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 significantly raise the price.
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 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?
Getty ImagesThe best Formula One races to attend are subjective, given that some will prefer traditional courses over street venues or wish for an event that delivers more atmosphere than any other.
For classical purists, the Monaco Grand Prix, the Australian Grand Prix, and the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix take place on several of the most famed circuits in the world. New fans may gravitate towards the Singapore Grand Prix, the Las Vegas Grand Prix, and the Qatar Grand Prix, races that cover exciting street circuits or represent the pinnacle of the campaign.
