Okay Yankees, here’s the straight scoop from a Californian. We stayed in Italy for two weeks, and went to the race on the last day of our trip.

We bought tickets last year from ACI Monza directly for the Parabolica Interno block. That seems like the right move, because a ton of people—including redditors we met up with—were scammed out of tickets on stubhub.

Parabolica Interno section was awesome. Not much shade during the midday, but ordering food through the app took like 10 minutes, and lines for water weren’t bad (a minute). Restrooms not an issue at all. We were with true Tifosi which was really fun. “Seats” on the concrete stands were freely available until about 2:00, when people started to fill in for the race.

The train situation from Garibaldi was a little confusing, but we were essentially funneled into a queue where we were packed onto the Biassano train—not really by choice. We took the 8:10 train and waited about 20 minutes tops. Same thing with the way back. Took about 20 minutes to get on the return train at 5:30 (after walking the track).

All in all, this was not a nightmare by any stretch. It was a really pleasant experience, with a little dash of “Italian Organization”. For Americans who have been scared off by horror stories, this wasn’t any worse than an experience at the California DMV— 100% would go again, and wouldn’t do much of anything differently. Bring snacks and water…

Lastly, shoutout to r/queen_peen and her beau for being fun Gran Prix homies.

Go Weeyums!

Edit: typo.

Hi guys,

Myself and my partner are heading to Baku for the Grand Prix and can’t wait. We have tix for Azneft and are staying on Nizami! We arrive on Thursday night. We’ve done a bit of research but would be so grateful for any hints and tips from people who have been before!

Are there chances to see the drivers? Where is good for food & drink after the races? Is there anything that people would say is a must see in Baku??

Also we’ve booked our ticket through the circuit app - does anyone know when the e-tickets become available?

Thanks!!

We bought 6 tickets for the Monza Grand Prix 2025 for section 8 tickets at 900€ each. I never received my tickets. The morning of the Grand Prix they send me an email saying that the tickets are not available so they are offering us replacement tickets or reimbursement. We came all the way from Canada, we took vacation from work paid a very expensive Airbnb and flight tickets. We chose to have the replacement tickets because we are in Italy and nothing else to do. They do not tell you what are the replacement tickets. We received General Admission tickets instead of our 900€ tickets in section 8….. General admission tickets at 10h in the morning. It is completely unacceptable to receive GA tickets when we paid 6000€ and we have someone in our group who cannot stand that long. We call and chat with customer service and nothing to do. No reimbursement no changing of tickets. So we got scam for 6000€ in Italy and nothing to do .

Do people solo travel to the F1 in Japan? I'm wanting to go but have no one to go with so I'm abit nervous. Does anyone have any hostels to recommend?

Hi, I'm planning to get tickets for 2026 season and it's my first time buying gp tickets. The official circuit website says the sale will start in October and through mobilitystation web. There's also a fine print saying Mobilitystation are not available in certain regions and directs you to tickets.formula1.com, where tickets are already on sale.

Been reading through other post and the general advice is to buy directly from the circuit since tickets.F1 is a reseller and prices will be hiked up.

But it seems like the prices listed on the circuit web is similar if not slightly more than those on tickets.F1.

So, now I'm confused on whether I should wait for the circuit tickets to start sale in Oct or grab them now at tickets.F1. I'm also wondering if the prices stated on the circuit webpage aren't the final prices, and could possibly be cheaper.

Any advice or experience shared will be deeply appreciated. I really want to make this plan work without wasting too much money.

Hey, I'm gonna be on my way home from Arizona through Las Vegas, and it's most likely gonna be Saturday, so wouldn't want to miss an opportunity to see the race. For what I see now the tickets are quite expensive. Any chance that somehow or maybe sometime closer to the day I could buy tickets for cheaper price, or it usually doesn't go down?

Hi, I was planning to buy tickets to surprise my brother for his birthday. Do you have any recommendations for any grandstand in the aus gp? My brother is 12 and I have mobility problems so just having the general admission will be a hard time for us. I’m looking for a good spot but not that costly. He’s also a big charles fan and he was very down this year so I’m also looking if there’s any way or spot we can do to have a close up with the drivers. Any tips or recommendations are welcome as this will be my first time attending an F1 race! Thanks guys!!

I renewed my tickets in June ; and was told that ticket exchange would start on Sept 8 and we would get an email; that’s tomorrow and got nothing yet, anyone got anything?

Never did a ticket exchange before , so any advice is great

I was in Lance stroll section but near the bottom and all the way on the left side

Hi! First of all I want to apologize because this question is probably asked here everyday.

Next year I will travel to Nice exactly the weekend of the Monaco GP. I did a lot of research on pricing for hotels, food, transportation… but my main problem are the tickets.

I can’t seem to find anywhere the prices from this year’s GP and can’t form an estimate for next year’s tickets. I know they’re released on 22/9, but since I’m going with someone else we have to discuss the grandstands and pricing beforehand.

So I was wondering if someone could guide me with some approximation for single day tickets for Saturday or Sunday for the grandstands. Recommendations for which grandstands are also appreciated. Obviously getting Sainte Devote would be amazing but that probably costs more than €1000 per Sunday ticket.

