Indianapolis Motor Speedway can accommodate about 350,000 fans, but only around 88,000 will be allowed to attend – which would still make the Indy 500 the largest sporting event since the pandemic began.
Mark Miles, President and CEO of Penske Entertainment Corp., said the speedway has offered credits to anyone who has purchased tickets but no longer wants to attend the race. IMS is also encouraging fans over 65 to skip the race, will limit attendance in the infield and reduce suite seating.
"Our outdoor facility is mammoth and with attendance of about 25% it will certainly look different this year,” said Miles. “We want to demonstrate that even under current circumstances, people can gather with carefully planned procedures in place so we don’t have to go back to shutting down our country and our community.”
IMS will fulfill all ticket requests that have been received from existing customers. Those tickets will be distributed beginning the first week of August.
