Indianapolis MotoGP 2010 Tickets

Once again I will be trying to put together a group buy for the race. One thing I didn't find out until after the fact last year is that even if you already have assigned seating from a previous year it can still count towards a group purchase. The tickets don't have to be the same or in the same areas of the track. Most of you know this already, but the group buy gets you some freebie items like a souvenir, free bike parking tag (which can also be used for your car as well), coupons, lap around the track, etc.
One change they are doing this year is offering a race day only ticket compared to the 3-day ticket they did for the past two years.
The standard group buy rules still apply: you put in for 20 tickets, but if it ends up where only 12 people are going you only have to buy 12 tickets. The invoice for the tickets isn't sent out until a month or so before the race.
If interested post up and let me know.

Come on you chumps! Who wants to go?? It's MotoGP!
Rep called me today and sent some info on the package deals this year. Good news is that they lowered ticket prices this time around. A 3-Day pass is only $55.
Here is the official list of perks for group buys this year:
I have attached a few handouts showing the 2010 Red Bull Indianapolis GP group discounts and benefits we offer groups of 20 or more people in selected grandstands around the track. I would highly recommend the grandstand seats over the General Admission ticket packages. For this year, the group benefits will include:
$5 off the ticket price in selected grandstands
2 Free Indianapolis Motor Speedway souvenirs ($22 value)
Official Red Bull Indianapolis GP Event Program
IMS Centennial Era Cinch bag
Motorcycle Parking Pass
Motorcycle Parade Lap
10% off coupon at all participating IMS Retail Locations
Group Name on the Video Boards
Personal Group Sales Rep. to handle your account
Other special offers which are specific to each individual race (see attached documents)
For example, a ticket in the Southwest Vista for the Red Bull Indianapolis GP is a $132 value available for ONLY $95!
We also are working on a reservation system so that you could reserve a block of seats immediately and final payment would not be due until about 30 days before the event. Please let me know if you have any questions and my direct contact information is listed below. Remember all of the listed discounts and benefits are only valid if you purchase your tickets via the Group Sales office.
Thanks and have a nice day!
If you've bought tickets on your own in the past and want to keep those seats you can. That's what is great about the group buy. You keep your seat but get the added benefits. Money is not due until 30 days prior to the race. I'm just trying to get a good feel of those that would like to go this year.

You'd be amazed how much fun it is when there isn't a hurricane going on.
It'd be cool if you guys can make it again. Even if you decide to go with stand seating all we'd have to do is let the rep know where you want seats at to get it taken care of. I didn't have time to post this yesterday, but here is the breakdown in pricing (all 3-day tickets):
$150 - E Penthouse, B Penthouse, SW Vista Deck, South Vista Deck
$125 - A Penthouse, NW Vista Deck
$105 - J Stand, South Vista (sections 1-5)
$95 - Paddock Penthouse, H Stand, SW Vista, E Stand
$85 - B Stand, Tower Terrace (Sec 37 & 79 only)
$55 - General Admission

Sorry Onion,
I'm still unemployed, but have a line on a job opening up, here in something like 2 weeks to a month, but it is a pretty sure thing.
Hope you are well buddy, oh and if you go, I want another hat.

I didn't think you'd be able to make it, Tim. It's a bit of a drive for you to get there.
I'm hoping to be able to make it out to Laguna at some point in time.

Matt,
I would love to do this for sure, but... the distance, lack of cash flow, and other responsibilities kinda puts me down for a notta. Especially considering how much I've been already spending on the project machine.

If you ever do, make sure you bring extra cash for the "Parade Lap" of the track! The corkscrew will have your nuts up under your chin, and that's a good thing!!

I can't get 20 people rounded up, but I talked to the rep and there is a way to still get group perks. If you want to go send me a pm and I will forward you the info to get in contact with the rep. By doing this we won't have to mess around with you sending me money and me mailing you a ticket down the road.
