Question by angeroo: What would be a fair NASCAR ticket price?
My family and I are attending the Joliet, IL NASCAR race this Saturday. We got 4 tickets in the bleachers and a preferred parking pass online. All together it totaled over $ 800. Is this a fair price? We were told it costs more to have seats that are together but when we got the actual tickets it said $ 90 on them, quite a difference from the $ 200 we paid for each. Did we get really screwed over?
Each ticket was $ 200 and the parking pass was about $ 75. We accidentally ordered 4 parking passes but a guy called and asked if that was what we had intended to do. He then swindled my mom into purchasing these obviously WAY over priced tickets. Heads are gonna roll if this race gets rained out or something.

$ 200 at Chicagoland? Hell yeah, you got ripped off.

$ 90 sounds like the regular face value. Did you buy them from the race track, or some kind of ticket service? I don’t know what preferred parking is, but usually if you buy them from the track web site, they sell tickets in a package, because they more families to come. $ 800 does sound high.
Unless you’re riding shotgun with one of your favorite drivers, you paid too much. The 4 tix would be 360$ . So unless the parking pass is worth 440$ …………
$ 90 is the normal, fair ticket price for decent seats at a NASCAR race (some tracks have $ 40 tickets now in some sections).
I’m not sure what section your bleacher seating is, but $ 200 is quite high just for seats and parking unless the race was sold out and tickets were hard to come by. I’m guessing you didn’t go through the track to get the tickets? I bought $ 200 tickets for a race coming up at Pocono but that includes club section seating, non-bleacher seats, food and drinks, pit passes and preferred parking.
Yep that is a little high but you will have a great time and it will be worth it ,live and learn .

your ass hurt yet?
I’d say about 90 dollars
oh about tree fiddy
I have been to Michigan and Daytona and never paid over $ 50. Michigan in turn 4 halfway up and could see whole front stretch and pit road. At the ’06 500 sat 20 rows up on start finish line in the Campbell section. It does help to be good friends with a good ticket scalper though.
Did you get your tickets from the track? Or a promoter of some sort? Also did you get something else with your tickets? Pit Passes? Did you get tickets for both races this weekend? Count your tickets and see if there are more than 4 tickets. If all you got is 4 tickets for ONE race and packing then YES you got screwed.
Big time rip off…tape the nascar race on tv, save the 800 dollars and take your family to your local dirt track… whole family can go for about 100 dollars, and you get to see some real racing
Don’t do business with those people. At least nobody got hurt.
My 500 tickets were $ 1320 for four days and those are the best seats. Last week for the coke-400 I paid $ 500 for 2 tickets for 3 days. I would think they would be $ 160 each for a great seat at chicago.
200 dollars hope your driver wins will make it a bit better for you but yep you got riped of
