Five Days of Racing for Just $75 at the Snowball Derby

For some people, it may come as a surprise that one of the most sought after tickets in short track racing is also one of the most affordable.  However, that is the case when it comes to the 50th Annual Snowball Derby, one of the most highly-anticipated asphalt racing events ever.

With five days of racing, many would expect to at least blow through a $100 bill to get through the gates for all five days. However, that is not the case.

A five-day reserved seat ticket for the 50th Annual Snowball Derby is only $75. That’s right, an average of $15 per day to watch one of the biggest events of the short track racing season.

With each passing day, the anticipation for the 50th Snowball Derby continues to grow for both competitors and race fans. Every day more and more people make their plans to journey to Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, November 29 – December 3, and while the demand for a seat at the Derby is at an all-time high, there are still opportunities left to get a great deal for this once in a lifetime short track event.

Once again, race fans can get a reserved seat for the entire week of the Snowball Derby for $75, the same price that was charged in 2016. The only difference this year is that for the first time in event history, the Snowball Derby will expand to five nights of racing with the Pure Stocks taking to the track on Wednesday, November 29 to start off the week along with the Late Model Qualifying Draw and Green Flag Pit Party.

Another popular ticket option is also returning for 2017.  Fans can purchase a VIP ticket package that includes reserved seating and pit access for all five days for just $120.

With such high-demand to this historic event, the sooner race fans purchase tickets the more options they will have. So be sure to visit to www.5flagsspeedway.com or call the Five Flags Speedway office at 850-944-8400.
