Really guys? This greediness and highway robbery of charging for infield parking has worked well so far. The VIP $75 Turn 3 parking for the Indy 500 has already sold out.

Just my opinion, but at what other sporting events can you park right next to the stadium (or inside of it in the case of IMS) without paying less than $50? Can't do that at a Colts game for sure.

Furthermore, the price of tickets for the Indy 500 are a bargain when comparing them to ticket prices at other tracks. I pay $85 for my seat in turn three where I can see more than half of the track. The Indy 500 is one of the biggest events in the world and it costs about the same as going to any other random NASCAR race.

I am aware that many people might be upset about not being able to park and tailgate like they used to in Turn 3. I'm not sure why anybody would want to park there on race day. I park outside the track for a minimal $10 fee. After the Indy 500 is finished, I am usually home in Fishers (35 minutes north of IMS) at about 4:30 p.m. Parking in the infield, you might be lucky to get home by dinner time.

Greediness occurs when a company exceedingly charges for something. If nobody was willing to pay the price, then you may have a point. When the parking passes sell out within one day of the announcement, maybe it's possible that IMS didn't charge enough.

I will still continue to park for free in the infield on practice and qualifying days, but will go to my traditional parking spot for cheap that gets me on the road and home much more quickly than most anyone else. To me, this is much ado about nothing. If enough people are not willing to pay, IMS is willing to listen to you. In the meantime, those spots have sold out.
