HOW CAN I PURCHASE TAILGATING SPACES?
Tailgate space owners from the prior year have the privilege of renewing their space during Phase I of tailgating sales and the exclusive opportunity to purchase additional spaces or change locations during Phase II. Any spaces not purchased during the first two phases will go on sale to the general public beginning in Phase III. All tailgating spaces are sold online via this Web site.
WHAT ARE THE PHASES AND THE CORRESPONDING DATES?

WHAT IF I WANT TO CHANGE TAILGATE LOCATIONS FROM LAST YEAR?
We recommend that you renew your 2009 tailgating space during Phase I, so that you are guaranteed a tailgating space. After everyone has had the opportunity to renew their space from the previous year, you will then be allowed to swap to any remaining open spaces during Phase II. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU FULLY COMPLETE THE SHOPPING PROCESS TO GUARANTEE THAT YOUR SPACE HAS BEEN CHANGED. Once your transaction is complete, you will receive an e-mail confirmation.
IF I DON'T RENEW DURING PHASE I, AM I EXCLUDED FROM PHASE II?
No, but you do risk losing your 2009 space. In Phase II, any spaces that are not renewed during Phase I will go on sale to all previous year tailgaters. Guaranteed renewal only occurs during Phase I.
CAN I CHANGE OR UPGRADE TAILGATING LOCATIONS IN PHASE III?
No, after Phase II all location assignments are permanent. All sales are final during each phase.
WHICH AREAS CAN I ACCESS WITH MY TAILGATING ARMBAND?
Tailgaters with Stirrup Club armbands can access any tailgating areas. However, guests with an armband for an "inside the track" tailgating area (Centerfield, Stretch, Midfield, Turn, Topside, The Meadows and RV) may only access the other inside the track tailgating areas and will not have access to the Stirrup Club. For example, guests with a Midfield armband can get into the Centerfield, Stretch, Topside, Turn, The Meadows and RV areas, but they can not enter the Stirrup Club. Tailgating guests from any area can not access the boxes, corporate tents, or general admission areas.
HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY TAILGATING TICKETS AND INFORMATION?
We will mail your tailgating packet to you the last week of April. Tickets purchased during the final sales phase (on or after April 27) must be picked up at the WILL-CALL location.
WHERE IS WILL-CALL and WHEN IS IT OPEN?
Any tickets and armbands sold on or after April 27, 2010 must be picked up at the WILL-CALL station. WILL-CALL is available on (location and times subject to change):
Friday, May 7, 2010
9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Saturday, May 8, 2010
8:30 a.m - 12:00 p.m.
Location: Will Call tent will be located on the Steeplechase Grounds at Hwy. 100 near the intersection with Old Hickory Blvd.
CAN I PURCHASE TAILGATING TICKETS ON RACE DAY?
NO! No tailgating space or armbands will be sold on race day.
HOW CAN MY FRIENDS BUY ADDITIONAL ARMBANDS FOR MY SPACE?
The online reservation system is designed for you to give your GUEST username and password to your friends. By using this guest username and password, your friends can access your space to purchase additional armbands with their own credit cards. These armbands will be mailed to the address your guest specifies online during the reservation process.
As a space owner, you can use your permanent username and password to access a screen listing the names of those guests who have purchased armbands associated with your space. You are responsible for limiting the number of armbands each of your guests purchase. The online reservation system will cap the total number of armbands that can be purchased based on the limits associated with each tailgating area.
CAN I BUY INDIVIDUAL TAILGATING ARMBANDS?
No, all armband purchases must be affiliated with a specific tailgating space. In order to purchase tailgating armbands, you either must own a tailgating space or have permission from a space owner to use their guest username and password to purchase armbands from their space.

HOW MANY GUEST PARKING PASSES DO I GET WITH MY TAILGATING SPACE?
Each space owner will receive one guest parking tag. It is the responsibility of the space owner to ensure that all of their guests are accommodated and aware of the traffic and parking plan.
WHAT IF I DO NOT HAVE A CREDIT CARD?
If you do not have a credit card, you can mail in a check. If making payment by check, you must still adhere to the phase deadlines. Send payment to:
