T12 and T15 are the bomb!

I have two tickets for sale in the turn 12 grandstands with the pca group. Asking cost which is $1,060 for the two. Section 7, row 33. Some of the best seats at COTA.

PM me if you are interested. I'm going with seven others and had two friends that can't make it.

Row 3 is great. The stands start pretty high in 12 so no fence problems. I was there last year and the only advantage the higher seats had was an extra fraction of a second of view of the cars coming down the back straight. It was fun being close to the cars.

Agree with the 12-15 area. I have walked all over the track for photos and find this section the best viewing although for a change of pace from your seats in this area walk over to top of turn 1 and watch for awhile.

BUMP -

In the middle of trying to decide on tickets for this year's race! Everyone still agree T12/T15 is the place to be? Sounds like up high is preferable so you can see over the fences?

As everybody else says, top of 15 and 12 are the best seats but they are already sold as they are p[art of season ticket holders or very $$$$.

First 5 years I sat on front straight across from the TV screen where you get to see all the action in the paddock and good view of start as well as on the TV screen across. So if on front straight, you want to be between the middle of front straight and start line for best view.

With a PSL and upgrade you can get to the courtesy tents around the track, so ask your sales rep about this. Courtesy tents are really good for Friday and Saturday and allow you to walk around and see the track from different areas.

Last year I had a GA ticket and sat on the grass in turn 1, across from the TV and near the speaker. Great view and I will do the same this year. On Saturday i just walk around and view the different races from around the track.

Have fun.

I've done T12, T15, and T9. 12 and 15 are probably the best, there are plenty of 12 and 15 middles left. They are not cheap, but still available at the face value on the official site - $325 for T12 middles is about what they always are.
