If you're willing to do the infield with the great unwashed (there are some fairly open spaces, but you'll get dirty and drunk by osmosis even just getting there) then it's fairly easy to just buy tickets on-site and get in. Parking is a mess (either shuttle in on buses from nearby designated areas, or fend for yourself in the neighborhoods) but it's not hard to get yourself inside. More costly now that you can't bring in your own refreshments, though.
It's the pretty standard big-event sports thing, though. If you want the experience (and to see a lot of tits, which you definitely will at the Preakness) then there's no substitute for being there. If you want to watch the event closely, then you're far better off watching on television.
