There is no single box office for Formula 1. Each of the 24 races on the 2027 calendar is sold by its own promoter, on its own timetable, alongside Formula 1's own ticket store, F1 Experiences, a handful of team hospitality programmes and, at some races, American Express or a bank. That is why "how do I get F1 tickets?" has six answers. This guide takes them one at a time, then helps you pick.
Key takeaways
- General sale: the promoter's site or the official F1 store. Compare both; the F1 store has priced above the promoter's list.
- Presales: Amex, the free F1 store waitlist, circuit memberships, previous-buyer renewals and, in Mexico, banks.
- F1 Experiences: Formula 1's official packages, including the Paddock Club, with non-refundable deposits at some races.
- Team hospitality: Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull and Aston Martin take bookings or enquiries on their own sites; five more teams sell through F1 Experiences.
- Resale only through official channels. Suzuka runs one; Silverstone had none for 2027 and cancels tickets sold elsewhere.
- Next dates: Mexico City general sale and Singapore on 11 November, Suzuka on 15 November 2026.
1. General sale: the promoter and the F1 store
Most tickets are sold in a general sale, and there are two official shop windows for every race.
The promoter's own site. Silverstone, Monza, Suzuka, COTA and the rest each run their own ticketing, and they publish the sale date, the presale order and the price list first. Our on-sale dates hub links the official ticket page for all 24 rounds.
The official Formula 1 ticket store. Its Shop Safe notice says: "Genuine tickets and hospitality packages are available from the Formula1.com website, F1® race promoters and/or appointed agents." On 8 November 2026 it showed "Shop now" for 11 races in 2027 (Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Miami, Monaco, Great Britain, Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Italy, Spain and Azerbaijan) and "Join the waitlist" for the other 13.
A waitlist on the F1 store does not mean a race is unsold. Melbourne, Austin and Singapore were all selling through their promoters while the F1 store showed a waitlist. And the two windows do not always charge the same. For 2027, the F1 store listed Monaco's Grandstand B Sunday pass at €1,208 against the Automobile Club de Monaco's €1,050. Check the promoter's price before you pay the F1 store's.
Looking for the lowest price rather than the best seat? Our cheapest F1 tickets 2027 guide ranks the cheapest 1-day and 3-day ticket at every race.
2. Presales
Presales are where most of the good seats go. For 2027 they came from five kinds of seller, and our presales guide quotes each one's rules race by race. The short version:
American Express
Amex sells presale tickets for "select events and select seats" before general sale (Amex US), through third-party sellers, at the seller's normal price. Amex Switzerland says there is no discount and that access "does not guarantee ticket availability". Who qualifies is set race by race: Silverstone opened its 2027 window to "all new and existing American Express Card Members", Madring to any Amex card "issued in Spain or internationally", and Melbourne to any Amex card from any country. The dated 2027 windows are over: Monza's ran from 17 to 24 September 2026 (Monza), and Silverstone's, Madrid's and Melbourne's ended by 4 October. Amex's US page also lists Card Member extras at 2026 races still to run, Las Vegas (19 to 21 November) among them.
The F1 store waitlist
Free, and the easiest one to miss. Every waitlist page carries the same line: "Join the waitlist and get exclusive access to pre-sale tickets before they are released to the public!" (example: Las Vegas). It names no card and no country restriction.
Circuit memberships
Some promoters let their members in before Amex. Silverstone Racing Club members had their own windows on 16 and 17 September 2026, before the Amex ticket presale on 21 September (Silverstone), the Automobile Club de Monaco ran a members' presale on 17 September 2026, and Melbourne's new Albert Park Circuit Club membership went on general sale on 1 October 2026, the day before its Amex window opened (Australian Grand Prix).
Previous-buyer renewals
If you went this year, check whether your seat rolls over. Montreal offered renewals to previous seat holders after the 2026 race. Mexico City's Derecho de Primera Opción gives early purchase access for the 2026, 2027 and 2028 editions.
Bank presales
At the Mexican Grand Prix the presales run through banks rather than Amex. For 2027 the promoter set a Banamex presale and a Banorte early sale on 9 and 10 November 2026, from 10am and only on Ticketmaster, before general sale on 11 November (announcement). São Paulo's 2026 sale also opened with a Porto Bank cardholder presale, followed by Amex; see the São Paulo guide.
3. F1 Experiences and the Paddock Club
F1 Experiences is Formula 1's official ticket-and-travel package seller. It sells grandstand packages with extras, its own Champions Club hospitality, the F1 Garage and the Paddock Club, whose sample inclusions are a suite with chef-prepared food and open bars, daily pit lane walks, insider appearances and access to the F1 Paddock.
For several 2027 races it runs a Deposit Programme for priority access to its packages. At Las Vegas a deposit is US$500 for a Fan Experience package, US$1,000 for hospitality and US$2,000 for the Paddock Club, per person and non-refundable, and it counts towards a package price that is not yet confirmed.
