What is the average ticket price for Formula One races?
Getty ImagesThe average ticket price to attend a Formula One race has several variable answers. It depends on location, circuit, season, and many other factors that can cause the price of a race to hike significantly.
Historic races that represent the most prestigious track events of the campaign and street races with limited access for fans, such as Monaco and Singapore, often find themselves at the higher end of the price scale, while others in mainland Europe and Asia can generally be found with cheaper tickets, such as Hungary and Japan.
Your seating location relative to the track is then important. Grandstand tickets are often the most expensive, but not always, while seats further away from the main action frequently come at reduced prices.
Additionally, many races offer multiple-day passes, allowing fans to attend action across the full racing weekend. These can sometimes represent a discount on individual tickets but can also prove to be conversely overpriced, depending on the package purchased.
Hospitality is also offered at all races, with packages sold by F1 Experiences on a race-by-race basis throughout the campaign. Demand often outstrips allocation in these instances, meaning they can be hard to obtain.
What are the best Formula One races to attend?
