I guess they won't be advertising the hardest sport ticket to get anymore. You expect tickets sales to be down at some tracks but who would ever thought this would happen at Bristol.

Once an event doesn't sell out you lose all those sales to the ripoff ticket brokers trying to make a buck on those tickets. If the event doesn't sellout they have no interest in the tickets and I bet a ton of Bristol's sales were to the brokers. Then there is also the human nature factor. When somebody tells you you can't go to something, which before was because you couldn't get a ticket, you wanted to go. Now that you can just call the track and get a ticket, you think there must be a reason everbody else doesn't want to go and you don't want to go either.
