Saratoga Season Perks program offers season- and year-long value, extensive savings at local shops, restaurants and entertainment attractions
All season pass holders who purchase and activate their season pass will be eligible for participation in the newly expanded Saratoga Season Perks program, which offers season- and year-long discounts at dozens of Saratoga merchants and restaurants, as well as at select Saratoga Performing Arts Center classical performances and other regional entertainment destinations.
“The Saratoga Season Perks program makes a Saratoga Race Course season pass more valuable than ever. Not only does a season pass provide admission for all 40 days of the season, including Travers, but it also offers tremendous savings while dining, shopping and enjoying all that Saratoga Springs and the Capital Region have to offer,” said New York Racing Association Senior Vice President and Chief Experience Officer Lynn LaRocca. “Our season ticket and season pass holder guests will receive 10 percent savings at select on-track locations and also year-round at their favorite restaurants, shops and leisure pursuits.”
Newly announced additions to the growing list of Saratoga Season Perks participants include Peabody’s Sports Bar & Grill and Fish at 30 Lake, the newest addition from Mazzone Hospitality. For a complete list of participating Saratoga Season Perks partners, including on-track discounts, visit SaratogaSeasonPerks.com.
Participating retailers, restaurants and entertainment venues will have on display a decal featuring the Saratoga Season Perks logo, which will identify their participation in the program.
Season pass holders will also for the first time be guaranteed a Saratoga premium giveaway item. The pass holder must be in attendance on the day of the giveaway at Saratoga Race Course and redeem the item by 3 p.m. Redemptions will begin when gates open to the general public.
Season ticket plan holders will receive the same benefits as season pass holders when they present their season perks card. Full-season ticket plans for the 2016 meet are currently on sale and may be purchased online at NYRA.com/Saratogatickets (based on availability).