Paddock Club prices differ hugely by race. The 2027 figures we found: $5,500 for a weekend at Spa, ¥1,200,000 per person for three days at Suzuka, and from $16,500 for a three-day Casa Tua Trackside Club ticket at Miami. The circuits sell their own hospitality too, often for much less. Our hospitality guide explains what each tier includes and how a pit lane walk differs from paddock access.
4. Team hospitality and guest programmes
Can you get VIP tickets through a team's own website? For four teams, yes. For five more, the team's hospitality is sold through F1 Experiences instead. We checked all eleven 2026 teams' own sites and F1 Experiences on 8 November 2026, and a team is listed below only where one of those pages shows a public way to buy or enquire.
Booked or requested on the team's own site
| Team | What the team's page offers | How you get in |
|---|---|---|
| Ferrari | Ferrari Racing Hospitality, a "VIP Hospitality package" with a gourmet buffet lunch, open bar with Champagne, live driver interviews, a pit lane walk and a Ferrari pits tour, plus a 2026 business brochure | A "Buy tickets! Click here" button to the team's ticket shop, run by GPT Worldwide, and FerrariF1Club@ferrari.com for further details |
| Mercedes | Club hospitality in "purpose-built hospitality spaces" at Miami, Silverstone, Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi | The Las Vegas Club page says 2026 tickets are available through a "Book tickets here" button that leads to a third-party ticketing shop, and gives hospitality@mercedesamgf1.com for questions |
| Red Bull | Trackside Hospitality in the Red Bull Energy Lounge, with a 2026 brochure to download | An enquiry form on the contact page: "Simply fill in the form below or enquire directly and we'll respond to your query within one working day" |
| Aston Martin | A Grand Prix Hospitality page, "Join us at the track" | A hospitality waiting-list form (name, phone, email, number of tickets). On 8 November 2026 its race question still listed the 2024 calendar, so treat it as a way to register interest |
Sold through F1 Experiences
Each of these is a team page on F1 Experiences offering packages "at select Grands Prix™", in a Paddock Club suite above the garages or at a corner:
- McLaren: McLaren Mastercard Paddock Club packages, with a garage tour, appearances from team personnel including Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, a daily pit lane walk and a gift bag. McLaren publishes guest terms for Paddock Club ticket holders it hosts, including a smart casual dress code.
- Red Bull: team packages in the Paddock Club or a team venue "such as Red Bull Pit Lane or Red Bull Pole Position", with a garage tour.
- Alpine: BWT Alpine Paddock Club packages, with a guided paddock tour. The page says the garage tour "is subject to availability but is not guaranteed".
- Haas: TGR Haas F1 Team hospitality in a team suite, with a garage tour and team appearances.
- Audi: Audi Revolut F1 Team Paddock Club packages, with a garage tour. Separately, Audi named World of Hyatt its official hospitality partner in January 2026, promising Hyatt members "curated Formula 1 experiences" at selected races.
- Cadillac: Cadillac Formula 1 Team Paddock Club packages, with a garage tour led by a team member.
At the factory, not the track
We found no trackside hospitality page on the Williams site. The team sells a Race Day Experience at its Experience Centre in Grove, at £250 per person for the 2026 season, and for the 2026 United States Grand Prix it promoted a Turn 4 grandstand package with a team cap and flag. Red Bull sells race screenings at its Milton Keynes base at £265 plus VAT per person.
We found no public hospitality route on Racing Bulls' own site, so it is not listed.
5. Official resale and ticket exchanges
If you missed the sale, or bought and cannot go, use the circuit's own resale where one exists:
- Suzuka: an official resale on MobilityStation. Unused e-tickets from the general sale can be listed within their validity period, except for some seats (Suzuka FAQ).
- Melbourne: the promoter's authorised resellers page lists Ticketmaster as its "Ticket Only Reseller", and notes that under Victoria's Major Events Act 2009, reselling above 10% over face value is an offence unless the organiser authorises it in writing.
- Spa: in June 2024 the promoter announced a resale partnership with Ticketswap, a separate platform rather than the circuit's own. Check whether it covers 2027 before you rely on it.
- Silverstone: the 2027 terms say: "As of July 2026, We do not have a ticket resale platform for 2027", and that without one, tickets may not be resold.
6. Unofficial resellers: what the circuits say
The circuits are blunt about tickets bought outside official channels:
- Silverstone's terms say that if a buyer's tickets are found on unauthorised sites, "all the Ticket Purchaser's tickets will be cancelled". A ticket bought from an unauthorised seller, or resold or transferred for profit without authority, becomes void, and its holder may be refused entry or ejected (terms).
- Suzuka says tickets obtained outside official sales channels may be invalidated without notice and refused entry on the day (FAQ).
- Melbourne's promoter says "Purchasing from an unauthorised seller can result in denied entry" (authorised resellers).
