Took a look at the Bristol ticket page. Only singles are available for this weekend's Cup race; no pairs. How do they expect to fill 160,000 seats one ticket at a time?

Obviously, with the drastic decline in car count, they are too embarassed to sell that many tickets. Less tickets sold means less witnesses of such a shameful showing.

Ratings will subsequently continue to go up due to lack of sales of those singles which in turn will cause Goodyear to produce even worse tires and Tony Stewart to return to IndyCar.Originally posted by rexObviously, with the drastic decline in car count, they are too embarassed to sell that many tickets.

Tracks are adopting the all you can eat seating, Lowe's now has some knd of value menu. With the single ticket sale I believe Bristol is trying a form of 'Speed dating'. People buying the single seats will be singles looking for love, they will fill out a questionaire at the seat they buy then every caution flag they will relocate to another single seat occupied by a member of the opposite sex. They can read the answers of the person who sat in that seat previously and see if they like them then change seats on every caution and see more answers.
Then they all meet after the race and share a big laugh that some fools believed that Sarah Fisher was posting on the Indystar boards about announcing Indeck as a new full year sponsor."You can't arrest those guys, they're folk heroes"
"They're criminals"
"Well most folk heroes started out as criminals"Comment

This is yet another NASCAR fan friendly gesture. You now have the opportunity to purchase a seat for your cooler.Comment

They're letting you buy your cooler a seat now? Bless them. I've been looking for a place to put mine for years. Always had to leave it in the car.Originally posted by FuelerComment

In 2004, tickets were sold out the previous October.
In 2005, tickets were sold out in January.
In 2006, tickets were sold out by at least February.
In 2007, they announced a sell out in February.Comment

Funny you should mention the Bristol ticket page. I was on there yesterday checking them out as well. I'm gonna be in Charlotte this weekend and was considering taking a drive up there to see them. All I could find were singles. And the prices were very salty.Originally posted by RacewriterTook a look at the Bristol ticket page. Only singles are available for this weekend's Cup race; no pairs.

$3.50 per gallon gas prices and a crappy economy will tend to do that.Originally posted by Doctorindy
Funny, how the TV ratings are up though.

^Hopefully high gas prices and bad weather in the midwest continue, the ICS needs the ratings.Comment

There will be hundreds, if not thousands available on 11E leading up to the race.Originally posted by RacewriterTook a look at the Bristol ticket page. Only singles are available for this weekend's Cup race; no pairs. How do they expect to fill 160,000 seats one ticket at a time?
On the respective race days - CTS tix will be $10-$20. Busch tix will be $20-$30. Cup tix will be $40 - $50.
Believe me, I've been on the losing side of that more often than not the past five years - and after going to 18 straight races at BMS I finally gave my tix up for good 2 yrs ago.
Our "ticket guy" gets 12 for every race - has so since '92... and for the past several years he/we've been left short trying to get rid of pairs for people that backed out of our group.
BOTTOM LINE... if you want to go to a race at BMS & don't have a ticket - go on race day & you'll be able to get good seats, very cheap.

While ratings bumps for ICS would be nice, racing to metal bleachers and 15 fans won't look great on TV, especially in HD. I'll take increased attendance first, then bring on the ratings.Originally posted by 430Comment
