BUY: Daytona tickets now
Tickets for the highly anticipated 2016 DAYTONA 500, NASCAR’s biggest, richest and most prestigious race — and the first ever following the completion of the $400 million DAYTONA Rising redevelopment project — will officially go on sale Monday, June 22nd.
“It is a very important day for all of us at Daytona International Speedway as we prepare for our grand reopening next year,” said Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood III. “With the reduced seating capacity and all new amenities in place, there is a great chance that we will sell out ahead of time for the DAYTONA 500, so we encourage fans to get their tickets early and reserve their spot to be a part of motorsports history.”
Fans will have their first opportunity to witness the 2016 DAYTONA 500, to be held on Sunday, February 21, 2016, in the new motorsports stadium, experiencing unprecedented amenities that include 101,500 new, wider seats; thousands of premium club seats; 40 escalators and 17 elevators; 60 luxury suites; 11 social “neighborhoods,” and three concourse levels that will span the nearly mile-long frontstretch.
Those wishing to attend will need to act quickly, as there will be a limited number of tickets available due to the reduced seating capacity in the new stadium.
In addition to “The Great American Race,” fans may purchase tickets and multi-day packages for the remaining events during Speedweeks, which officially kicks off with the 58th Rolex 24 At Daytona TUDOR United SportsCar Championship event on Jan. 30-31.
