I am seriously considering going to the Vegas SX. I' just curious if damn near $100 a ticket is the normal for "less than ideal seats" out there? I went to Atlanta this year and bought decent (middle level) seats for around $40 with stub hub's fees. Is Vegas just that high?

Also, I've done it before at Atlanta with good results. Are there scalpers out there hanging around the stadium selling tickets? Like I said I've done this at ATL with good results. Although I'm skeptical now days as I'm sure it's easy to forge tickets with just simple computer programs. I'd make them walk to the gate with me before i'd purchase the ticket.

And yes I know the shit isn't legal so I'm not here for a lecture.

Only thing bad about this title chase is that I like both guys and someone has to lose! If I had to pick one I guess I'm going with Tomac.

If i wasnt being hooked up through thomas and mack/UNLV i probably wouldnt go.... i paid 83 for phoenix thos year and with the family its hard to justify the expense these days. That being said there have to be cheaper options than 100 a ticket at sam boyd stadium.

You should go. There really isn't a bad seat. It's a small stadium. If you can, sit on the press box side (the other side gets cooked by the sun until after sunset).

I would justify a $100 ticket only because it's going to be a title race (probably). And the supply and demand being a smaller stadium and more people coming out to see Tomac and Dungey duke it out. The energy will be high - it's hard to describe.

And it's Vegas. Most riders and industry folks have their guard down because it's the end of the series. Go to the after party, be a super fan. You're likely to bump into some pros in the casino or see Ms. Supercross at the pool.

I wouldn't buy tickets from Stubhub...that's all secondary market, right?

MEC this last year was my first ever race I saw in person. It was awesome. With the points chase so close it is totally worth it. I'm gonna make sure I'm there.
