Indianapolis Motor Speedway opens ticket purchases for 2027 season

Tickets for the 2027 event season at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway are now available for purchase via IMS.com and the physical IMS Ticket Office. The sale includes admission for the 111th Indianapolis 500, the Brickyard 400, and the TireRack.com Battle on the Bricks, alongside credentials for practice, qualifying, and various hospitality and camping options.

Because a high volume of fans renewed their seats from the previous season, the inventory for the 111th Indianapolis 500 is already limited.

The 2027 Racing Calendar

The schedule spans from the spring kickoff in May through the autumn events in October. While the marquee events draw the largest crowds, the Speedway is offering a full suite of access, including “Bronze Badge,” “Silver Badge,” garage passes, and pit passes for those seeking a deeper look at the technical side of the sport.
