The Preakness Stakes has been held at the historic Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, since 1870. With a capacity of nearly 110,000, fans of thoroughbred horse racing pack it out yearly for the second leg, or “Middle Jewel” of horse racing’s triple crown, which follows the Kentucky Derby and precedes the Belmont Stakes.

Below you will find a detailed Preakness Stakes seating chart that includes a breakdown of the sections, the best seats, infield general admission details, the dress code, and everything in between. Plus, you can purchase Preakness Stakes tickets from TickPick, the original no-fee ticket marketplace.

Infield Seating at Preakness Stakes | Pimlico Race Course

The Infield General Admission, or “Infieldfest” tickets at the Preakness Stakes are where the party’s at. The crowd is mainly college students and fans in their early-to-mid 20s, coolers are permitted, and tens of thousands of people pack into one of the best day-drinking events of the year. What’s even better is that these Infieldfest tickets provide you with all-day entertainment in the form of a music festival that takes place right in the infield, which will be headlined this year by DJs like Kygo and Diplo, and hip-hop star and Maryland native Logic.

Their famous Black-Eyed Susan Cocktail (named after Maryland’s state flower) isn’t exactly cheap, so many opt to pack coolers full of beer to go along with their $89-139 ticket. If you’re looking for other ways to get the best value, MUG Club tickets grant you general admission access to all InfieldFest party areas, and tickets include a souvenir mug that allows for a bottomless pour on ALL BEER at MUG Club filling stations. You can’t see the race from the infield, and by the end of the day, most of the grass has turned to mud, so if you’re worried about your nice outfit getting muddy, this is not the place for you.

Clubhouse Seating at Preakness Stakes | Pimlico Race Course

Clubhouse seating is divided into Clubhouse Box, Clubhouse Turn Reserved, and Clubhouse Turn Suite seating. The Clubhouse Box goes 40 rows deep and is positioned just after the finish line, offering an exciting perspective for the race’s photo finish. All Clubhouse seating grants fans access to InfieldFest and nearby food & beverage concessions.

The Clubhouse seating at the Preakness Stakes contains sections 111-119, 312-321, and Mezzanine sections 212, 218, and 220. The Clubhouse seating is positioned much closer to the Finish Line, Winner Circle, and the First Turn. Unlike the Grandstand, the Clubhouse has full boxes, each typically containing 6 seats. There are eight-seat boxes on the 3rd floor of the Finish Line area, which are some of the most expensive seats at the Derby.

The 3rd Floor boxes offer the best views and amenities (more bathrooms and better food and beverage options), but the 1st floor is more festive and lively because it is closer to the track. What is unique about the Clubhouse seating at the Preakness Stakes is that you can always move down from your level or floor. For example, if you have a ticket to the 3rd floor, you also have access to the 2nd and 1st floors, including the Grandstand sections.

Concourse Seating at the Preakness Stakes | Pimlico Race Course

Concourse seating is located along the homestretch between the starting gate and the 1/16th pole. The Concourse Box and Concourse Apron Box (29-102) are each outdoors on the first level of the venue, while the Concourse Reserved section is located on Level 2 and is covered for those looking to protect themselves from the elements if the weather isn’t agreeable.

Grandstand Seating at Preakness Stakes | Pimlico Race Course

The Grandstand Seating at the Preakness Stakes contains sections Grandstand Upper Reserved, Grandstand Apron Box (Boxes 1-90 are available), Grandstand Upper Box, and Grandstand Lower Box. All Grandstand seating includes access to InfieldFest, as well as nearby wagering and concessions.

Aside from the Infield, these are the cheapest seats at the Preakness Stakes. Cheap, of course, is a relative term when discussing Preakness Stakes tickets, so face value prices range from $135-385 dollars, depending on how close the section is to the Finish Line. Unlike other seating areas, you cannot move to other sections of the Pimlico Race Course with Grandstand tickets.

The Grandstand Upper Reserved and Grandstand Upper Box sections are indoors, so if you’re looking to escape the rain or sun, this is a good value.

The Grandstand Lower Box offers fans the most captivating views, the closest to the finish line of all Grandstand seating.

Premium Seating at Preakness Stakes | Pimlico Race Course

The Clubhouse Turn Reserved seating is located on the venue’s first level, is outdoors, and is covered, so you’re protected from the elements while still close to the action in the open air. The Hall of Fame Dining Room tickets offer fans an elegant buffet and first-class seating in the dining room of an indoor clubhouse.

The Sports Palace Dining Room is a climate-controlled area on the concourse level with over 50 HD TV screens, an all-inclusive luncheon, an open beer & wine bar, and nearby wagering windows. It offers a great, elevated view of the finish line. The Terrace Dining Room includes four-star dining while overlooking the track on its second level, and the Sports Palace Reserved seating area in front of the Terrace Dining Room gives fans the best elevated view from just above the finish line.

The Turfside Terrace is an indoor seating area just off the Race Course’s turf track in the Preakness Village area. Seats from right up on the action are available for purchase as a table of 10 OR individual tickets, while supplies last. These premium seats include an all-inclusive gourmet luncheon, access to an open beer & wine bar, access to the Maker’s Mark Lounge, and yard games.

The Turf Club Tents offer the option to purchase a table of 10 or individual tickets, and include an all-inclusive gourmet luncheon, an all-inclusive premium open bar, access to specialty bars, and a jazz quartet. Every purchase of 2 tickets also includes convenient Clubhouse parking. This is the most lavish way to enjoy a high-end outdoor experience at the Preakness Stakes.
The seating in these areas is 8 per table, which includes waiter/waitress service and access to a full bar. To view the races, these areas have access to a balcony overlooking the track. Millionaires Row boasts a more modern feel, with more TVs, is set up like a large dining hall, and offers a more direct view of the finish line. The Sky Terrace is more of a long, narrow room with two rows of tables, situated beyond the finish line at the cusp of the first turn.
