The biggest change for eating and drinking at this year's Kentucky Derby is that for most fans, it's all-inclusive.
No individual transactions for food, drinks and snacks. No waiting in long lines to grab a mint julep. No fumbling with cash to pay hawkers and mobile kiosk vendors.
This year, all food, alcoholic drinks and non-alcoholic drinks are included with your reserved seating ticket at Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Oaks on April 30 and the Kentucky Derby on May 1. For Thurby
on April 29, the reserved seating includes food and non-alcoholic drinks.
For those who do not have reserved seats — some 15,000 possible infield attendees — tickets are not all-inclusive.
