I am headed there for the race too. I have been attending the F1 GP for the past few years. I grew up near Indy, so I am very familiar with it. I always purchase tickets off of scalper about an hour before the race.

Sane is such a subjective thing...

On average above of below ticket price?

Usually at below face value prices. You have to haggle. They are usually trying to dump tickets off at that point, and have already made their profit off of early sales.

Hi there,

I just decided to make the trip to Indy for the Moto GP race from Washington DC. I will go alone so getting the best experience possible will be a priority.  I wanted to know if any of you can give me some tips as to what tickets to get, best areas to watch from and other information that may be useful. I do not know if the general public has any kind of limited access to the paddocks or the area around them. Is there a ticket that allows that? Is there a ticket that allows access to the Ducati Island? If one sits on  the outside of the track, can one goes to the inner field?

Sorry to bother you with so many questions but I plan on spending most the time at the track and want to know what will be available to me with the different tickets.

Thanks,

CrazyIvan and I are trailering out...I'll be lucky if I have my M by then, and the 1098 isn't exactly conducive to long-distance riding. Besides, we'll be playing crash truck for Zooom and Dolci. :)

I CAN'T WAIT!!! :D

I didn't forget her...just not sure what her handle on this forum is, and I was trying to ID people via that method. :)

With it being the first year of MotoGP at Indy I am not certain how things are going to work. If it is similar to the F1 races that are ran there, you have access to almost all seating areas on practice and qualifying days. You have a designated seat on race day. The best seat is a matter of opinion, but popular vote would probably say stands H and J. I say at the very top, so that you can catch a breeze if it is a hot day.
I am certain that just being at that race, sitting about anywhere will be fun though.
