Hi, what do you want to know?
As far as I know, the closest you are going to get to general admission is Rocher or a tiny stand by Tabac (which I don't think is available anymore)
OR
Contact Stars N Bars and get a ticket to get there in the morning and watch it from there!
It's got great atmosphere because it's almost within the paddock, all the drivers walk past the outside tables and I've seen people like Mick Doohan, Keke Rosberg and Mika Hakkinen just mooching and having a drink there!
You won't see any racing other than on TV but it's as close as you will get for cheap and still be there!
Tickets aren't available until the last 2 weeks before the race and you have to collect in person during the week before the race!

I know of someone that paid £100k for a Monaco experience with a meet & greet with JB and grid passes.
(Private jet and AirMonaco heli transfer was also included)
Plenty of people out there that have got the money to spend it on these special packages.
Most the drivers have their own "event" companies that put together these things.
Easy money for them.
don't know the person - i just know the event company Halcyon Events, if anyone has a spare £100k to burn
Promo vid - I think it was £10k per person to be on the boat for the weekend (not accommodation)

Silverstone is a mere £2.5K each

Least favourite race of the year, I wouldn't pay £21 to go and see it.
It`s different when you are there, it`s not just about the racing, there is a great atmosphere to absorb, like Silverstone, Monza and Spa have of their own!Access used to be amazing. But it's still the one race I'd go over any other. But it's not really about those 90mins of the race, it's about the whole 4 days of being there. ( of course it helps to have a large wallet !!)

It's a serious spectacle (SPectacle)
Will be there again this year, if you combine it with driving south through the Alps to get there the whole trip is fantastic!
As Woof said, it's not just about the 90mins!
