United States Grand Prix - Formula One (F1) - Austin

Damn, I didn't realize that tickets would be so expensive. That being said, I would encourage anyone with the means to go for it. I was able to go in 2001 at Indy, and it was by far the coolest motorsports event I've ever experienced. IRL, Nascar, AMA Superbike didn't come close.

I was lucky to get free passes to the ESPN suite for that race, but I spent 90% of the weekend on the "grassy knoll" since it is a much better place to watch the action. If I do make this one, it will be in the cheap seats.

I'll pay $300 for grass if it's for whole race weekend.

I couldn't agree with you more. I went every year and it is such an amazing spectacle. I went to the Indpls 500 and Brickyard every year I was there too and I have to say, each has it's own draw and all were VERY fun but F1 and it's raw power and speed is literally second to NONE.

You better believe I'll pay $300 for grass seats if it's a weekend pass and I won't think twice about it.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!! I just finished the survey and FUCK THEM!!!!!!!! The prices are outrageous! I don't mind paying for a good show but to pay for a show and get a trailer.... FUCK THAT! Take the survey, you'll see what I mean!

I couldn't do the survey. How much was it? My Montreal GP tickets were $350 for grandstands

I cant wait either but $300 for lawn is not for me at that price..DAMMIT!!

If that price is for a weekend pass then that's an entirely fair price, especially with how much there is to see/do at an F1 race. It's a little absurd if that price is just for race day, but I'm not about to parade around like I'm not going to jump on that the moment they go on sale.

I hope I didn't read it wrong but, I was under the impression that those are season ticket prices. They are planning on having several races there a year from different series.

Tickets prices for upcoming F1 Race in Canada this year. It will be interesting to see how these compare to the Austin Race next year.

Don't know when there will be an actual race but I just realized I only live 13 miles from where the track is supposed to be.

Hey, thanks.

It would be nice if we could get tickets, discounts, some kind of perk, but we never get anything like that. Every time someone finds out that I work at HKS, they ask me if I can get them tickets to a Cowboy's game. I always chuckle and say "I wish".

You work there? My stepdad started out there.

2012 if IIRC.
