How to Save Money on NASCAR Tickets

Would you like to attend a live NASCAR race? If you would, you are definitely not alone. A large number of race fans would love to see a race live and in-person, but many are unable to do so. This is mostly due in part to costs. Yes, it can be expensive to attend a NASCAR race, but did you know that there are ways in which you can go about saving money on your tickets?

As nice as it is to hear that there are ways that you and other NASCAR fans can save money on NASCAR tickets, you may be looking for more information, like how you can go about doing so. For starters, you will want to make your ticket purchases as soon as possible. The closer it gets to a popular event, like a NASCAR race, the more scalpers are able to take control. Scalpers are individuals who purchase tickets to sporting events with the sole purpose of reselling them for a much higher price later on.

Another easy way that you can go about attending a NASCAR race, while saving money at the same time, is by examining all seating options. As with many other popular events, such as other sporting events and concerts, you will find that different seats or sections often have different price tags attached to them. Of course, you will want to try and get the best seat in the house, but you may want to shift your focus a little bit. Instead, search for the best seats that are priced within your budget.

Visiting online auction websites is another easy way that you can go about finding affordable NASCAR tickets. Online auction websites are ideal, as they make it easy for you to compare ticket prices, all within a matter of minutes. Although it is more than possible for you to find cheap NASCAR tickets on online auction websites, like eBay, you also need to use caution. Most online auction websites allow sellers to set their own prices. Some individuals may set their ticket prices at a ridiculously high amount, essentially, making them an online scalper.

Another great way to go about finding and buying cheap NASCAR tickets is by asking around. Most diehard NASCAR fans purchase their tickets in advance. Unfortunately, sometimes, plans change or emergencies arise. If you know of any NASCAR fans who have tickets for a race, but cannot attend, be sure to speak with them. They may have wanted to simply give their tickets away to someone that they know, but offer to buy the tickets instead.

Speaking of buying tickets from NASCAR fans who are ticket holders, but who are unable to attend the race in question, be sure to checkout your local newspapers. Those who wish to recoup a portion of their costs often turn to their newspaper classified section. This is where most will advertise any tickets that they have for sale. When using your newspaper classified section, as with online auction websites, you will want to proceed with caution. However, most individuals will ask for a fair amount for their tickets, if not an amount that is less than what they originally paid.

As highlighted above, there are a number of ways that you can go about finding NASCAR tickets for sale that are relatively affordable to purchase. As a reminder, when looking to receive something at a discounted price, including NASCAR tickets, use your best judgment.

What We Are Working On

Well,I just finished a post on another topic and somehow I did not save it or publish it. Another lesson learned about saving the info before you think you are making a post.

The topic I thought I had posted was on what we are trying to accomplish and what has happened the last few days.

A couple of days ago I received a comment from Marc at FullThrottle that I did not have permission to post his article on the Nascar Car-Of-Tomorrow. He was very professional about it and told me to get it off this blog, what you do with articles written by other people and what to look up to learn about using other people's work.

I was wrong as he pointed out even though I had given credit to who wrote the article and where I got it from. My intent was not to steal other people's work and pass it off as my own. Yet, I am responsible for what goes on this blog and so I accept the blame for what was done.

I apologize to Marc and thank him for setting me straight.

Lesson learned.

I also took down the article on the Jimmy Johnson Intervies as well as the story about knowing Dale Earnhardt Sr. (These 2 articles were also given credit to their Authors and where they were found.)

I did not expect that the first lesson learned was about stealing other people's work but I believe the problem has been corrected.

I will now move forward with the original goal of forming a team to develope a winning Nascar Nextel Cup Racing Organization.

I will start posting with more specific details about what we are doing, what needs to be done and how people can get involved, in the next posting.

Again I apologize to anyone I may have offended or hurt.

Nascar racing and Our Open Business Model Part 2

This is our second post about notes we have taken about the concept of the Open Business Model and how it could be used in our Nascar Team Organization. This allows anyone that wants to contribute to the team to get involved and share their thoughts, feelings and knowledge with us.

We will start posting comments on many of the notes and explain in more detail how they can be used in our organization.

Thanks for your time

Doug

Mass Collaboration

Employees drive performance by collaborating with peers across organizational boundaries, creating what we call a “wiki workplace.”

So-called supply chains work more effectively when the risk, reward and capability to complete major projects-including massively complex products like cars, motorcycles and airplanes, are distributed across planetary network of partners who work as peers.
