2018 Chili Bowl Dates And Ticket Information Released
TULSA, Okla. (January 25, 2017) The 32nd running of the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire may be just under a year away, but tickets for the biggest indoor Midget race in the world go on sale in just over two months’ time.
Starting Wednesday, March 1, 2017, the offices of the Chili Bowl Nationals will begin renewing tickets for the 2018 event, which is scheduled to take place January 9-13, 2018 inside the River Spirit Expo Center. As soon as tickets go up for renewal, the list for new ticket orders will also begin.
The deadline to renew is Friday, April 28, 2017. Tickets will be pulled by hand over the next month. As soon as all renewed tickets have been pulled, new ticket orders will be filled as long as tickets are available.
Reserved Seat tickets for the 32nd Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire are sold in four day (Wednesday-Saturday) and five day (Tuesday-Saturday) packages only. Tuesday’s opening night is the only individual reserved seat that is sold as an individual day ticket. Four day tickets are $227, plus shipping. Five day tickets are $282, plus shipping.
Cost of shipping varies on the number of ticket orders and the location we are shipping to (domestic or international).
If a Reserved Seat ticket cannot be procured, Pit Passes will be on sale at the event and never sell out. The Pit Pass allows fans access to the back straightaway on a first come, first served basis. Pit Passes are $45 per weekday, and $60 on Saturday. Buying concurrent days does save the buyer money.
If someone with a Reserved Seat would like to upgrade to a Combo Ticket/Pit Pass, the cost is $20 per day. Upgrading to a combo pass must be done at the event.
All current ticket holders will be sent a renewal form via USPS. The offices of the Chili Bowl Nationals are open Monday-Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. (CT). Starting March 1, 2017, tickets can be renewed by phone by calling (918) 838-3777.
