Fox News
All 135,000 tickets available for the Indy 500 have been sold out, which sets it up to become the highest-attended event since the start of coronavirus restrictions last spring. The sell-out means the local live TV blackout will be lifted for only the fifth time in history.
The figure is roughly 40 percent of the facility's capacity, which was reduced this year to accommodate social distancing protocols. The sell-out means that the local TV live blackout of the race has been lifted for only the fifth time in history, according to the Indianapolis Star, and sets up the 105th Indy 500 to become the highest-attended sporting event since restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic began last spring.More Related News
