Tickets from today's on-line sale sold out in less than an hour.

Not that impressive when you consider there were only around 3,000 of them. A Bruce Springsteen show at the Verizon Center sold out in 12 minutes a couple years ago, and that is 20,000-ish seats.

Quote from Churchill Downs track president:

"There was extraordinary demand with more than 50,000 online requests within the first five minutes," Flanery said. "We're thrilled for those who were fortunate to purchase reserved seats and sympathize with those who didn't have the luck of the draw this time around."

I hated sections 126-128 compared to the seats on the other side of the fence.

I left a message at premium tickets 1-8. Told them I wanted to get my same seats. A lady called yesterday and took my payment info. It will probably help if you have a past invoice number of patron #. They didn't charge a PSL as they had the past 2 years.

Yeah, I think CD completely misread the demand for Derby tickets. I'd suspect that any of us who've had PSL's in the past will receive offers in the mail sometime in February-March for seats.

I hope you are right because I have talked to several people at the ticket office frequently and they still are telling me they are not sure if my seats are available.
