Formula DRIFT Round 1: Streets of Long Beach Tickets Selling Fast


Long Beach, Calif. – April 4, 2008 – Ticket sales for Formula DRIFT’s season opener on April 12, 2008 on the Long Beach Grand Prix Street Course are selling quickly. Pre-Sale Tickets are available both online and at the Long Beach Convention Center box office. Hurry and reserve your seats now.

“Online ticket sales are tracking faster than last year. So we recommend fans to purchase tickets in advance to save a seat for themselves and their friends. We have also opened ticket sales for seating in Grandstands # 24 and # 25,” said Jim Liaw, president and co-founder of Formula DRIFT.

Tickets are still available, but are selling quickly. Grandstand # 17 (next to judging stand) and # 18 (where the judging stand is) the cost for tickets are $27 online and $32 the day of the event. Grand # 21 (directly across from # 17 and # 18) the cost for tickets are $25 online and $30 the day of the event. Both Grandstands # 24 and # 25 (by the finish line and the last hairpin turn) the cost of a ticket is $23 online and $28 the day of the event.

Once again every grandstand ticket sold will guarantee you a reserved seat. “Fans no longer have to worry about losing a seat and can roam around the venue and come back to have their seat waiting for them and not miss out on all the action,” said Liaw.

The Long Beach Convention Center box office is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM and is located on 300 Ocean Boulevard in Long Beach, CA. By purchasing tickets in advance through the Long Beach Convention Center box office, the online service charge will be waived.
