The Breeders’ Cup has released detailed ticketing information for the 2015
Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Keeneland on October 30-31. Bringing the
world-class racing event to one of the most prestigious tracks in the country,
Breeders’ Cup’s 2015 event will mark the first time that the World Championships
will be held at Keeneland, the iconic track located in the heart of the
Bluegrass region in Lexington, Kentucky.
To meet the strong demand from fans who want to be a part of this historic
event, tickets will go on sale to the general public on, March 4, which is an
unprecedented three months earlier than the normal release date for tickets.
Ticket offerings will include a wide range of seating options located across the
Keeneland campus.
Beginning March 4 at noon (EST), fans will be able to purchase tickets online
at BreedersCup.com or by calling the ticketing office at 877-TIX-4CUP. The
general public will have access to purchase approximately 50 percent of the
available tickets for this year’s event. Detailed information on all available
seating options can be viewed now on BreedersCup.com.
Breeders’ Cup and Keeneland are investing $5 million to create more premium
seating options that will enhance the on-site experience for fans and
participants. The new hospitality offerings are highlighted by ’84 Club, a
50,000 square foot, glassed-in and climate-controlled lounge that offers
incredible views of the Championships along with lounge seating, private
concessions, a cash bar, restrooms and mutuel tellers. More information on
available seating options can be found at BreedersCup.com.
“While this is the first time that Keeneland has hosted the Breeders’ Cup
World Championships, many of our Thoroughbred champions have raced at Keeneland
or passed through its renowned sales pavilion so it feels like a homecoming for
us,” said Craig Fravel, Breeders’ Cup President and CEO. “Combining our enhanced
programming for this year’s World Championships with the rich history and
classic elegance of Keeneland and the Bluegrass region presents an incredible
opportunity for us to showcase the best our sport has to offer.”
Over the past 70 years, Keeneland has established itself as one of the most
storied and illustrious thoroughbred sales and racing venues. Its partnership
with the Breeders’ Cup for this annual international event is both a milestone
for the brand and a historic moment for fans.
“Being able to host the 2015 Breeders’ Cup World Championships is an
incredible honor,” said Bill Thomason, President and CEO of Keeneland. “The
Breeders’ Cup has established itself as one of the most competitive and
impressive racing events in the world. Keeneland and the Breeders’ Cup share a
goal to provide our guests with extraordinary customer service, which, coupled
with Keeneland’s iconic setting and rich racing tradition will make for a truly
unique patron experience.”
Single-day ticket prices range from $35 to $375 on Friday, and $50 to $475 on
Saturday. Two-day packages ranges from $295- $1,225. All tickets will be sold in
advance of the event — there will be no walk up sales available for either day
of the Breeders’ Cup.
In order to provide the best possible transportation experience at Keeneland,
the Breeders’ Cup will offer shuttle service for a nominal fee to the track from
two local park-n-ride destinations — the Kentucky Horse Park and Whitaker Bank
Ballpark. Parking on-site at Keeneland will be limited and only available to
those with official parking credentials. More information on transportation to
and from Keeneland for the 2015 Breeders’ Cup World Championships will be
announced at a later date.
