Get Tickets to the 2009 Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on 2/15/09

The 2009 Daytona 500 is on February 15^th at the Daytona International Speedway which is located in the beautiful state of Florida. This is also known as the "Great American Race." Tickets are not as hard to find as you may think. There are about seven events you can purchase tickets for all ranging from January 24^th to February 15^th. My favorite site to purchase the tickets for the Daytona 500 is at www.racetickets.com. It is a secured site for those of you who are concerned about internet hackers and identity theft. To purchase tickets you can use the following link- it brings you right to the page for the Daytona 500 so you do not have to search for it: http://secure.racetickets.com//DaytonaInternationalSpeedway/ft/TicketSales/index.cfm?event=tixList&display=tixList&EstablishmentKey=3&EstablishmentType=T&TixEventID=2029&showCart=no&HeadlineStoryID=17790&GatewayPass=y

There are several packages available that range from $105 for those just wanting to experience such an event to $2,055 for those of you who are avid fans. There are several packages that fit right in the middle as well that run about $680, you can have a great experience without breaking the bank!

Another site where you can purchase tickets is http://www.stubhub.com/daytona-500-tickets/. This site is offering an exclusive package called the In-Door Suite Package. This includes indoor admission that is right above the superstrech seating that is valid for 4 days of racing (Feb 12-15). You get drink tickets for beer or wine and unlimited beverages sponsored by Coke. This package also offers a continental breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, a lunch buffet on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, and lastly a dinner buffet on Friday. This package also offers daily snack, admission to the Daytona 500, pre- race, and Sprint Fanzone. All of this costs about $1,500.

If you are looking for a package that is not as heavy on the wallet, the same site http://www.stubhub.com/daytona-500-tickets/ has a package that is a bit slimmer in perks and on the wallet, it is called the Frontstretch Tower Package. This is package provides seats in the Keech Tower, VIP admission to the Frontstretch Hospitality Tent, lunch buffet and snacks. It also includes four beer or wine drink tickets, unlimited Coke beverages, Daytona 500 admission, event program and access to the pre-race and Sprint Fanzone. All of this is for about $525. Not bad, if you want to experience the 2009 Daytona 500 with style without going all out. You can purchase this package online.

For those of you attending, I hope you have a great time!
