Fans Can Get Inside Access In May With Bronze Badge Credentials
March 18, 2010 | By Suzi Elliott
Bronze Badge credentials for the 2010 Indianapolis 500 can be purchased from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Credential Office starting April 26, 2010, on a first-come, first-served basis at the discretion of IMS.
Fans may request an advance order form from now until April 12 from the IMS Credentials Office by calling (317) 492-6500. Upon order, a credential coupon will be mailed to the purchaser, which can be redeemed for a Bronze Badge beginning April 26 in the Credential Office.
Each Bronze Badge is a value at only $100 and grants gate and garage access from Opening Day, Saturday, May 15 through Saturday, May 29. The badge is not valid on Race Day, Sunday, May 30.
Bronze Badges are non-transferable and individuals must be at least 18 years old to use the pass. Call the IMS Credentials office for additional information.
The Bronze Badge continues to be one of the most sought collectible pieces of racing memorabilia. This year's badge represents the IMS front gate from the 1960s, a classic first glimpse of the hallowed property that many Indianapolis 500 fans will quickly recognize.
