Anyone with a family can tell you that as family numbers increase disposable income decreases. Unfortunately prices on the whole do not. Neverso more than now have families had to be careful with what they spend their money on, <\/strong>and one of the first things to be hit are vacations and families events. With so much pressure on the wallets of the average Americans is NASCAR doing anything to help? We take a look at how and why NASCAR may still be an affordable as well as a great day for all the family in the article below<\/strong> when we discuss the free ticket for kids options NASCAR introduced a few years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NASCAR Racetracks offer free tickets for kids 12 years and under for the Truck and Xfinity races. There are also heavily discounted tickets for Cup series races that start at 10 dollars, and some tracks even offer discounts for teenagers up to 19 as well as group and family ticket price reductions. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the article below we take a look at why these offers were introduced, what they hope to achieve and most importantly how you can get hold of these free and discounted NASCAR tickets for kids. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n The Idea of Free tickets for Kids at NASCAR races was announced in the middle of the 2016 NASCAR Season, and came into place for the start of the 2017 NASCAR Season<\/strong>. There was a recognition that viewership and attendances were on a downward trajectory, since showing signs of leveling off – if not reversing ( can check out out our NASCAR Average attendances article<\/a><\/strong> here if you want) and NASCAR felt, correctly so, a need to bring in new fans for the future. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n NASCAR tickets can be expensive if you plan on bringing the whole family and the dropping of the price to nothing for Truck and Xfinity is a great incentive to turn an occasional indulgence into something more regular<\/strong>, if not attending then viewing on TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The price on race days to just (starting at) 10 dollars for children under 12 is another great incentive that judging by the levelling and slight increase in viewers and attendances in the last few years is starting to pay dividends. <\/p>\n\n\n Currently the age limit for free and discounted NASCAR Tickets for kids is set at 12 and under<\/strong> ( you can check on the NASCAR site if this changes) So teenagers, unfortunately do not get the discount, although tracks may have their own pricing or family NASCAR ticket offers depending on the race as well.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n this means that children aged 12 and under can watch NASCAR Truck and Xfinity racing for free<\/strong>, and if families want to attend a Cup Series race, usually on the SUnday of the race Weekend, the prices for Kids start as low as just 10 dollars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Considering the price for NASCAR tickets can be as high as 45, with an average of 95 dollars or so, and go up to 400 plus dollars for premium experiences and seats this is a potentially a huge money saver for families. Just not those with teenagers yet! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That said a quick check of your local tracks website will often find offers for teenagers. We checked ( at the time) the next NASCAR race which was at Bristol Raceway<\/a> ( facts here<\/a>) and there were offers for children under 12, and for teenagers.<\/strong> None for adults unfortunately! There pricing structure ( just as a rough guide) was as follows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So while we can’t guarantee that there will be teenager discounts at every track it is clear that is is worth checking out to see. Your dollars are always better off in your pocket than someone else’s! <\/p>\n\n\n\n As We mentioned above the Free tickets are limited, usually, to the NASCAR Truck and Xfinity race days, <\/strong>although popular they are less so than the Cup Series and NASCAR being a business with a lot of over heads does need to make some money! <\/p>\n\n\n\n So Truck and and Xfinity racing is free for kids and children to watch, but there are huge price reductions on cup series race days for kids as well<\/strong>. As we mentioned tickets can start as low as 10 dollars, although these are unlikely to be track side (though again when we checked at bristol the adult price was 135 dollars trackside and the kids price was STILL only 10 dollars….)<\/strong> they still offer a hefty discount on adult prices and make the decision to make a family day out of a NASCAR race easier for many Americans. <\/p>\n\n\nWhen did Free Kids tickets Start Happening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
