Monterrey, México, January 10th, 2003.-
Starting next Tuesday, January 14th, tickets for the most exciting and
expected event of the Mexican racing season, the third edition of the
Monterrey Tecate-Telmex Grand Prix 2003 of the Bridgestone Presents
The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford, will go on sale. The race
will take place at the spectacular temporary circuit at Fundidora Park
in downtown Monterrey, in the state of Nuevo León, form March 21st to
23rd, 2003. The main attraction is having the three professional CART
series - CART, Toyota Atlantic and Barber Pro- running the same
weekend at the temporary 2.1 mile track, besides a full complement of
Mexican series which will allow racing fans a weekend of enjoyment.
From the logistic perspective, the Tecate-Telmex Grand Prix 2003 will
have a few changes in the grandstand location due to expansion of the
Convention Center located in the Park, Cintermex. However, for this
third edition of the Grand Prix -the event which set an attendance
record in 2001 and had almost a quarter-million fans in 2002- the
changes are limited to moving stands 6 and 7 across the pit straight
leaving total seating capacity at 58,633, basically the same number as
in the previous years.
The Organizing Committee of the Tecate-Telmex Grand Prix 2003, has
announced 3-day tickets will go on sale for the weekend, including:
practice and qualifying on Friday 21st, qualifying and support races
on Saturday 22nd, and race day on Sunday 23rd. Tickets go on sale with
an exclusive pre-sale program for Banamex (owned by Citibank)
cardholders from January 14th to 25th. This pre-sale includes a 10%
discount and a 3-months-without-interest payment plan for the owners
of Mexico’s most widely used credit card. On January 26th, ticket
sales opens to the general public.
Tickets can be purchased at the Ticketmaster centers, or at their
internet site through Ticketmaster Online:
www.ticketmaster.com.mx.
Also, a special booth will be located at the Coca Cola Auditorium
inside Fundidora Park in Monterrey.
