General admission seating is $30, assigned seats are $35 and that includes the USACC race prior to the Sun Trust Indy challenge. Has to be the best deal in professional racing sports. Kids under 12 are free in general seating with paid adult ticket! I have been for the last several years and it has been great.
not sure about the status of hotels. I live just an hour away and drive back and forth to the track for Friday and Saturday night activities. You should be able to find something close I would think as the Indy race draws only about one half the crowd as NASCAR races there.
