The 2024 Kentucky Derby is near, and there is still a chance to see who will win the first leg of the Triple Crown in person.
Tickets for this year's running are sold out, but there are tickets available on the secondary market. The Kentucky Derby is an unique sporting event since more than 160,000 people are expected, so there are several ways to experience the day, from inside of the track to being able to watch the horses cross the finish line. It doesn't have to be an expensive day at Churchill Downs, but it could be quite pricey depending on what you want the experience to be.
Here's what to know about ticket prices for the 150th Kentucky Derby.
How expensive is it to go to the 2024 Kentucky Derby?
Before tickets sold out, ticket prices ranged in starting prices from $275 general admission and standing room – which don't offer a track view – to $135,000 for a private suite. Reserved seating started at $650, new paddock seating started at $693 and dining experiences had starting prices of $1,375.
