How to Get Tickets to the Bank of America 500

If you are a NASCAR fanatic and feel the need to be part of the action, you will want to make your way to the annual Bank of America 500 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, NC. But once you've decided to go, you still have the important task of buying your tickets. Knowing where to look can help ensure the best seats at the best price.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Get tickets from Tickmaster.com, the official vendor of Bank of America 500 tickets. Click "Sports" on the menu bar then enter "Bank of America 500" in the search tool, where you will be taken to a link for the event. You can opt either to buy tickets directly from other users or to get general admission tickets.
2. Go to StubHub.com and find Bank of America 500 tickets under the "sports" tab. Click the link to buy tickets, then select the seating area and pricing that you want. Hit "View Details," select the quantity of tickets you need, then follow the instructions for completing the transaction.
3. Consider using TickCo.com, where you will find tickets for the race under the sports tab. TickCo.com offers a live inventory of tickets to choose from, meaning that you will know the exact section, row and seat of the ticket you are buying. General seating tickets are also available if you prefer that option.
4. Look at TicketsNow.com under the "Sports Tickets" tab. Like other sites, this site tells you the exact location of the seats you will be buying tickets for. Unlike TickCo.com, however, TicketsNow.com gives the opportunity to purchase a single ticket on many of the ticket options.
5. Visit a website such as SportsTravel.com and opt for a package deal for the weekend that includes hotel stay and transportation in addition to the race tickets. Although this is a pricey option, it would make planning your trip much easier for you.
6. Compare prices at other online ticket liquidation centers, such as TicketLiquidator.com. The more you shop around, the more likely you are to get the best deal on Bank of America 500 tickets.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not expect a wide selection of tickets sold by other people on the Ticketmaster website, as their may only be a few options to choose from. You will also be limited in the number of tickets you can purchase doing it this way.
• One disadvantage to using TickCo.com lies in the fact that you cannot buy a single ticket. The minimum purchase requirement is two.
• Although TicketsNow.com does offer flexibility on the number of tickets you can select to buy, not all quantities are offered on some of the ticket options.
• The option to buy tickets for specific seats is in real-time, meaning that what's available now may not be what's available tomorrow. If you find exactly what you're looking for, consider snatching up the tickets before someone else does.
