I have the impression that it is all standing. Also the map shows 3 VIP sections.
Are one or two for VIP parking?

With general admission at Indy with 3 price tiers, they can wait to determine where they put the barriers based on how many of each tier they sell. Since we won't be splurging on gold tickets, I am hoping they don't sell too many of them, as that will make the silver area closer to the stage.

I'm still having a hard time envisioning how they set this up. Are all these 'tiers' non-reserved, standing room only? And it's not elevated so you can't see over the tiers in front of you? It sounds awful.

Drove over to the track during lunch today. From the track museum parking lot inside the track I got a good look at the area for the stage looking out toward where the audience will be. Been there hundreds of times but wanted to look from a Stones concert perspective.

Yes, standing room only, and flat. It's going to be a big show.

With it being so flat in that area, you've gotta assume they will have the stage raised a good amount. Also on the radio the other day, I don't remember who exactly it was from IMS, but they said it will be the largest outdoor stage ever built in Indiana so that's exciting.

A lady at Circle City Tickets told me that ALL sections are general admission... that means get there early, run and push your way to the front and stand there for 10 hours or more... Ugh... sounds terrible.. at 65 years old, I need a seat. I thought hey banned stadium venue general admissions when people were stampeded and killed at the Who concert several years ago

I am 45, seen the Stones 5 times, been to track countless times and I want a seat. This is a really difficult show for me.

Part of me want to get on the catwalk rail early and tough it out for 300 dollars. The other part of says forget it, buy the cheapest ticket, tailgate in the parking lot until show time and then just be there for the event.

I figure the cheapest ticket plus parking, food, beer and sunscreen will cost me 100 bucks. No way will I take the kids for 300 a piece but maybe the bronze section-maybe...

Talked to the ticket lady at Indy today.she said once your in the concert area (silver,bronze,and gold) you can't go out and come back.limited grass no seating or shade and
gates open at one pm for a 9:30pm show.no carryins and no clue on vendor sales or bathroom facilities.sounds like a cluster %#$@.
Poor info and no idea on how many they'll let in. with a venue this large it would be nice to know how to plan for it.

It may not seem so well put together right now, but if they can handle 300,000+ really drunk people on race day, I'm sure they can handle 100,000 concert goers. The IMS guy I heard on the radio the other day said they've had this in the works for awhile now, so I'm going to trust them on doing a good job...hope I'm not wrong.

One of the shows I will go to is Indy and I predict I will say this the next day.

"Yesterday we bought 2 silver tickets outside the gates for $60.00 each at 6:33 PM. Inside the silver section it was kind of crowded and a bit of a hassle, but it was OK. We bounced around from side to side and fading to the back of the silver section where the crowd thinned a bit. We had a blast hanging out, drinking, partying and rocking to live Stones music in the festival atmosphere.

The view of the stage was OK but the whole area being flat didnt help. The sound was OK. We had a feeling it would be only an "OK" overall show for us, but the price was right. We mainly went for the historical spectacle of the Stones playing at the Speedway.

It rained on and off all day, so it was kind of mess, but at least it was cooler than it was all week. The rain stopped before the Stones came on and held off for the rest of the night. The show and songs were great and the fireworks after the show were also great."

Predicted-edit;
We wound getting silver section tickets earlier than predicted for $50.00. I knew there was no reason to buy tickets when they first go on-sale. Only people who can afford the $995 upfront area should do that.
