Seating issues with SPEED TV @ Raceway Park

I generally try and avoid complaining about things on a public forum, but this really irritated me last night at the ARCA/USAC races last night. I bought 2 general admission tickets for the races planning all along to sit in the "cheap seats" in turn four. After arriving early we snagged 2 great seats high in turn 4, shortly after we (and several other people) were approached by an LORP official who asked us to move to the front-stretch. He apologized and stated that they were bound by contract with SPEED TV to make everyone sit on the front stretch.
Maybe it's being petty, but if a person buys a general admission ticket he should be able to sit in a general admission area, or at least they should let you know at purchase that those seats aren't available. but... Got to see some great racing at a great track! I did send an email to SPEED TV requesting a refund for my tickets, not holding my breath though, lol. |

I went to the speedway for the Indy Lights race. Wanted to sit in turn two but the stands were closed. Should I ask for a refund?

Looks like they were short on crowd.
That's been a problem lately with all forms of live sporting events. Did they cover the empty seats with giant banners? Posted using Mobile Device |
