IMS
Tickets for the 101st Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil are on sale today, along with the entire 2017 Month of May schedule. Fans who have not already pre-ordered tickets can visit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway ticket office or IMS.com to purchase their seats for a schedule that also includes the IndyCar Grand Prix, Indy 500 practice and qualification days, concerts and more.
"Many fans jumped at the chance to renew their tickets after this year's historic race, with reserved seat purchases already trending notably higher than several previous years," said Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Doug Boles. "The 101st Running is going to be a spectacle worthy of the world's largest single-day sporting event and we can't wait to see an enthusiastic crowd celebrate more history and thrills at IMS. Our renewal demand was high, so if you haven't purchased your ticket yet, now is the right time to get the view you want."
IMS has long been a family-friendly facility, offering free General Admission to all racing events for children 12 and under when accompanied by a paid adult. Starting this year, IMS will extend this offer to kids up to 15 years old, and will also introduce new grandstand family packages for several 2017 events.
The Month of May's first event, the IndyCar Grand Prix, is held on the 14-turn, 2.439-mile IMS road course May 12-13.
