Indianapolis — The iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) has opened ticket sales for its 2027 racing schedule, offering fans the lowest prices ever recorded for the venue. Purchasers who buy before Jan. 4, 2027 will also enjoy a waived $5 service fee, making it an ideal time to secure seats for the upcoming season.
Early‑bird savings and key dates
IMS and INDYCAR President Doug Boles highlighted the promotion in a video released Wednesday, urging fans to act quickly so they can be present when the calendar flips from 2026 to 2027. “Get those tickets now so that when the calendar goes from 26 to 27, you’ll be here at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to watch the amazing racing,” Boles said.
The 2027 schedule includes several marquee events:
- Sonsio Grand Prix – May 14‑15
- Indianapolis 500 – May 18‑30 (including practice days, Fast Friday, and Miller Lite Carb Day)
- Brickyard Weekend – July 23‑25
- TireRack.com Battle on the Bricks – Sept. 17‑19
- GT World Indianapolis – Oct. 1‑3
Additional attractions such as the Snake Pit and the PPG Armed Forces Qualifying Weekend will also be part of the ticket offerings.
Strong attendance and sold‑out expectations
Reflecting on last year’s success, Boles noted that the 2026 Indy 500 attracted an estimated attendance of more than 350,000 spectators. “We are on track to have another sold‑out Indianapolis 500 and the best tickets are still available,” he said, underscoring the confidence IMS has in the upcoming season’s draw.
Fans can purchase tickets directly through the official IMS website, where they will find detailed information on seating options, pricing tiers, and the early‑bird fee waiver. The site also provides a calendar view of all 2027 events, helping attendees plan their visits around the full slate of races and celebrations.
