The television phenomenon of PINKS All Out led to nearly 410,000 hits on bandimere.com the morning tickets and entries went on sale. |
The SPEED Channel show PINKS All Out has formed a remarkable grass-roots following as the show features local racers winning big money on nationals television at tracks across the country. The buzz in Colorado following the announcement that Bandimere Speedway would host the television show has been astonishing.
On February 1st, bandimere.com received over 338,000 website hits before 10 A.M., and nearly 410,000 hits by the end of the day. This translated into several thousand unique visitors logging in to purchase race entries or spectator tickets through TicketReturn. 400 lucky participants are now entered into the event, leaving many longing for the most desirable ticket in Denver since the Rockies run to the World Series.
Due to the incredible response, Bandimere Speedway has gone to SPEED to request the ability to enter additional participants to the event. An allocation of 25 entries was granted, and will be awarded through a "Second Chance" drawing. The drawing will be conducted live on the KBPI (106.7 FM - Denver) Morning Show on March 28th. The 25 entries will be drawn by representatives from NAPA Auto Parts, a major sponsor of PINKS All Out. Winners do not have to be listening live to claim their entry.
Entries will must be submitted on 3” x 5” cards, that include name, address, phone number, and email. Entries are limited to one per driver, and will be accepted through Wednesday, March 26. Entries can be mailed to Bandimere Speedway, c/o PINKS All Out Second Chance Drawing, 3051 S. Rooney Road, Morrison, CO 80465. Also, entries may be dropped of at the main offices, the Bandimere Speedway Racer Expo, or the Bandimere Speedway booth at the Tri-State Swap Meet. Persons with existing entries are not eligible for the drawing. Compete details are available online at www.bandimere.com via the PINKS All Out Second Chance Drawing information page.
People who made purchases online for PINKS All Out will soon be receiving a post card confirming their order. TicketReturn allows purchasers the option of printing tickets at home or holding in Will Call. If mailing of tickets is preferred, request instructions are on the post card.
"Overall, we were pleased that we were able to sell all 400 entries in a small time window, with the high volume of consumers, without server or host issues through Bandimere Speedway’s website, or our ticketing servers," said Gordon Hirsch, Vice President of Marketing at TicketReturn. "We regret that a configuration error allowed some purchases prior to opening time, however most entries were still purchased after 9 am," Hirsch said. "Any confusion about the total number of entries sold most likely resulted from the random order of ticket numbering."
