What's up I had a question for you guys or anyone who folloes with the supercross series. The past few years I have been getting industry seating at supercross. Industry seating is a section that is only available to the riders an their families/Friends. I have been pretty fortunate that one of my good friends was racing the past couple years. This year he is not. I managed to get my hands on some industry seating wristbands but not the hologram stickers that get u ALL ACCESS to try tack an everywhere else. Does anyone have the hook up on those hologram stickers or know of a way I csn get onto the track? Ive been spoiled with going where ever i want durting supercross that i dont think i can go like an average person anymore lol. Thanks guys!

An industry wristband gets you more access than a stickered ticket.

The industry seating is one of the favorite perks of our Inside Line Experience fundraisers.

I'm not sure you belong out there if you don't even know how you are getting there.

You can't get on the track with a wrist band. Or a sticker. You need to be a mechanic (with proper credentials), team manager, or part of FELD/Dirt Wurx/Asterisk with track access.
And after last weekends theft, you better bet (I hope) they will be tight on security.

As for where industry seating is? Don't know yet. New stadium. Usually behind the start, so looking at the seating chart for Glendale, maybe section 137 or 101.

Here's how I get Credentialed:

"I know BobbyM and I ride Maicos."

Then they ask me to sign on the line.

Done.

My son and I were guests of RCH Racing last year. I got media credentials this year due to my website.

Chad Reed couldn't even get some Moto GP guys on to the track in 2014 - he had to do the Dealer track walk with regular folks - we were in the group and it was kinda funny as Reed began to go early instead of waiting for the group to begin (it's like a tour and u don't walk the entire track, this was the late track walk , around 5p) .
When Reed began to walk with his Moto GP pals who were there at Houston I guess because the MotoGP was taking place near the same time a couple of hours away in Austin - the staff pulled Reed back and from a distance I could tell he wasn't happy.
Then he had to come back over to the edge of the tunnel and wait with the rest of us normal folks (well I guess to a degree we were lucky to be part of the fifty or so making the promo track walk) -- surprisingly most people didn't notice Reed as he was out of the series by then and dressed normally and I had no idea who the MotoGP guys were until I saw pic's later with Reed and the MotoGP guys on RacerX then I realized who they were.

Anyway my point is that Chad Reed couldn't personally escort MotoGP riders onto the track in the evening b4 the night show began as he was shutdown immediately trying to sneak some guys ahead of the tour group, so it can't be too easy to gain on track credentials these days which makes sense for a safety reasons.

Getting a VIP press box pass should be plenty for everyone - hangout with the two Jason's and Matthes in the press box, anytime access to the pits, sit with the riders in industry seating during practice. Everything except for on track access which I think should only be for those that are a part of the event should be allowed on the track. With the VIP press box credentials u can get Right up to the track and hang in the tunnel, isn't that cool enough?

I guess the easiest way To gain such credentials is thru the BTO PROGRAM ordered by jt66 but it's pricey. Imagine if it were easy to walk up to the will call trailer and pickup VIP press box credentials then everyone would do so and it wouldn't be so special, course most of us here prob feel like they are an insider and would like the credentials, ha-ha.

The bonus of Reed being forced to wait with everyone b4 the Dealer track walk began - we were able to get him to sign some stuff which honestly I was a little surprised at how willing, humble, Reed was - I can still picture him saying "cheers" when thanking him for the signings (we were real low key). To date that is the only time someone has told me "cheers" ....

Yes one of the RCH team members brought out a local dealer also when we were there. The local dealer didn't have the track walk passes and they wouldn't let them on either. If you don't have a track walk pass you aren't getting out there, period.

I don't know what kind of hologram sticker you get, but I have never seen a sticker that gets you all access. The ticket with a hologram gets you in and out of the pits whenever you like, but you still are unable to go down the tunnel and do a track walk.


Maybe things in Phoenix are different, but I have had the sticker with a ticket for the past few year and its just a glorified pit pass..

Been fortunate enough to have friends way more connected and cooler then me, who have been generous.

My experience is only accurate to Anaheim stadium, but Feld has increased security to all stadiums:

- Industry seating, with only a ticket is pretty limited, you can sit in the industry seats (which aren't all that great). It used to be a free-for-all in industry seating, now they actually make you sit in your assigned seat; however, usually your ticket will have a hologram sticker on it. My understanding is the hologram sticker ONLY gives you pit access before and after the pits open/close. NO track access.

- Wristband, it's been a few years, but I recall this was for pit access only. You still needed a ticket to sit in the stadium seats.Haven't seen a wristband in a while.

- Media credential, comes with a lanyard and usually has your company written in black sharpie. For me, this was the holy grail. Maybe because I was carrying my camera kit but i hung out in the press box with the team analysts, Steve Matthes and had the elevator ride with Dianna Dahlgren. Also had full access to the track, tunnel, etc. I track walked with JGR Yamaha. Also, spent some time in a suite with a team. My perception is if you're a nice guy, with a media credential, people tend to let you go wherever you want.

It's pretty cool to see what goes on behind the scenes. I know Wing Lam from Wahoos! and had a mutual friend of a certain Alpinestars turned TLD turned back to Alpinestars rep that made my SX experiences pretty special with team rig access, etc.

As always, it's all about who you know, unless you're special, which i'm not.

I'm pretty sure industry seating at Anaheim is still pick any seat, because tickets/w stickers, wristbands, hard cards are allowed to sit here.
Tickets w/stickers get you access to pits before race & after race. You can't get into pits during the race at Anaheim races.
Wristbands get You into pits before, during, after race, also gets you short cut down tunnel to industry seating. Maybe not anymore with the Michael Akaydin bike theft.
Totally correct on it's all about who You know Smile
