Daytona 500 2027 Tickets: Where to Buy and What They Cost

Update log (1)
  • — Prices in this article were read on the official seat maps and on the resale sites on 10 August 2026, six months before the race. Ticket prices move as inventory sells, and the camping sell-out and the not-yet-live discounts are both states that can change.

Key takeaways
  • The 69th Daytona 500 runs on Sunday 21 February 2027. Tickets went on sale on 10 June 2026 and are still available: the cheapest race-day seats on the official map were $183.20 each with fees included on 10 August 2026.
  • Buy from the track first. daytonainternationalspeedway.com sends you to Ticketmaster, which is the primary seller. SeatGeek is NASCAR’s official resale marketplace and On Location is the official travel-package provider — everything else is ordinary resale.
  • Resale is not obviously cheaper. Vivid Seats showed a $171 get-in and SeatGeek $195 on the same day, against the official $183.20. All three are within $25 of each other, and only two of them say whether fees are included.
  • Camping has already gone. The speedway’s Speedweeks camping page says all inventory is reserved, with a waitlist only. Discounts for military, teachers, first responders and healthcare workers are listed as coming soon rather than live.
  • You will not hold a ticket for months. Tickets are digital, delivered through the NASCAR TRACKS app, and the speedway says they appear two to three weeks before race weekend — so anyone offering tickets in hand now is not selling you what they claim.

Tickets for the 2027 Daytona 500 are on sale, and the cheapest way in is the track’s own website. On 10 August 2026 the lowest race-day seats on the official map were $183.20 each with fees included — less than the get-in price on one of the big resale sites and about the same as the other.

The 69th running of The Great American Race is on Sunday 21 February 2027. Tickets went on sale on 10 June 2026, so you are six months early rather than late.

Where should you buy 2027 Daytona 500 tickets?

From daytonainternationalspeedway.com, which hands you to Ticketmaster. Everything else is either an official partner with a specific job or ordinary resale.

There are three official routes, and they are not interchangeable:

  • The track itself. Every Buy button on the speedway’s Daytona 500 page goes to am.ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster’s account-manager platform. That is the primary seller — the seats have not been owned by anyone else yet.
  • SeatGeek, which has been NASCAR’s Official Ticket Marketplace Partner since a multi-year deal announced in July 2022. It is the official place to buy resale tickets, which is a different thing from buying them new.
  • On Location, the Official Travel Package Provider for Daytona, for packages that bundle tickets with hotels, transport and pre-race access.

Anything else — Vivid Seats, AXS, the various package resellers that rank well for this search — is a resale marketplace. That is not an accusation; resale is legal and sometimes cheaper. It is a statement about who is selling you the seat.

One practical note that catches people out: ticketing for the speedway has moved to Ticketmaster, and the track tells returning customers to sign up or log in using the same email address as their old Daytona International Speedway account. Two accounts with two emails is the common failure, and it has to be fixed by contacting the track.

How much are 2027 Daytona 500 tickets?

From $183.20 a seat for race day, with fees, on the official map.

TicketFromFees
Race day, low band$183.20Included
Race day, next band$194.65Included
2-day Trioval Club$802.21Included
4-day reserved$810.66Not stated

The $183.20 seats were in sections 180 to 184 and the $194.65 seats in 108 to 112. The 2-day Trioval Club price came from sections 340 to 346 and 357 to 360, and the 4-day price from 337 to 339, 363 to 365, 437 to 439 and 463. Those are the cheapest sections showing availability in the lowest-price sort at that moment, not the only seats on sale and not a claim about how much stock is left.

One thing about the fee column needs saying plainly, because most ticket guides skip it. The official seat maps do not all use the same price basis. The single-day and 2-day Trioval Club views carry a “Price (incl. fees)” label, so $183.20 and $802.21 are what you actually pay. The 4-day view does not carry it — checked twice, on two separate page loads — so $810.66 is on a basis the page does not state. We have not added an estimated fee to it, because guessing a fee and printing it as a price is how these articles go wrong.

Is resale cheaper than buying from the track?

Not clearly, and the numbers are closer than the marketing on either side suggests.

SellerGet-inFees stated
Official, via Ticketmaster$183.20Yes
Vivid Seats$171Yes
SeatGeek$195No
StubHubCould not check

Vivid Seats was the cheapest on the day, at $171, and its page says prices include fees and stamps itself 2026-08-10 17:50:50 UTC, which is more transparency than most. It also reported an average ticket price of $2,999, which tells you the listings run from cheap seats to hospitality and that an “average” on a resale site is close to meaningless as a budgeting number.

SeatGeek’s schedule table showed a lowest price of $195 for 21 February 2027 — above the official price, without saying whether fees are in it. Its listing for 17 February 2027 at the same venue starts at $39, which is the genuinely useful thing on that page: Speedweeks has cheaper days than the 500 itself.

StubHub is absent because it served us New Taiwan Dollars rather than US dollars, so no figure we could read would be the one a US buyer sees.

The honest summary: on 10 August 2026 the three get-in prices sat inside a $25 band, the official one was in the middle, and it was one of only two that said what its fees were. Buying from the track is the option where you know what the number means.

What do the multi-day packages get you?

More racing, at a price that jumps a long way past the single-day ticket.

