Premium seats are sold for the season only. Bench seating is available as reserved or general admission by the event. Certain special events may require a different seating layout in which case maps will be published with that event.

To help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, guests are subject to bag/cooler searches upon entry. If an object in the bag/cooler cannot be identified the guest may be asked to empty it along with any closed containers in it. For ease of access, guests are encouraged to not bring bags to the facility. Security measures may be enhanced based on requirements of promoters, local authorities, or at the discretion of RIS. These procedures may include, but are not limited to, a more thorough search of guests and their property. Guests that refuse to comply with security personnel and protocol will be refused entry, and will not be eligible for a refund.

Smoking of tobacco products only (no vaping) is prohibited in all grandstand areas; smoking areas are marked and located adjacent to the licensed area and along the fence behind the tower.

Tickets for all RIS events are available for purchase at www.riversidespeedway.ca, by calling the admin office at 902-863-2410, or at the track box office on event days (while supplies last). Tickets acquired through any other means may not be legitimate and therefore not honoured. Digital tickets purchased online can be redeemed with the QR Code using a mobile device or they can be printed; once the QR code is scanned the ticket is void. In all cases, save your ticket until the completion of the event – should the event conclusion be postponed the original ticket may be required for entry on the postponed date.  On-sale dates, pricing, and more for each event can be found on our Schedule & Tickets page.

All vendors and/or solicitors and/or service providers, whether for profit or not for profit, on RIS grounds require permission and prior approval. Please send requests at least seven days in advance to info@riversidespeedway.ca.

Guests should assume all events other than racing are rain or shine – unless otherwise noted in the event details. If an event is held in wet or cold weather it is incumbent on the guest to wear proper attire and footwear and to be aware of the forecast before attending our events so they can prepare accordingly – and to check with the venue to be sure it is continuing as planned. As noted in the Postponements section of this document, RIS reserves the right to postpone events both for the entirety or to conclude an event that has already started.

In the event of rain during a racing event the racing will be temporarily suspended. Every effort will be made to complete the program after the rain stops and the course is deemed safe for competition. If officials decide the bad weather will prevent the return of safe racing conditions in a reasonable amount of time, the remaining races will be postponed or canceled as follows: If no qualifying or heat races have run, your rain check will be honored at the scheduled rain date. If a portion of the qualifying events has been completed, 50% of the value of your attached rain check will be honored at the next scheduled event. There will be no refunds on your ticket if the main event is more than 50% complete. Please keep your ticket stub as the rain check is attached. You must present your ticket with a rain check stub attached for compensation in case a portion or full rainout happens. NO REFUNDS.
