“The Kentucky Derby experience is synonymous with fun and excitement and we’re thrilled to welcome fans back to our Infield,” said Churchill Downs Racetrack President Mike Anderson. “We remain committed to relying on the most recent scientific evidence we have surrounding COVID-19, and with Kentucky Derby Week three weeks away, we are encouraged by the favorable trajectory. In addition to a low positivity rate, Kentucky’s vaccination efforts have reached approximately 40% of adult Kentuckians with every indication that those numbers will continue to rapidly increase over the coming weeks leading into this year’s Derby.”

An official program is included with all tickets.

Fans who purchased Infield-only General Admission tickets must enter Churchill Downs through the Infield Admission Gate at Central Avenue and Fourth Street. 

General Admission guests will have access to food and beverage options for purchase at Infield concession stands. Guests will also have designated restrooms and wagering windows.

More ticket inventory to Oaks and Derby is also available, such as uncovered reserved bleacher seating in the First Turn, uncovered reserved box seating for six in the Infield, and First and Second Floor Grandstand reserved seats. All reserved seats include all-inclusive food, non-alcoholic beverages, and alcoholic beverages.  

Reserved seats are limited to roughly 40-50% of seated capacity, and General Admission ticket sales will be limited to approximately 20-30% of Infield capacity.   

If you've purchased tickets but are unable to attend the Derby, Oaks, or other events, you can use the Kentucky Derby Ticket Exchange, the official fan-to-fan resale marketplace and only authorized resale platform, to resell tickets. 

Churchill Downs said information on the availability of additional tickets to the Derby and Oaks will be made via email and social media.
