Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix tickets go on sale

Inaugural event revs up at new Jeddah Corniche Circuit from 3-5 December 2021

Tickets have gone on sale for the inaugural Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, taking place on the new Jeddah Corniche Circuit from 3-5 December 2021.

The Formula 1 race will be the first-ever in Saudi Arabia and will be the penultimate race of the 2021 season.

With the ongoing Covid pandemic in mind, only 40% of available tickets will be released initially. Organisers hope to release further tickets up to full capacity over the coming weeks and months if pandemic-related restrictions continue to ease. According to the organisers, the main priority of the 2021 Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will be the health and safety of all fans, staff, stakeholders and participants, and all decisions relating to further capacity increases will be taken with this in mind.

The 2021 Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is currently offering fans a choice of three three-day tickets – Paddock Club, Premium Hospitality and Grandstand – with prices starting at SR1800 (US$480) for Grandstand packages. Tickets are being sold by the Saudi Automobile & Motorcycle Federation (SAMF).
