2024 NASCAR ticket price up to $270 higher thanks to Chicago tax – Illinois Policy

During the past decade, the amusement tax alone has generated nearly $1.83 billion for the city. Plus, Chicago’s 9 percent amusement tax is not the only tax on tickets. There’s an additional 3% percent racing fans will pay toward Cook County’s own amusement tax. There’s also the 10.25 percent combined state and local sales tax levied on the final ticket price.

Buy any tickets. When you don’t buy the tickets they can’t get their tax mitts into you.
Time to say , “ stick the tickets”.
