Hamilton Park sells one general admission ticket with access to all outdoor areas and several public bars; it does not divide the public course into separate priced enclosures. Trackside Terrace is an optional, fixture-specific reserved seating product, and hospitality packages have their own VIP admission and Duke’s entrance.
