You're telling me CDI is going to knowingly accept this $50 fee for tickets they know at the time the application is submitted won't be available?

I think collecting an extra $200k in admin fees is on the really low end if ticket requests are as brisk as previous Derby editions.
I would speak with a live rep by phone to apply and get on the list immediately otherwise I wouldn't bother if they couldn't assure me I'd get tickets. If demand is enough to sell out there will come a time that a rep may not be able to guarantee anything. I would think that when they sell the final ticket the applications will end.

I was wrong, 250k would be the bare minimum ;4 tix per person x 5,000 ppl x $50. On the high end 10k ppl x 2 tix x $50=$500k, and none of that includes the fees from the people that wait and hope.

The whole idea is borderline extortion.
