Tickets for IndyCar Races


Long BeachWhat could be better than attending an IndyCar Series race in person and experiencing the action up close? It’s always a great idea to visit an IndyCar race. But how much do tickets for these races cost, and where can you buy them? We’ve gathered all the information for you!

Types of Tickets


When buying IndyCar tickets, you’ll need to decide which type of ticket you want. Here are the options:

General Admission Tickets (GA)


At most tracks, General Admission is the most affordable way to attend the race. A General Admission ticket grants you entry to the track, but usually does not include access to a grandstand seat. However, many tracks have designated areas where you can watch the cars in action, such as the hillsides at tracks like Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Road America, and Barber Motorsports Park.

Grandstand Tickets


Most tracks have grandstands located along the track. A Grandstand ticket provides access to the track grounds (like General Admission) and includes a reserved seat in the grandstand.

VIP Tickets


Want to enjoy the race in ultimate comfort and style? Then a VIP package is perfect for you! VIP tickets often include access to a covered terrace with food and beverages included. Each race handles VIP packages differently, but they often come with extras such as access to the paddock, pit lane, or even the starting grid. Naturally, VIP tickets are the most expensive option for an IndyCar race.

Paddock Tickets


For die-hard IndyCar fans who want to get as close to the action as possible, a paddock pass is a must! With a paddock pass, you can watch the teams working on their cars and might even bump into a driver. Paddock passes are typically offered as an add-on to your existing ticket. Not all races provide paddock passes; some tracks include them only as part of a VIP package, while others may not offer them at all.

Other Options


In addition to the options mentioned above, it’s worth checking what else is available for each race. This could include special passes for amateur photographers (like at Long Beach) or access to the starting grid (such as at the Grand Prix of Indianapolis).

Where to Buy Tickets for IndyCar Races


You can easily purchase tickets for IndyCar Series races through the official website of the specific race. Each race has a dedicated ticket page on its website, offering a complete overview of all available options – including single-day race tickets – and the ability to order tickets online. In the table below, we've also included links to the ticket pages for each race!

Our Tip: Do you attend the same race every year? Many races offer the option to renew your tickets, often allowing you to pay less than during the regular sales period!
