Bryan Hulbert – TULSA, Okla. (January 29, 2025) Just off the 39th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink, plans are already in motion for the 40th edition of the world’s greatest Midget race, happening January 12-17, 2026, inside the SageNet Center at Expo Square.
First step: Tickets.
Starting Wednesday, March 5, 2025, all reserved seat ticket sales will begin. This includes new ticket orders and renewals, starting at 9:00 A.M. (CT). Seats will be sold in six, five, and four-day packages. Four-day tickets are $245, five-day tickets are $305, and tickets for the full event are $365, plus tax (8.517%) and shipping. One to ten sets of tickets will be $10, 11 to 20 sets of tickets will be $12, with 21 sets or more being $15 to ship.
In advance of ticket sales opening, fans can sign up for text alerts about tickets, times, and more. Text the word subscribe to (918) 205-7090.
Domestic orders not held in Will Call will be sent via USPS-certified mail. This is done after the Knoxville Nationals in August. Each order sent will require a signature upon arrival. All international orders will be kept in Will Call.
The offices of the Chili Bowl Nationals are open Monday-Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. (CT). Again, all new orders, as well as renewals, begin at the same time. Current ticket holders will be sent a renewal form. Those can be returned to 1141 S. 83rd East Ave. Tulsa, OK 74112, or faxed to (918) 836-5517. Tickets can be purchased with a major Credit Card, Cash, Check, or Money Order. Orders will not be taken via email or social media.
All current ticket holders have until Wednesday, April 9, 2025, to renew their seats. The Chili Bowl Nationals does not automatically renew tickets.
All orders are processed by hand. All renewals are processed first, then changes are made to those accounts, and then new orders are done in the order they were received until all tickets are sold. New orders are done in the order they are received, starting with six-day orders, then five-day, then four-day.
If a Reserved Seat ticket cannot be obtained, Pit Passes will be on sale at the event and never sell out. The Pit Pass doubles as a General Admission pass and allows fans access to the back straightaway on a first-come, first-served basis. Pit Passes are not sold in advance.
The Chili Bowl Nationals does not sell tickets or Pit Passes online.