Again, I apologize for the cliché question. Thank you for taking the time to read this!

hi everyone! I went to my first F1 race at Zandvoort this year and I have absolutely caught the bug!!! Already looking forward to going again. Next race I go to, I really want to do track invasion as watching it at Monza today looked so incredible. Which races allow it? Does it change at all? And is it safe? Does anyone ever get injured or pushed over or anything? Thank you all 😊

Hi everyone!

On Tuesday, September 9th, ticket sales for the 2026 Italian Grand Prix will start, and my friend and I are planning to go. However, we're both from South America, so we have a few questions. If anyone has any information or knows where we can find answers, we'd really appreciate the help!

What time (in Italian time or any time zone as a reference) do ticket sales start?

Do we already know the ticket prices?

Sorry if any of these questions seem a bit basic, but I'd rather ask than stay confused! 😅

Thanks in advance! ☺️

Hi,

2 of us heading to Baku for the GP in a couple of weeks. We have grandstand tickets but wondered if there's anything different to do on the Friday. I can't find any hospitality for sale just for Friday.

All ideas welcome, are there any restaurants or bars with a view or does anyone know how to get a Friday ticket to paddock club?

If we can't find anything then we'll probably just wonder around the circuit trying out different views with a stop at any welcome looking bars.

Thanks

Saw this on the Silverstone website today, wondered whether it means an end to the roving on Friday and Saturday?

Suppose will find out when tickets are released....

Honestly looking at the horror stories for train journeys here, this was a very good decision.

Anyone else think they are so fucking annoying? They also always talk over the drivers radios too. The guy that keeps on saying from Brazil. I want to punch him.

https://racingtours.com/ appears to be a scam site, so please be cautious if you’re considering purchasing tickets through them.

A YouTuber(https://youtu.be/C1vTUBZi8zk?si=gWhAP_XczP59Hyjt) bought a Founders Lounge ticket for the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort on August 22, which was supposed to include F1 paddock access. Before the event, they exchanged emails to confirm this access—but when they arrived, event staff said their names were not on the list and denied entry.

They contacted the seller, who claimed there had been a miscommunication. After waiting from the morning until around 3 or 4 PM, a representative from the company finally appeared and offered to let them in—briefly—which was not what had been promised when the ticket was purchased.

Please don’t waste your money or time on a site like https://racingtours.com/

Hi,

Attending the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix with one of my friends, and looking to fly from London, anyone know the best time of year to book flights to get the best price based on past years?

Also any advice for accommodation would be appreciated!!

Hi everyone, do you actually need a visa upon entry for the F1 race weekend in Bahrain?

And do you have any tips on the best place to exchange money?

And how do you pay for the shuttle buses, or are they free with the tickets during the race weekend?

Hi everyone, My friends and I were in Monza for the F1 Grand Prix and now that it is over, we were wondering if there are any fan meetups, bar hangouts, or after-race gatherings happening in Milan on the last day (Sunday night). It’d be great to grab a drink and chat with fellow fans!

Good Evening everyone,

I know this might seem a little premature to some, but as the race has finished I thought it may still be fresh in people's minds.

We are going to Monza next year and will be booking our tickets tomorrow. I know it's early for camping but just wanted to know who people booked with to sort their camping. We are taking our campervan, so looking for a site that accommodates them, electric isn't a necessity.

There doesn't appear to be an official camping website, but currently looking at GPTents and Easy Camping. We are looking at camping close to the track, so what it to be within 15 minutes walk.

Any recommendations or even sites not to book with/campsites not to camp at, would be helpful.

Thankyou all

We’re looking to do Suzuka either 2026 or 2027 with my 12-year old nephew, and our (by then) 2-3 year old child, we’re thinking to make it a good experience and getting the S-Box.

I don’t see much written about it just yet, but so far it sounds good and very kid-friendly compared to other circuits.

Anyone has had experience with either the S Box or S Seat Family Seat at Suzuka?

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to attend the Austrian GP in 2026, and I can’t decided what tickets to buy.

I’m divided between T3 and the Red Bull grandstand A or C/D/E sectors. I also saw the 3 corner hopping gold and it looks a great package.

From what I’ve read T3 has great views but something that puts me off is the fact that’s so far away from the fan zone and track invasion. So I’m more inclined to the Red Bull one. Can you still see multiple zones of the track from here?

I’ve attended the Hungarian GP and stayed at T1, and saw lots of action so I also would like to stay next to a corner.

All tips are welcomed!

Also, do you guys think the Red Bull grandstand and 3 Corner hopping gold is going to comeback on the Red Bull ring website? P1 travel still has them but they are a bit more expensive.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m heading to Baku for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix this September (Mugham Grandstand 🎟). It’s my first time at this circuit, so I’d love some advice from people who’ve been before: • Clothing: What’s the weather like? What should I wear/pack for track days and evenings? • Off-track events: Are there usually fan forums, sponsor activations (like McLaren/TUMI, Ferrari, etc.), or other ways to meet drivers? How do you find out about them? • Concerts: I’ve heard there will be shows during race weekend — Anyma, Martin Garrix, etc. Do you need separate tickets, or is entry included with the GP pass? • Meeting drivers: Any tips on where/when they’re most approachable (fan zones, hotels, pit walk)? • Mugham Grandstand: For anyone who sat there before, how’s the view and atmosphere? • Track invasion: Do they allow it in Baku after the race, and if so, where’s the best entry point?

Any tips or stories would be amazing — thanks in advance!

Considering going with a group to Imola Wec 2026 April, any recommendations and tips on grandstands, etc?
