GENERAL ADMISSION SEATING POLICY

2026 updates

Eldora Speedway has implemented several changes to General Admission seating policies for major events beginning in 2026. We want GA seating to remain fun, fair, and enjoyable for everyone. Please take a moment to review the updates below for the 2026 season.

APPLICABLE DURING THE FOLLOWING EVENTS:

  • Dream week events
  • Kings Royal week events
  • World 100 week events

————————————–
GA BLEACHER SEATING:

  • General Admission bleacher seating will include rows 1–5 in all South Bleacher sections (SA–SR).
  • Previously, GA bleacher areas for major events consisted of the last three bleachers – sections SJ-SR
  • GA Bleacher seats may be saved with blankets but please, DO NOT USE TAPE on the bleachers.
————————————–
GA GRASS HILLSIDES:
  • To ensure fair access and maximize seating space for all fans, grass hillside seating will now be defined by the chairs you place, rather than tape, rope, or other space-saving methods.
What this means for fans:
  • All chairs or seating for your group must be placed at the same time
  • Rope, caution tape, or marking off extra space is no longer permitted

This change helps prevent large areas from being held for small groups and allows more fans to enjoy the hillside seating experience.

SCHEDULE FOR CHAIR PLACEMENT:

For the Dirt Late Model Dream, the following schedule applies:

Monday (June 1) – 12:00 PM
Lines may begin to be formed outside the gates at the predetermined locations (see map). Any chairs placed prior to the time will be removed from the line.

Wednesday (June 3) – 12:00 PM
Gates will open and Eldora staff members will walk each line down in a safe and orderly fashion to the respective holding areas. Once all fans have safely moved inside the facility, the Eldora staff members will release each line to begin placing chairs on the hillside. Tickets will not be needed to enter at this time.

Wednesday (June 3) – 1:00 PM 
The grandstands will be cleared to begin preparation for the 2:00 PM grand opening. Once gates reopen at 2pm, chairs may continue to be placed on the hillsides at any point.
