Looking at tkts and a reserved seat at IMS.com is $65-$90?

And parking is $20.

Fun ain’t cheap!

One could go to 3 other sprint week shows for the price of one (gate admission only). Absurd pricing IMO

Just watched the heats on Flo. Midgets put on such a better race.

Ya b*tch when they don't pay well. Ya b*tch when they do.
Me. If I could make it and the weather was good. I'd be there.

How much is a sat night ticket to Smack down?

We are here enjoying ourselves. Is what it is, lots to pay for being operational 3 nights a year. Stands are full and the racing has been decent.

Have fun with your crew Terry. Sometime you have to pay for the experience of something. My wife and I celebrated an anniversary at a really nice restaurant. It wasn't just about the food, but the environment, setting, experience. I'd say that's similar to paying $65 for a dirt race inside the most iconic race track in the world

I believe their one event in May pays for all of their extra expenses for the remainder of the year.

All 3 nights for about $90 and that includes pit pass if you buy early. I was going to go but decided it was ridiculously expensive for a sprint race. That is just me, the experience part makes sense for a lot of folks so I won’t criticize them for going but I also understand the folks that think this was too expensive.
