The NTT IndyCar Leadership announced on Friday that grandstand tickets for the upcoming Indianapolis 500 are completely sold out.
There will be 232,000 seats filled at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on race day, making it the second-largest city in Indiana for the event.
Strong ticket sales have led to the grandstand sellout, prompting the lifting of the local television blackout for the race, allowing Indianapolis residents to watch live on FOX.
Apart from the grandstand tickets, there are general admission tickets available for fans to occupy the grassy hills inside the turns during the race.
In total, there will be over 350,000 individuals present, including 20,000 fans in trackside suites, 12,000 employees, and over 2,000 event support staff.
The sellout represents a remarkable comeback from the COVID-forced postponement and fanless race in August 2020.
Although there are a few hundred tickets remaining for sale, they are expected to be sold within the next couple of days before the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 25th.
