Overview
- Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which announced the news Wednesday, confirmed all reserved grandstand seats for the May 24 race are spoken for for the second straight year, prompting a live local telecast on FOX.
- This year’s final reserved seats moved about a week faster than in 2025, underscoring stronger demand heading into the 110th running.
- General admission infield tickets remain and some hospitality is still open, while pit and garage badges, parking, and camping have sold out, with verified resale seats available through May 20 at 4 p.m. ET.
- IMS says the 2.5‑mile oval’s grandstands—more than 230,000 seats—will be full, and total attendance typically reaches roughly 300,000 to 350,000 people.
- The local blackout rule, created decades ago to protect ticket sales, has been lifted only in select years tied to sellouts or unusual limits, including 2016 and the pandemic-affected 2020 and 2021 races.
