General Admission

General Admission Locations

General Admission… an Indianapolis Motor Speedway tradition since 1909!

General Admission tickets are available for the Indianapolis 500 and the US Grand Prix. They provide admission to the grounds and the following viewing areas.

For the Indy 500, viewing mounds are available on the inside of the track in five distinct areas:

On the front straight just south of turn four and north of Tower Terrace.
In turn one just south of the Pit Road Suites and adjacent to First Turn Terrace.
In turn two, also known as the “Family Viewing Mounds”.
The entire backstretch.
All the way through turn three. This area is developing a reputation as a party zone, which can be good or bad depending on your perspective.

For the US Grand Prix, the following viewing mounds and stands are available to general admission ticket holders:

On the outside and exit of turn seven.
On the outside of the course with views of turns eight, nine, and ten.
On the inside of the course on the short straight between turns eleven and twelve.
On the inside of turn thirteen.
Tower Terrace (sections 39-77 only).
South Terrace.
First Turn Terrace (USGP turn thirteen).

Generally speaking, fans are allowed to bring blankets, lawn chairs, coolers, etc. to make themselves comfortable on the viewing mounds. For specific policy questions, it’s best to contact the Speedway directly.

In a 2004 story Indianapolis Star reporter Curt Cavin estimated that approximately 6,000 people watch the Indy 500 from the viewing mounds.

Donna- For the Indy 500 and Allstate 400, there are no seats available. Many people sit on blankets, etc. on the grass, and some bring lawn chairs. For the MotoGP race, there will be seats available for general admission ticket holders. Also, General Admission tickets are not available for the Allstate 400 unless you purchase the “Season Pass” which includes general admission to all three races held at the Speedway.
