From what I understand the ALMS is real close to canning itself.

As for ALMS pricing elsewhere, I believe Sebring is $80 for Sat only, and was $100 for multiple days. $20 more if you want to park in the track. What kind of support races do you get with the Lime Rock event?

not sure about Lime Rock but Mid-Ohio has the world challenge for a support race.
It is insane because the ALMS/IRL series come at the same time. Two big events in one weekend! I remember about 2 years ago when I went you couldnt even walk without hitting people.
The track had to rent out neighboring property/farms for people to park! It was wild!

Not sure how the turnout will be this year with the economy...but im sure they will still get a pretty decent turnout

I can not remember attending a one day LRP event and having it be that much. And the ALMS 'show" is basically them. Formula Atlantic, and the ALMS light things.

I seriously wonder if the price isn't a mistake. But hey, maybe Skippy has run the numbers and sees a model that will net more profit?

He might be forgetting that he's not selling tix to the NBA or the NFL.

On the other hand, those leagues teams are charging outlandish prices too.

Speaking of outlandish ticket prices....
Im from Cleveland and the Cavaliers went to the play-offs this year (they usually go every year and at the last couple of games...loose it all)
Home game pricing was INSANE.....

Now I understand its a huge event in basketball, TV coverage, people traveling distances to see them. But you were talking about $200-$300 seats!!! :eek:

I can buy 1 race tire for that money!!

LOL

yea, I was looking to try and get decent seats to see U2. Without navigating the labrynth of 'options' out there, it seemed like it was going to be $500 for a couple seats in the second level of a stadium. I bet I could research and find some options, but, yea, events cost money. Honestly though, I'd rather see U2 than ALMS, as do most of the country, LOL.

I decided not to work start, or try and hit anyone up for a pass to the Grand Am weekend at Mid-Ohio a couple of weeks ago, but I needed to be at the track for business reasons, so I bought a three day pass that included a paddock pass as well - $30.00