- Silverstone's scam advice lists the warning signs: prices well above face value, tickets listed before official sales begin, sellers who cannot confirm seat details, and requests to collect tickets away from the venue.
- Formula 1's Shop Safe notice asks buyers to watch for "fraudulent websites, suspicious emails, SMS and social media messages".
If a third party is selling, check that the promoter lists it as authorised before you pay. Silverstone and Melbourne both publish that list.
Which route fits you
- You want a grandstand or general admission seat at a fair price: join the free F1 store waitlist for the race, sign up to the promoter's newsletter, and buy on the promoter's site the day general sale opens.
- The race sells out fast: get into a presale. São Paulo's promoter said its 2026 tickets sold out in eight minutes (São Paulo guide), and Mexico City sold out all three 2026 sale phases within five days (Mexico City guide). That means an Amex card where the promoter accepts any card, a circuit membership, or the bank card the promoter names.
- You went in 2026: check for a renewal or first-option right on your seat before anything else.
- You want the paddock, the garages or a driver appearance: F1 Experiences, either the Paddock Club or a team suite. A deposit makes sense only if you already want one of its packages.
- You support one team: start with that team's own page if it is Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull or Aston Martin, and with its F1 Experiences page otherwise.
- You want good food and a good view, not the pit lane: the circuit's own hospitality, which our hospitality guide prices race by race.
- The race is sold out: official resale where the circuit runs one, then the F1 store and F1 Experiences for any remaining stock.
Our take: the waitlist and the newsletter cost nothing, so do both for every race you are even considering, then decide which paid route is worth it once the dates are out.
Sale dates coming up
As of 8 November 2026:
| Date | What happens |
|---|---|
| 9 and 10 November 2026, from 10am Mexico City time | Mexico City: Preventa Banamex and Venta Anticipada Banorte, Ticketmaster only (announcement) |
| 11 November 2026, 10am | Mexico City: general sale, up to eight tickets per transaction |
| 11 November 2026, 10am Singapore time | Singapore's regular sale opens (grandstands page) |
| 15 November 2026, 11:00 Japan time | Suzuka opens every seat type at once on MobilityStation (sales guide) |
| Until 16 November 2026 | Baku's 20% early-bird discount (Baku City Circuit) |
| Not announced | Shanghai, Istanbul, São Paulo, Las Vegas, Lusail, Abu Dhabi |
| Postponed | Montreal's general sale, with no new date (Grand Prix du Canada) |
Mexico City followed last year's timing: it announced the 2027 sale on 3 November 2026, two days after this year's race, after a DPO window for 2026 first-option holders on 5 and 6 November. São Paulo is the one to watch next. Its 2026 presales opened the Monday after the 2025 race, and this year's race ran on 6 to 8 November.
Every race guide
Each guide covers that race's sale status, presales, prices, hospitality and getting to the circuit:
- March and April: Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Japan, China, Miami
- May to July: Canada, Monaco, Portugal, Great Britain, Austria, Belgium, Hungary
- September and October: Italy, Spain, Azerbaijan, Türkiye, Singapore, United States, Mexico City
- November and December: São Paulo, Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi
Picking a race around a driver? Our fan pages pick out each one's home round: Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Lando Norris at Silverstone, Charles Leclerc at Monaco, Kimi Antonelli at Monza, Oscar Piastri at Melbourne, and Max Verstappen, whose nearest round is Spa.
Once you have the ticket: data at the circuit
A race weekend leans on your phone. Suzuka issues e-tickets on MobilityStation when you pay by card (Suzuka FAQ), Mexico City's are SafeTix digital tickets in the México GP account, and on the day you will want maps for the shuttle, live timing in the grandstand and messages to find your group after the flag. Our take: sort data before you fly, not at the circuit gate.
Our race connectivity guides cover signal at the circuit and the routes in, for example Silverstone, Monza, Singapore, Austin, Mexico City and Las Vegas, with the rest in our season guide. For the plan itself:
- The European rounds: one Europe eSIM covers 33 countries, including the UK, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Hungary, Austria, Portugal and Türkiye. Monaco and Azerbaijan are not in it: buy a Monaco eSIM or an Azerbaijan eSIM for those weekends.
- The Americas: a USA eSIM for Miami, Austin and Las Vegas, with Americas plans that add Canada and Mexico on one eSIM; or a Canada, Mexico or Brazil eSIM for one race.
- Asia-Pacific and the Middle East: Japan, China, Australia, Singapore, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE.

Methodology
How we did this comparison
Every route here is described from the seller's own page: Formula 1, the promoter, American Express, F1 Experiences or the team. Team hospitality was checked on each of the eleven 2026 teams' own sites and on F1 Experiences on 8 November 2026, and a team appears only where one of those pages shows a public way to buy or enquire. The F1 store statuses were read on 8 November 2026; promoter sale statuses and presale rules come from our race guides, which cite them in full. We do not link resale sites.
