151st Kentucky Derby Sign Up Information

During our annual pre-sale in the Fall, grandstand boxes, bleacher seating, and select dining will be offered. The registration deadline for the Kentucky Derby & Kentucky Oaks 2-Day package pre-sale is open until the fall each year and is then closed just before the actual pre-sale. The 2025 Kentucky Derby & Kentucky Oaks 2-Day package pre-sale is available for sign up now!
If you sign up, you will receive an email in the fall outlining seating options paired with an intent to purchase form confirming your desire to be included in our random drawing to participate in the presale. Applicants will be notified in late September or early October via email when the selection process is complete. At that time, anyone not selected for a pre-sale opportunity will be invited to participate in the public on-sale in late October.
