Indianapolis 500

The Indy500 is an American Car race that is held every year. This race is held in May during the Memorial Day weekend. This race has been held in the State of Indiana annually for the past 60 years and has attracted nearly two hundred and fifty thousand people every year. This 500 mile race is one of the most popular car racing events and is one of the first of its kind to be televised, as early as 1949. The Indy500 is actually named the Indianapolis 500 mile race which has been shortened.

Since it is such a popular sport and has spectators coming from far and wide and even abroad buying the tickets can be a little difficult. There are a few things to concentrate on when thinking to buy these tickets. The first thing to do is to buy them as early as possible. Even though there are 250,000 tickets to be sold they go really fast. So don't wait till the last minute. The event may be held in May but the tickets come up for sale as early as January. You should keep a track of the various locations that they are being sold and pick yours up right away. Also the earlier you buy the more choice you have on which seats to pick.

If you by chance miss the mark and try to purchase your passes too late then you might find that most vendors will be sold out. In such a scenario it is a good idea to just contact the arena directly. There are cases when they have passes left over or there even may be last minute cancellations. You can benefit from both these situations as the arena will have the tickets that have been cancelled or returned.

If you can find websites, you can even buy the passes online. Imstix is the official site for the Indy500 ticketing office. They will be able to get you not only tickets to the main event but also pre-race events like the Carbonation Day where you can witness the cars preparing for the race. Buying from brokers in malls or online can also help you save some money as they generally have great discounts and offers. Generally though, to avail any of the offers and discounts you will be required to book the tickets at least 60 days in advance. Auction sites like eBay can also provide you the tickets but at auctions such as these the prices usually are much higher than if you buy from brokers.
