Only $10 for all 2024 SX, MX, and SMX series (regularly $30).
“Lack of good racing” is not the problem for me. I’m just over spending all that money, dealing with the huge “casual fan” idiot crowds, getting absolutely bombarded and overloaded with promotions and getting a ~17 minute main event (ala Santa Clara a few years ago). It's too expensive for the hassle involved and the entertainment you get in return.
Went to Hangtown and USGP this year for MX, doing the same but HT and MXDN this year.
Agreed with other posters on tickets costs/inability to buy at stadium directly in advance is annoying.
I like getting there at noon and just taking it easy watching practice and hanging out.

I also attend Muddy Creek and Budds Creek national every year and try to sprinkle a few fly-away races in there.
Went to A1 in 2015, MXDN at Thunder Valley in CO and Budds Creek. Attended US open in 2009 in the MGM grand, and that was one of the coolest races I've ever seen.
I always manage to bring a few people with me to the Atlanta race, including my wife. Every single person that attends with me complains about Lurch. Why does he feel the need to scream unrecognizable crap right before the gate drop?
Can't Wait for the Triple Crown race this Year!! Bring on SX 2018!
I'm turning 51 in a couple months. Hence the, "I have trouble dealing with idiot crowds" thing. And I have one who just started college and a second who will in another year and a half, so there's the "it's getting too expensive" thing.
Now that I am busy with work and family stuff and the TV broadcast is so good and live, I just stay home.
Plus tickets are pretty expensive now. I am ok with the crowds but a 2-3 hour drive to the race and the same home, when I can just relax at home. I have been in the pits 8 million times, so I don't get excited about any of that any more.
I still love Supercross but it translates to TV pretty well for me. Now Outdoors! You have to experience that live but I will say the TV coverage keeps me from driving up to Hangtown and Glen Helen. I just hit Glen Helen.
Here are the track maps I’ve collected from the races I’ve attended since ‘04. The top row is ‘04, ‘05, and ‘06. The rest are full years. Hey, who stole half of my ‘11?
The last few years are out of order. Fortunately I’m not so OCD that I was compelled to straighten them out.
This year I'll have to mix US-SX with a Canada's Rockstar Triple Crown AX/MX/SX series. I'm estimating 10-12 SX races. Seeing Kenny's return is a must.
With that being said, can you buy tickets at the box office of the stadium the day of the race?
My first Atlanta was 83 and then went every year from 92-06.
