ROSSBURG, OH (Nov. 9) – Eldora Speedway’s association with TicketForce, and the ability to purchase tickets and campsites online through the track’s website, has become a hit among its fan base, particularly during the current renewal process for the 2013 Dirt Late Model Dream weekend, Kings Royal weekend and World 100 weekend.
“Since the renewal campaign began three weeks ago, 52% of the purchases have been online,” reports Ticketing Manager Tess Thwaits. “And, of that number, 81% of the transactions have been during non-business hours; many over the weekend. The fans are taking advantage of the ability to do their business easily and comfortably, from the convenience of their home and in their own time frame.”
During the renewal process, which ends November 16, race fans have the ability to renew the seats and campsites they had purchased for last year’s marquee events – the Dirt Late Model Dream, Kings Royal weekend and the World 100. This opportunity includes the option to carry those seats over to the newly expanded Thursday and Friday nights of the Dirt Late Model Dream and World 100 weekends when Eldora will present full racing programs and Twin 25 feature races on each of the preliminary programs.
While the online system at www.EldoraSpeedway.com continues to grow in popularity, the ticket staff also accepts orders over the telephone during normal business hours.
A new feature for renewing patrons is a ‘drop and add’ period from November 26 through November 29. At this time, fans will have exclusive chance to upgrade their purchase with available seats and/or campsites remaining after the renewal period.
Ticket and campsite sales for the 2013 Dirt Late Model Dream (June 6, 7 & 8), Kings Royal weekend (July 12 & 13) and the World 100 (September 5, 6 & 7) go on public sale Saturday, December 1 at 10 a.m. On that day, special office hours of 10 a.m. through 3 p.m. will be observed, in addition to the online system that will begin its 24 hour per day ability.
Complete information on the 2013 marquee events, along with seat maps and campground schematics, may be found at www.EldoraSpeedway.com. Telephone purchases may be made by dialing (937) 338-3815.
