The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) reminds fans that season admission passes for the 2018 meet at Saratoga Race Course are on-sale at Saratoga Race Course and at participating Stewart's Shops.

Season passes are available for purchase in-person at the NYRA Box Office at Saratoga Race Course and at more than 150 Stewart's Shops locations throughout the greater Capital Region. Season passes may also be purchased online at NYRA.com.

A season pass provides fans with daily admission to Saratoga Race Course, including Travers Day, Saturday, August 25 and Whitney Day, Saturday, August 4. The cost for a 2018 Grandstand season pass is $40; a Clubhouse season pass is $65. Season passes do not include reserved seating and are valid for one admission.

Fans may also upgrade their daily admission for a season pass while at the track by visiting the NYRA Box Office located near Gate A. Season pass upgrades are available for a limited time only, while supplies last.

Saratoga season pass holders receive the following benefits as part of the Saratoga Season Perks program:

• 10 percent savings on local shopping, dining, tickets to Live Nation concerts at SPAC and sporting events when they present their season pass or season perks card at any participating member.
