Daytona 500 Tickets

Engines rumble, the pack tightens, and the tension builds as 40 NASCAR Cup Series cars draft at speeds approaching 200 mph on Daytona’s high banks. Whether you’ve followed it for years or you’re planning your first one, Daytona 500 tickets put you inside “The Great American Race” at Daytona International Speedway.

This page covers everything you need — from understanding how Daytona 500 works to finding the right tickets and knowing what to expect when you arrive.

About Daytona 500

First held in 1959, the Daytona 500 is NASCAR’s season-opening crown jewel, run annually in mid-to-late February at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Often called “The Great American Race” and even the “Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing,” it’s widely regarded as the most prestigious and richest race on the NASCAR calendar — a career-defining win that comes at the very start of the season during the sport’s signature Speedweeks buildup.

On the competition side, the Daytona 500 is a 500-mile main event: 200 laps around Daytona’s 2.5-mile high-banked asphalt tri-oval superspeedway, with 31-degree banking in the turns. It’s run under restrictor-plate / tapered-spacer rules that produce close-quarters “pack racing” and the ever-present risk of multi-car incidents known as “the Big One.” The field is 40 cars, and qualifying is uniquely Daytona: single-car qualifying sets the front row, while the rest of the lineup is shaped by the Bluegreen Vacations Duels held the Thursday before the race. The winner takes home the Harley J. Earl Trophy and earns full NASCAR Cup Series championship points (plus stage points, with the race run in three stages), with green-white-checkered overtime possible if a late caution changes the finish.

The Daytona 500’s legacy is packed with defining moments and icons. The inaugural 1959 race famously ended in a photo finish, with Lee Petty declared the winner over Johnny Beauchamp after photographic review. Richard Petty holds the record with seven Daytona 500 victories, and Dale Earnhardt’s long-awaited breakthrough in 1998 remains one of the sport’s most celebrated wins—while the 2001 race is remembered for the final-lap crash that took Earnhardt’s life. More recently, William Byron captured consecutive Daytona 500 victories, including the 2025 running. With Daytona International Speedway’s modernized frontstretch grandstands and festival-like infield culture, it’s a full-scale spectacle. If you’re planning to attend Daytona 500, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.

How Much Do Daytona 500 Tickets Cost?

Daytona 500 tickets typically range from around $100 to $150 for upper-level/general admission to several hundred dollars or more for premium frontstretch grandstand seats, with premium packages running higher. Suites and hospitality options can run into the thousands.

Pricing is most influenced by where you sit and what kind of access you want. Seats near the start/finish line and tri-oval are typically in highest demand, and ticket costs also move based on seat level, any hospitality/pit access, major marquee storylines, and how close you’re buying to race day. If you’re looking for value, general admission and upper-level grandstand inventory often provide the most budget-friendly way to be part of the event while still soaking in the Speedweeks atmosphere.

No hidden fees. At Box Office Ticket Sales, the price you see is the price you pay. All fees are shown before checkout — no surprise charges when you reach the final step.

Getting Ready for Daytona 500 Race Day

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation goes a long way — especially for a packed superspeedway weekend where crowds, traffic, and pre-race activities are all part of the experience.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cellular service near large events can get congested on race days. Save them to your phone's wallet or screenshot them as a backup.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is the standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for entry and security, especially on high-demand dates.
• Rideshare: Plan your rideshare pickup point — post-event pickups can take longer than expected.
• Bag policy: Plan for a clear-bag policy and stick to posted size limits for soft-sided coolers/bags. Avoid non-clear or oversized bags.
• Payment: Bring a card or mobile payment — many vendors are cashless.
• What to bring: Hearing protection (earplugs or headsets), sunscreen, a scanner/radio for driver audio (if desired), and clear bags per policy. Dress for Florida February weather, which can range from warm to cool.
