there will be plenty of ladies (many of whom will be dressed to the nines) and seniors who will be there.

Keep the shovel digging here.

Plus not unfairly bashing. Last year was a glaring example. NYRA can handle big days but not the Belmont Stakes. They do a great job on 30-40 thousand people at Belmont and Saratoga, but it becomes a fiasco when they get 90,000.

CD is different. They get 70,000 on Oaks and 170,000 on Derby, then they get 3,000 every other day. They gear for those days.

Glad you are having a good time. Notice I never said anything negative about you, wouldn't do that.

Never said anything negative about AP, either.

Will see if NYRA makes things better this year. Last year was horrifying with the train station on verge of collapse. I could feel it shaking and bending. I felt lucky to get out with my life.

You called me a troll but you haven't said anything negative about me. Honestly, you are incredibly dense.

If you were lucky to get out with your life, why are you going back?

How bizarre
