Siena, Saratoga Race Course Partnering For Special Offer

Two of the Capital Region’s premier sporting events are teaming up for a special offer. Fans who purchase 2016 Saratoga Race Course Season Passes will be enrolled into the Saratoga Season Perks program, which includes a 10% discount off new Siena men’s and/or women’s basketball season tickets and 2016-17 individual game tickets.

2016 Saratoga season passes are priced at $35 for grandstand admission and $55 for the clubhouse. Season passes include admission to all 40 days of world-class thoroughbred racing at Saratoga Race Course, a guarantee of one premium Saratoga giveaway on each giveaway day (must be present and redeemed by 3 p.m.), and enrollment in the Saratoga Season Perks program which features numerous on-track discounts and savings at dozens of Saratoga merchants and restaurants, as well as other regional entertainment destinations.

Saratoga season passes can be purchased online at NYRA.com/Saratogatickets or at more than 200 Stewart’s Shop locations throughout the greater Capital Region, Adirondacks and the Hudson Valley. Saratoga season pass and season ticket plan holders will receive a 10% savings with their activated season pass or perks card from now through March 1, 2017 to select New York Racing Association partners. For more information on the Saratoga Season Perks program, log onto www.saratogaseasonperks.com. Saratoga season passes do not include reserved seating and are valid for one admission. Season passes are not transferable and will not admit anyone other than the named and identified holder on the card.

Season tickets for Siena’s 2016-17 men’s and women’s basketball home schedules are on-sale now, with individual game tickets scheduled to be released later this summer. Tickets can be purchased by visiting the Siena Fan Relations Office located at the Times Union Center Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., by calling (518) 487-2202, online at sienasaints.com/tickets, or by e-mail at sienatickets2@siena.edu.

Expectations are high entering the 2016-17 season for both basketball teams which are each expected to return more than 88% of their respective scoring from last year. The men are poised to return their top-five scorers from a squad which achieved a 10-win improvement this past year which was tied for the 12th best nationally as the Saints won 21 games and were rewarded with a national postseason tournament berth to the College Basketball Invitational. The young and talented women’s squad is set to return four starters and 10 letterwinners from a team which won 14 games last season and posted a 10-10 mark in the MAAC.
