Dover International Speedway introduces ‘Refer-A-Friend Ticket Rebate Program’

FOR FAN FORWARD

DOVER, Del. – Dover International Speedway has introduced a new Refer-A-Friend ticket rebate program that will allow current ticket holders, and new fans, to each save $ 20 per ticket on their purchase for the Oct. 2, 2011 “AAA 400” NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.

The one-time program provides existing customers with a unique redemption code that can be shared with their friends. If their friends use the code to purchase tickets, the original customer will receive a $ 20 rebate for each ticket purchased, up to the number of tickets on their account. For example, if that customer’s friend purchases four adult tickets using the code, the original customer is eligible for a maximum rebate of $ 80.

If the friend of the original customer purchases an $ 84 ticket in the North or South grandstands, rows 1-30, that friend will receive a $ 20 savings on their purchase for each ticket they buy. If the friend wants to purchase in another section, they will not be eligible to take advantage of the offer; however, the original customer will still receive their $ 20 rebate if the redemption code is used.

Rebate checks for customers who take advantage of this program will be mailed with their fall 2012 renewal packages in late September 2011.

The Refer-A-Friend program is not eligible to customers with $ 55 tickets. However, those customers can pay an additional $ 9 for a total of $ 64, and be upgraded into an $ 84 seat. The $ 9 upgrade would put those customers in a great seat in the turns at Dover International Speedway for Chase race No. 3 on Oct. 2.

Customers can redeem these offers by calling 800-441-RACE, or by visiting DoverSpeedway.com/referafriend or DoverSpeedway.com/upgrade55.

NASCAR action returns to the Monster Mile this fall with the Sept. 30 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race, the Oct. 1 “OneMain Financial 200” NASCAR Nationwide Series race and the Oct. 2 “AAA 400” NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 800-441-RACE or visit DoverSpeedway.com.
