The 2022 Daytona 500 is sold out, with over 101,000 fans expected to attend the Feb. 20 race. Last year's event was restricted to 30,000 fans due to restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The superspeedway can hold over 101,000 people, which sets up the race to be the second-highest attended sporting event of the pandemic era behind last year's Indianapolis 500, which ran at 40% capacity with approximately 135,000 tickets sold.
Grandstand tickets for the Daytona 500 run from around $100 to $400, but a variety of multi-day and experience packages are also offered.
The 2021 Daytona 500 had just 30,000 in attendance due to COVID-19 restrictions in place at the time. Fox Sports reporter Bob Pockrass reported that this year's precautions will include masks required for indoor spaces.
