Default FS: Friday & Saturday Corvette Corral - Long Beach Grand Prix

My wife and I are in the middle of "downsizing" which includes moving into a smaller home. Unfortunately, this means we will not be attending the 2019 Long Beach Grand Prix, April 12-14. I purchased 2 each 3 day grandstand seats and Corvette Corral Parking for Friday and Saturday.

A description of the package is listed below:

Corvette Parking - Friday at Grand Prix of Long Beach Circuit (Tickets: 1)
General Admission GAParking Pass
Grand Prix of Long Beach - 3 Day Admission at Grand Prix of Long Beach Circuit(Tickets: 2)
Grandstand 27 Section 1F Adult 3-Day
Grandstand 27 Section 1F Adult 3-Day
Corvette Parking - Saturday at Grand Prix of Long Beach Circuit (Tickets: 1)

My price is exactly what I paid for the package, $268.

I am not interested in splitting the package up. You are welcome to purchase the package and resell what you won't use.

I called Tammy Johnson, who is the Ticket Manager at the Long Beach Grand Prix this morning. Tammy said several people have called to purchase Corvette Corral packages, but the Corvette Corral is sold out both days.

Anyone interested please send a Private Message.

Thanks!
Randy

They should go fast. Always see someone looking for them as the race nears.

Thanks. We've traveled from Arizona to attend the Corral that last 5-6 years. It's one of the best race weekends of the year.

Sorry to hijack this post... but has anyone received their tix/Corral passes in the mail yet?
Looked at the calendar and it's less than 3 weeks away!
Ordered mine back in August (renewal).
I thought I recall them arriving earlier in past years?
I emailed them mid-last week but no response.

I will probably start a new post once my tickets arrive but since the OP has already successfully offloaded his tickets I thought I would tag onto this post that already has generated some interest.

I will have a Corvette Corral pass and 2 general admission tickets available for Friday only.
I am looking to recover my actual cost of $108.00. I should have the tickets in hand by April 1st (so I was told this afternoon) but as has already been discussed, they are behind in getting them mailed out. If anyone is interested let me know and we can make arrangements for exchange.

Thanks,
Dan

Hey Dan, I'll take your tix for Friday when you get them. I can send you a message with my info and we can set something up.

Historic IMSA GTO class C4 Corvettes, Camaros, Capris and more will be on track twice Friday at 11:30 and 3pm and Saturday at 5pm.
Our IMSA Camaro #10 was accepted to the LBGP to race with 32 Historic IMSA cars.
It's an improvement over watching celebrities race Toyota street cars, right?

I spoke withn Tami Johnson last week. She said the delay is because they had to reprint all the tickets with Acura (new main sponsor, replacing Toyota) on them.

Yeah, but not an improvement over the CanAm cars, in my opinion. They're my all time favorites.

Maybe next year it will be Historic F1 which is tied with Can Am for my favorites.
You'll like this. Historic Can Am at LBGP.

My LBGP tickets and parking came in the mail just now. I've been to all 44 LBGPs, this will be #45. All three days of all except the three or four times it's rained on Friday or Saturday (never on Sunday). We have the best seats in the house: top row Grandstand 29, just past the Toyota (probably now Acura) bridge, at the start finish line, across from the pits, where they're hauling *** down Shoreline. Standing on the fence in front of our stands, they're going so fast it's like your eyes are playing tricks on your brain. We can see from the hairpin to Turn 1 and downtown Long Beach. Standing on our seats, we can see the Port of Long Beach, the Queen Mary, the Palos Verdes peninsula, the Marina, and Long Beach beaches. We have Marina parking right by the Blue entrance. We hang out right across the road from the Corvette Corral. We'll be parked in a burgundy Acura RDX with a USC easy up. Look for me and holler at me. I'll come talk to you through the fence, as always. Big Red, my 14 crystal red Vette vert is staying home this year. We have a tradition: every morning at about 7:30 we each have a King Taco all meat carne asada burrito with cilantro and onions and salsa verde and an ice cold Becks.
