US Grand Prix Ticket Prices
Discussion
I confess to not being much of an F1 fan and I've only been mildly interested in the various half-assed attempts to re-introduce/sell F1 to the US market, so it was with only passing curiosity that I read an article in Autoweek entitled "US. GP Announces Ticket Prices".
Cutting to the chase, it appears that the cheapest seat in the main grandstand at Austin TX, is going to be $2500 - $500 for the ticket and $2k for a 'personal seating license'. Additionally, if you care not to sit with the great unwashed, a better seat will be anything from $3000 to $6750.
The least expensive seat, anywhere in the new facility will be $1875. What a bargain!
I have no doubt whatsoever that this pricing strategy will help re-introduce the boring procession, performed by whinging primadonnas to the unsophisticated, but as yet untapped US audience.

Hmm, quick google search found http://www.formulatours.com/GP_PackageType.aspx?F1...
$1600 for hotel and tickets for 3 days, I'd say a company like that will not be the cheapest place to buy tickets either.
I doubt they will price themselves out of the market that badly

Those prices are basically for season tickets. The actual, normal tickets will go on sale this summer, apparently. I'd be very surprised if a decent three day ticket was more than $300, and expect they might be a lot lower, US punters don't like spending a fortune on tickets.Cutting to the chase, it appears that the cheapest seat in the main grandstand at Austin TX, is going to be $2500 - $500 for the ticket and $2k for a 'personal seating license'.

Just quoting Autoweek - these aren't my numbers. Article goes on to say,
"Assuming that general seating in the grandstands is priced comparably to the tickets accompanying the PSLs (Personal Seating License) i.e. from $375, to $1250, COTA (Circuit of The Americas) will easily be among the most expensive tracks on the F1 circuit."
As already stated, I couldn't care less personally, particularly having experienced the three ring circus that was the US Grand Prix at the Brickyard.
