Big E tickets

[thexfactor0210]

Wow, I hope they are going to overhaul the frontstretch seating or add way more money to the purse! Eldora has been making a ton of money on the big races for years. I know, it is worth the money and already produce good payouts. If you break down the amount of money made on these events though they are doing very well!

Unless I read the tweet wrong. The Dream is still going to pay using the same pay format, $20k for second. Only thing that was changing is it's $125k to win. And it might only be just for next year for the 25th anniversary

[thexfactor0210]

Seems like a big increase for only 25k extra...

Knoxville:
$106 for reserved three days (not advanced price)
$7K Thurs / $7K Fri / $40K Sat

Florence:
$96 for reserved three days (not advanced price)
$10K Thurs / $10K Fri / $50K Sat + mod show

Cedar Lake
$90 for reserved three days (not advanced price)
$6K Thurs / $50K Sat + local late model show

Eldora
$113 for reserved three days (advanced price)
2 x $10K Thurs / 2 x $10K Fri / $52K Sat

For the quality of field attending Eldora, the quality facilitites, full shows each night and the purse they pay out... it would seem like the $113 is a very good value. You are getting two additional $10K events Fri/Sat for basically $10 each night versus the other big events.

While we all know Eldora makes huge coin on these major events, the one thing you cannot say is that they are overpriced compared to other major events. Now, if you compare the event to the Sprint Car Knoxville Nationals and the payout they are providing racers at their marquee event versus Knoxville (fyi... $150K to win and $10K start + payouts each night)... well now that is where the debate REALLY begins.

[hucktyson]

No one knows what eldora makes except the accountant . Whatever it makes it well deserved period

[MI Dirt Fan]

Well they make enough to stay open every year, have big money races and keep the place up to date.

As always Rich,

You are among the the few 4Mers with a voice of reason.

Nicely stated on the various Crown Jewels.

Nothing will ever compare to the World 100, event wise, so a few extra dollars is not un-expected..Or surprising.

Rich what does it cost to go to the 410 nats for the 4 days they race

[TackyTracker]

I think us dirt fans have it pretty good when you think about going to a nascar race for 3 days or just a 9 inning cubs game.. I'll pay it Eldora and thanks for staying open

[hucktyson]

Exactly !! Eldora is even nicer everytime I go back, nothing compares to eldora , the fact that their ticket prices are in line with anywhere else is remarkable. A 20k 1 day show at Pittsburgh that pays 1200 to start is 75 for a pit pass on top of the 105 entry fee ....

[WisWildManFan]

Just keep the beer prices the same and all will be well

[zyoung25]

One thing we can't complain about at Eldora, is the food prices.

In all fairness, PMS is the gold standard in bending you over. They have been for 30 years. Higher prices than anyone, and no money back into the place.

And yes, Tony is putting money into Eldora. Lots. He has done a ton. As a promoter/owner, he has done a great job with Eldora.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

I have no issue with paying a few extra bucks for Eldora, well worth it.
