I was just curious, what have been the ticket prices to any motor racing events you've attended?  Really no good reason.  Even though this is the outside F1 thread, F1 ticket prices count, too.

Only pro racing I've been to is NASCAR...
Pocono Raceway-$250 per person, includes pit/paddock pass
New Hampshire International Speedway-I don't remember, but probably around $80 since the seats were Sh#t and had no pit/paddock pass

[pumpdoc]

To many races to list
NHRA $45
Champ car $54
NASCAR $45 Phx.
Local dirt track $15
Formula 2000 $25
NASCAR, Watkins Glen $120 (3 day)
Long Beach $42

Whoa.  a 3-day at the Glen for $120?  My $250 is a 1-day.  Geez.

If we're counting local, local track: $12.

It helps to buy in Jan. turn 2 blue stands, of course is you figure the flight, rental suv, hotell etc(5 days) $1500.

Yeah, I'd probably drive so it'd be a little cheaper.

The Pocono's just a 1-day, but it's worth it since you can see the whole track from where we sit, and you get to hang out in the pits and paddock and get up close to the cars for about 4-5 hours.

Speaking of Pocono, I should upload the pics to my blog.

EDIT: Speaking of pics, what is the max number of pics allowed in an entry/post?  I wasted 30 minutes posting them all and then got an error message.  Blehh.  Would've been nice if the info was posted somewhere.

At the Melbourne GP this year I paid about AUD350 for a four day grandstand ticket on the last corner. Thats almost 300 US. i've never been to a GP overseas so I don't know if that cheap or a rip off.

[aussief1]

I paid AUD599 for my ticket to the Australian GP on the outside of turn one. It has remained at this price for the last 4 - 5 years.
