Questions about Indy 500 tickets

Jonr · 12/4/10, 11:53 PM

I know that every year around this time or a little later, some one will ask where are the best seats at the Indy 500. This year, I will be the first one to ask.

Thanks

if you can afford them anywhere in A, B, or E penthouse are amazing! if you apply for the tix now in about 45 years you too could be the proud owner of these tickets!

There is an interactive map in the indianapolis motor speedway ticket section that can give you a view from each stand and where video boards are in relation. Stands on the outsides of the corners offer some of the better views. Getting a location where you can see a video board is pretty much a must since its impossible to see all the way around.

Get tickets close to where you intend on parking, or park close to where you plan on sitting. I sit in the Northwest Vista, and park in the Coke lot. Parking is free and just a short walk to get to my seats. I would recommend sitting in one of the turns, and avoid the short shoots.

That is true, according to Indy web site all these tickets are sold out($150.00 price range).

I've had Sec. 10, Row PP in the Paddock since 1968. Excellent view of the pits and pre-race. And it is under the cover. I cannot tolerate sitting in the sun.
