Thunder Road Unveils Online Advance Ticketing System

Barre, VT – Beginning this weekend, it will be easier than ever for Thunder Road fans to buy tickets to upcoming events. The track has partnered with online ticketing platform HappsNow to offer advance tickets sales for fans using the power of the internet from their computer, tablet, or mobile phone.

Beginning Friday, July 3, tickets for Thunder Road’s July 9 event will be available for purchase at www.happsnow.com/event/Thunder-Road-Speedbowl. By visiting this website, fans will be able to purchase tickets by section in accordance with state attendance guidelines. Processing fees will be added to each purchase.

For each subsequent event, the ticketing page will go live the day following the previous event. The link will be available on the Thunder Road website and the track’s social media platforms. Only one event at a time will be available for purchase due to current attendance restrictions.

Thunder Road season pass holders who attend each event will automatically be carried over to the next event in the ticketing system and will be seated in the same section. If a season pass holder is not planning to attend an event, or if they want to change seating areas, they must call (802) 244-6963 ext. 4 by 5:00pm on Monday.

“This system makes it simple and convenient for our fans to get tickets to events,” Thunder Road managing partner Cris Michaud said. “With the attendance guidelines, it’s more important than ever to streamline the ordering process and make sure people can order tickets without fuss. Ordering from your computer or smartphone certainly beats trying to call the same phone number 40 or 50 times!”

A $15 pay-per-view broadcast will also be available on the Northeast Sports Network. Fans can sign up for the pay-per-view at www.NSNsports.net/sponsors/racing.
