The GRM Experience Ticket Package for the Rolex 24 at Daytona is sold out. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, July 23rd, and given all of the benefits the GRM Experience Ticket Package includes, like the option to renew early, it's not surprising that every single person who purchased these tickets last year took us up on that renewal.

Fortunately, there's an alternative …

Last year I was able to get a front stretch package, bought infield parking from someone else, and had a great time despite the weather.

I took the option to renew, which made me eligible for an upgrade this year, and I bought two 4 day packages. Now I can bring a friend. I'm so excited!

One question. I don't see the Sunday breakfast in description of the four day package. Is that an oversight?

The frontstretch seating package does include Sunday breakfast, and it’s noted on the site. Where did you not see it listed?

Sorry I wasn't specific. I upgraded to a four day package, and don't see mention of the breakfast.

If anyone already knows they can’t make the race, I am in the market for 2 of the experience package tickets!

It's great that this event has become so popular; however, it's making it less and less fun to attend when tickets are nearly impossible to come by unless you camp in the grandstands lol. Sebring is becoming the same thing....

The GRM Experience Ticket Package (the one with infield parking) does not include breakfast on Sunday, just the usual coffee and donuts.

Thanks for the reply. I have to say, I really did enjoy the breakfast last year, especially as miserable as the weather was that morning.

It was the first time I'd been warm in 2 days!

I'm sorry to give it up, but I think that it's good to have something special for the front stretch ticket holders, and we're all still going to have fun!

And to clarify, we offer two packages. You can see the details on each right here:

TL;DR: GRM Experience Ticket package gets you Saturday dinner. The Grassroots Motorsports Frontstretch Seating Package gets you Sunday breakfast.

Well, I know that there were at least 2 GRM Experience tickets that were available for upgraders.  I used to have 4 but only renewed 2 of them this year.

Well that's not good, since l was very specific about what I wanted, and was standing in the ticket office. I was told I was paying for two GRM experience four day packages. 

While this has been confusing to me, it would be good if the people selling the tickets knew what they were doing.

That looks like you have the GRM Experience package with infield parking and Saturday night dinner after trading in the Stadium package.  I've got the same verbiage on my receipt with the same pricing.

I think that sounds right. This would be easier if I knew more about the packages, so I'll take some responsibility for the confusion.

Wow do we feel your pain, Doc. Could you please, please give Nancy a call here at our office at 386-239-0523? The DIS ticket office appears to be telling buyers something different from what they're telling us, and we'd love to talk to someone who dealt on the other end to sort out the confusion. Thank you so much :))
