Belmont Tickets on Sale Feb. 12

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The New York Racing Association (NYRA) announced on Tuesday that tickets and hospitality offerings for the final Belmont Stakes Racing Festival at the Saratoga Race Course will go on sale to the general public on Thursday, Feb. 12 at 10 a.m. at BelmontStakes.com/tickets.

This year will mark the third and final edition of Belmont at Saratoga. Beginning in 2027, the Belmont Stakes will return to its permanent home on Long Island at the newly-constructed Belmont Park.

Highlighted by the 158th running of the Grade 1, $2 million Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 6, the five-day Belmont Stakes Racing Festival will be held from Wednesday, June 3, through Sunday, June 7.

Beginning Wednesday, Jan. 21, and continuing through Tuesday, Jan. 27, fans may enter a presale drawing at NYRA.com/belmont-stakes/presale/ for the chance to purchase reserved seating and hospitality packages in advance of the general public on-sale.

Fans selected at random will be notified beginning Thursday, Jan. 29, and in the ensuing days, with the opportunity to purchase Belmont Stakes Festival tickets based on available inventory. Entering the pre-sale drawing does not guarantee the ability to purchase tickets, nor does it prevent fans from participating in the public on-sale offering on Feb. 12.

Belmont Stakes Day General Admission tickets will be available for the same price as last year: $75 for adults and $20 for children ages 4 to 12. Admission is $30 for adults on Friday, June 5, and $10 on each of the other festival days. Admission is free for children 12 and under on each day other than Saturday, June 6. In addition, fans may purchase a five-day Belmont Stakes Racing Festival admission bundle for $120.

Fan-related protocols will reflect a continuation of policies that were introduced for the 2025 Belmont Stakes Racing Festival.

The opening and closing days of the Festival, Wednesday, June 3, and Sunday, June 7, will feature policies that align with the traditional Saratoga summer meet, including the opportunity for fans to bring alcohol into the backyard in small personal coolers.

Outside alcohol may not be brought into the venue from Thursday, June 4, through Saturday, June 6; however, fans may carry food and non-alcoholic beverages into Saratoga Race Course during these days provided the items are stored in personal coolers.

With the new Belmont Park to re-open in September for live racing, 2026 will mark the final year of adjustments to the customary racing schedule at Saratoga. In 2027, Belmont Park will once again host the Belmont Stakes and July 4th Racing Festivals, while Saratoga will revert to its traditional 40-day summer meet.
