Suffice to say the reserved seating plan needs to embrace new technology and be more customer service friendly<br /><br />Anon-If NYRA accepts credit cards at the Saratoga Box office-they better change the website which states :<br /><br />"Unsold seat tickets and "Sun Seat" tickets for the current day go on sale each raceday at 8 a.m. at the Reserved Seat Booth located at Gate A (Union Avenue). (Tickets are available at 7 a.m. on Travers Day, Saturday, Aug. 29.) Limit four per person. Cash only. Ticket price does not include admission."SaratogaSpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05181152277681879529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31782753.post-12582518984429135632009-07-22T20:44:28.304-04:002009-07-22T20:44:28.304-04:00Actually, credit cards can be used to purchase tic...Actually, credit cards can be used to purchase tickets at the box office (just make sure you're on the credit card line). You can also buy tickets for future dates in person. <br /><br />Of course, the whole process is a big headache but the reserved seats staff does the best it can with the system it's forced to use.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31782753.post-48613895598094887502009-07-22T15:03:05.320-04:002009-07-22T15:03:05.320-04:00What annoys me is that some folks get to renew the...What annoys me is that some folks get to renew their "season tickets" while the rest of us are relegated to the "lottery".<br /><br />Didn't know about the Holiday Inn.

Good grief! <br /><br />I tried to order in advance for the weekend that we're going, but nothing on the website said that advance ordering closed in June. The text on the site implies that ordering could continue up until the start of the meet.

But we got ours at roughly the same time last year as well so perhaps their ancient method includes mailing tickets based on proximity to the track? You being very close get your tickets last? That doesn't seem right.<br /><br />But I agree that NYRA ticket purchasing really, REALLY needs to move online. It's great that the BC finally made the plunge, perhaps others will follow.<br /><br />See you there!!danahttp://greenbutgame.orgnoreply@blogger.com
