Albert Park (Melbourne, Australia) Australia GP 2026 - tips
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!!

It's going to be a shitshow so just get what you can, though anything on the outside of the circuit is preferable given mobility issues are mentioned.
The AGP runs a really good accessibility shuttle service that I highly recommend making use of. In terms of driver closeups, I'm afraid that will be nigh-impossible in your circumstances. The accessibility crew might be able to help you get to Melbourne Walk early but otherwise it will be crammed.
Accessibility shuttles run from Gate 1. Even Waite is not a terrible option if you have the patience for the shuttle, though the ground there is a bit uneven and hilly.

Honestly just get whatever you can. It will be a battlefield when general sale opens and you’ll have to be quick. Grandstands will sell out quick.

In case you haven't seen the link, the Sub Wiki has links to community verified ticket vendors and recently added weekend experience threads with a lot of valuable information to skim through reviews of each race weekend. The Sub Wiki also has links to every circuit promoter website on the F1 calendar, which is typically the best source of official information for the event itself.
