The 2006 Grand Prix of Denver will offer more track-side viewing than ever before. Guests wanting the security of a guaranteed seat can purchase reserved tickets in areas offering the best views of the racetrack. However, for the first time, grandstand seating is now available on a first-come basis to all general admission ticket holders. This will give Denver fans the option to stay in one place with a guaranteed seat, or to move about the circuit and enjoy the on-track action from a variety of viewing options.
"Whether you want the security of a reserved seat in a great viewing area, or the freedom to roam the facility and experience the event from different views in general admission seating, we have a ticketing package to meet our guests' needs," said Rob Johnson, general manager for the CENTRIX Financial Grand Prix of Denver. "This year's theme -- Life in the Fast Lane -- is all about combining motorsports with action sports and live music. Living in the fast lane is about making choices on your terms and having the freedom to enjoy it. Our new seating embodies that in every way."
This year's CENTRIX Financial Grand Prix of Denver also features additional hospitality clubs and chalets. For the first time, the Denver venue has added a VIP section directly over pit row, allowing fans to get up close and personal to the cars, athletes and action. In 2006, VIP ticket holders will enjoy elegantly catered club/chalet accommodations with a birds-eye view of the track.
The Grand Prix has enhanced its ticket purchasing system through a simple-to-use online system. General Admission tickets start at $8 per person and reserved seating prices begin at $89. Full ticket pricing options are listed at and can be purchased through www.gpdenver.com. Guests can also purchase tickets toll free at 877-772-5425 and at trackside ticket offices during race weekend.