The speedway sells Speedweeks as packages rather than as a menu of individual days:

  • The 2-day package covers the Daytona 500 plus the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and ARCA Menards Series doubleheader. The Trioval Club version at $802.21 sits in the club, which the track lists as sections 340 to 362 on the 300 level and 440 to 444 and 458 to 462 on the 400 level, with a start/finish-line view, an open-air bar and patio, 21-inch reserved seating and televisions.
  • The 4-day package adds the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and the Duel At DAYTONA, for $810.66 in reserved seating.

The gap between them is $8.45 as listed, which looks like the bargain of the century until you remember the two are not on the same fee basis and are not the same seats — one is a premium club product over two days, the other is standard reserved seating over four. They are two different purchases that happen to land near the same number.

One rule worth knowing before you buy the club product: all guests need their own reserved seat regardless of age. There is no lap-child option in the Trioval Club.

What has already sold out for 2027?

Camping. All of it.

The speedway’s Speedweeks camping page currently reads: all camping inventory for Speedweeks has been reserved, with a waitlist for anyone who missed out and no guarantee that anything reopens. That covers the lot — the Orange campgrounds inside turns 3 and 4, The Shores at Lake Lloyd, Yellow Premium and Yellow RV inside turns 1 and 2, Green RV in turn 4, Red RV and Red Premium RV near Lake Lloyd, and Park West RV outside turns 1 and 2.

Six months out, with grandstand seats still available at the cheapest price band, that is the clearest signal in this whole article about what to book first.

The other thing not currently available is a discount. The speedway runs special offers for military members, teachers, first responders and healthcare workers, but the Speedweeks offer is listed as coming soon rather than live. If you qualify, that is a reason to wait rather than a reason to hurry.

When do you actually get your tickets?

Two to three weeks before race weekend, on your phone.

Tickets are digital. You get them through the NASCAR TRACKS app: download it, set Daytona International Speedway as your favourite track, open My Tickets, sign in with the email attached to your speedway account, and add the tickets to your mobile wallet. Transfers to the rest of your group happen from the same screen.

The part that matters for anyone shopping around: the speedway states plainly that tickets are available two to three weeks before race weekend and you may not see them until then. Your order shows under My Events long before the tickets themselves appear.

That single fact is the best scam filter available for this race. In August 2026 nobody holds a 2027 Daytona 500 ticket, because the track has not issued any. A resale listing this far out is a seller undertaking to deliver later, which is normal and how the market works — but “tickets in hand right now” is not a claim anyone can honestly make, and it is worth treating as a warning rather than a selling point.

What this does not tell you

What the seats are actually like, what time the race starts, and what any of this will cost in February.

Every price here is one reading on one day, six months out. Ticket prices at Daytona move as the cheap bands sell through, and resale prices move faster than that. The relationship between the numbers — official in the middle of the resale range, and clearer about fees — is more durable than the numbers themselves.

We have not priced hospitality, the Trioval Club four-day options, group tickets, parking, scanner rental or the NASCAR ONE premium experience, all of which the track sells separately and none of which we opened. Nor have we priced On Location’s travel packages, which are quoted as bundles with accommodation and are not comparable to a seat price.

The start time is not known. The official event listing says “Time: TBD”, and one resale site is showing a specific evening slot that the track has not announced. If the time matters for your travel, it is not settled yet.

And there is no ranking of seats here. Which sections are worth the money at a 2.5-mile superspeedway is a genuine question, and it is not one we can answer from a seat map read in August — so we have quoted the numbers on the map and left the recommendation to people who have sat in them.

The three seat-map links are the pages the track’s own Buy buttons open; the tracking parameters have been trimmed. Ticketmaster, Vivid Seats and SeatGeek all reject command-line checks, so those pages were read in a browser instead, and the speedway’s own pages were checked both ways.

How we verified this

Official prices come from the speedway’s own seat maps, not from a listing site. Every official figure was read on the Ticketmaster Account Manager pages that daytonainternationalspeedway.com links to from its own Buy buttons, on 10 August 2026. Section numbers are quoted so anyone can check the same view.

The price basis is not the same on every official page, and we say which is which. The single-day and 2-day Trioval Club views carry a “Price (incl. fees)” label; the 4-day view does not, on two separate loads. So $183.20 and $802.21 are fee-inclusive and $810.66 is on an unstated basis. We have not converted between them, because we do not know the fee.

The resale numbers are each seller’s own headline figure, on their own timestamp. Vivid Seats prints “All Prices are in USD and include fees” and stamped its own page 2026-08-10 17:50:50 UTC. SeatGeek’s schedule table gives a lowest price without stating a fee basis. Those are not like-for-like and are not presented as if they were.

StubHub is missing for a method reason, not a market one. Requested from here, StubHub served New Taiwan Dollars rather than US dollars, so any figure we read would not be the one a US buyer sees. Rather than convert or guess, it is left out and the reason is given.

The race start time is genuinely unannounced. The official listing says “Time: TBD”. One resale site shows a specific evening start; we have not repeated it, because the track has not published one.

Availability figures are a snapshot of one view. The official map showed ten sections in its lowest-price view. That is what was visible in that sort order at that moment, not a claim about total remaining inventory.
