IHRA TICKET TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Last Updated: May 12, 2025
 

These Ticket Terms and Conditions (these “Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between the Ticketholder (defined below) and Cuttell Motorsports, LLC, dba IHRA (“IHRA”) in connection with the Ticketholder’s attendance at an IHRA-sponsored or sanctioned event (the “Event”) using a valid ticket (the “Ticket”). For purposes of these Terms, “Ticketholder” means the individual who purchases, possesses, or uses a Ticket, and includes any accompanying minor(s) and any other person(s) for whom the Ticketholder has purchased a Ticket. By accepting or using a Ticket, whether in physical or electronic form, the Ticketholder agrees to be bound by these Terms on their own behalf and on behalf of all individuals included within the definition of Ticketholder. All rights, obligations, waivers, and conditions set forth in these Terms apply equally to each such individual.

  1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS; REVOCABLE LICENSE. Each Ticket is a revocable license that grants the Ticketholder admission to the applicable track or facility (the “Track”) and access to a spectator seat or standing room for the Event. The Ticket may be valid for a single day or for multiple days, depending on the specific terms of the Event and Ticket. Unless otherwise specified, re-entry is not permitted. Ticketholder acknowledges and agrees that (i) Ticketholder’s use of the Ticket is subject to these Terms; and (ii) by purchasing, accepting, and/or using such Ticket, Ticketholder is deemed to have read and understood these Terms, and agrees to be bound thereby. Any failure to comply with these Terms may result in forfeiture of the revocable license and all rights arising under it without refund and entitles IHRA and/or the applicable Track to pursue all legal remedies available. Admission may be refused or revoked and Ticketholder may be ejected at any time in IHRA’s and/or Track’s sole discretion.
     

  2. CONDUCT. Ticketholder acknowledges that these Terms and the Event are subject to and governed by all applicable rules, regulations, memoranda, resolutions, policies, procedures, guidelines, interpretations, directives, and agreements of IHRA and the Track (collectively, the “Rules”), as they may be adopted, amended, or modified from time to time. The Ticketholder agrees to comply with all Rules during the Event. Ticketholder is expected to conduct themselves in a respectful and sportsmanlike manner at the Event. IHRA and/or Track reserves the right to suspend or revoke, without refund, Ticketholder’s license to attend the Event for any behavior IHRA or Track (as applicable) deems, in its sole discretion, to be inappropriate, unlawful, harmful to the health, safety or enjoyment of other attendees, or otherwise in violation of the Rules.
     

  3. TICKET SALES; REFUNDS. All ticket sales are final. No refunds or exchanges are permitted except as provided herein. This Ticket is valid only for the specific Event indicated on the Ticket. Ticketholder must retain possession of this Ticket until the Event has concluded. This Ticket will not be replaced if lost, stolen, or destroyed. IHRA and the Releasees (defined below) are not responsible for lost, stolen, duplicated, or destroyed tickets. If the Event is not completed, this Ticket will admit the Ticketholder to a rescheduled or resumed Event. If the Event is not rescheduled or resumed, a refund may be issued in accordance with IHRA’s refund policy (as may be modified from time to time), which may include partial refunds depending on the portion of the Event that has taken place. No part of the purchase price will be refunded by reason of the failure of Ticketholder to use the Ticket for the Event. All Events and related activities are subject to modification or cancellation at any time at IHRA’s sole discretion.
     

  4. ASSUMPTION OF RISK. Ticketholder understands and acknowledges that there are certain inherent risks involved with attending the Event, including risks specific to motorsports and drag racing, such as high-decibel engine noise, flying debris or shrapnel from malfunctioning or crashing vehicles, inhalation of fumes or smoke, fire or explosion, loss of footing on uneven or slick surfaces near the track, and hazards associated with standing near or within the track or pit areas. By attending the Event, Ticketholder may risk injury and other damage, including, but not limited to, concussion, serious injury, death or permanent disability, contact or collision with other persons, vehicles, or objects, head injury, spine injury, injury to the muscular or skeletal systems, injury to internal organs, scratches, bruises, contusions, strains, sprains, fractures, verbal abuse, loss and/or damage to sight, loss and/or damage to teeth, loss and/or damage to hearing, paralysis, inadequate or negligent first aid or emergency measures, weather-related hazards, natural hazards, or lost, stolen, or damaged property, whether occurring before, during, or after the Event. TICKETHOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT HE OR SHE IS VOLUNTARILY ATTENDING THE EVENT WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED, AND KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUMES AND ACCEPTS ALL RISKS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE EVENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH, OR PERMANENT DISABILITY.
