Tailgate & Ticket Options


 
Come join us the last Saturday in April and Experience the Thrill of the 'Chase!®
There are a number of tailgating options availed to individuals or small groups who want to entertain their friends and family in a reserved tailgating space at "The Party & Social Event of the Year!" The Fourteenth Annual Queen's Cup Steeplechase, held Saturday, April 25, 2009, will be the springtime place to be. There are several options when it comes to picking a tailgate package that's right for you. Have a look at the map below, along with the descriptions and pricing, to see which spot meets your needs. Feel free to call us with your questions during regular business hours at (704) 843-7070.

Last year, tailgating spaces sold out several weeks before the event, so don't delay to avoid disappointment. Individual tickets (or badges) are also available if you plan to meet your friends at their tailgate space.


Limited Bus Parking Available. Please contact the Queen's Cup Office (704) 843-7070 at least ten (10) days prior to the race for permit prices and other details.
