WHAT TO PURCHASE: There are a lot of seating options at the Brickyard 400. With more than 250,000 reserved seats, this event has been billed as the second largest single day sporting event in the world. We will break your options down to 4 main categories. Great seats, Good seats, Average seats, and Seats you'll want to upgrade next year. Remember, unlike the Indianapolis 500, there is no infield seating for the Brickyard 400.
GREAT SEATS: While this is always somewhat subjective we think it's fair to say that great seats offer a view of at least one straightway and three turns. The Holy Grail for great seats is in the Penthouse of Grandstand E, box 7 or boxes adjacent. You can see the view from these seats on our set photos page. These seats offer a view of turn 4, the front straightaway, turn 1 and turn 2 as well as the start-finish line and the pits. These seats are also under roof and have backs on the seats. If you have these tickets and you want to sell them, please call us.

A similar view can be seen from seats high in the other turns around the speedway. Turn 3 offers a similar view if you find a seat high enough in the apex. We would suggest double letter rows in Sections 12, 13, and 14. You can see the view from these seats on our seat photos page. Unlike the premium turn one seats we described above, these seats are not under roof and have no backs to the seats, but for a nominal charge you may rent seat backs on your way to the grandstands.
GOOD SEATS: We would define good seats as any seat that offers a relatively unobstructed view of at least one turn and a straightaway or two turns and a short chute (the small stretch between turns 1 and 2 or turns 3 and 4). You are more likely to find these seats in double letter rows of the following grandstands. Northeast Vista, North Vista, Northwest Vista, Grandstand J, Penthouse Paddock, Penthouse A, Penthouse B, Southwest Vista, South East Vista. You can see the view from these grandstands on our seat photos page. All penthouse seats have backs on the seats and are sheltered with a roof. All other grandstands listed here have no backs on the seats and are not sheltered with any roof.
AVERAGE SEATS: We would define average seats as any seat that provides you enough of a view to see the cars clearly for some distance on the track. This may be part of the straightaway and part of a turn or most of a turn and part of the short chute and the seats would generally be midway up in the grandstand. Typically you would need to be above row J or K before you have an average view.
SEATS YOU'LL WANT TO UPGRADE: As much as it pains us to admit it, there are some seats at the speedway that don't offer a good view at all. These seats are typically down close to the track. Looking down the straightaway to your right or left causes the safety fence to become more and more of an obstacle the further you gaze into the distance. The only thing positive we can say about these seats is that sitting close to the track gives you an amazing sense of speed as cars come rushing by you so incredibly close. Make sure your life insurance is paid up before you go, because your ticket constitutes a complete release of the speedway for any and all liability. If your seats are on the front row, we would suggest you wear an aviator's cap and goggles.
