How go to get tickets for Monza GP without being fleeced?

[Dr Murdoch]

I've only been to a few GPs in Europe (Hungary, Spa and Silverstone), and I'm looking to take my wife and two teenage kids to the 2026 Italian GP, and stop at Lake Garda on the run up to it.

What's to most cost effective way of getting tickets? Ideally for T1/T2, unless those that have been suggest otherwise (quite like the idea of getting to the podium after the race)? Just looked at this years GP on the official website and it appear sold out, and 3rd party outlets want £2.5k for 4 seats on the Sunday only

Buy from the official f1 ticket website as soon as they are released?

Can probably get GA tickets from a tout on the day but it s a risk.

F1 tickets website only has hospitality tickets available for Sunday this year.

Official circuit ticket site is the same. Friday and Saturday GA available cheap, but Sunday sold out.

So the official options are to either get fleeced on the secondary market, or to buy tickets for 2026 when they go on sale.

You could try and post a request in the “F1 tickets for sale or wanted” thread, see if anyone forum members bought tickets but can t make it.

Alternatively, buy Fri and Sat tickets, and turn up Sunday to see if you can find a spare one somewhere.

Or watch Sunday from a local bar with some very loud Italian fans.

Alternatively see if any of the teams (eg Williams) have any spaces for their HQ race events.

Oh just to add (I’ve been twice) it isn’t the best track as a spectator. Great ambience, but average viewing.

We say in a stand by the last corner a few years ago. Access to the podium after it finished was pretty easy.

Thanks All.

What are the likely prices to be (2026) for a grand stand ticket at Turn 1 or the Parabolica?

Basically, I have a wife who loves Lake Garda, and two teenagers who like footy and F1, so my plan for 2026 was a 2 week stint at Garda with a trip to Monza and the San Siro.

Spa not an option as there is limited interest for the family post or pre GP, we've done Hungary. I think thats the school holidays covered, which only leaves Monza.

We’ve just got back from Garda, Sirmione is superb for a holiday and less expensive than you’d think.

Don't rule out the companies offereing packages including the F1. I've been twice with my friend and our wives. Stayed in decent hotel in Como, coach transfers to and from circuit each day. Had seats in the stand overlooking 1st chicane first time, next time we tried the start/finish straight which wasn't actually as good.

Our package worked out cheaper than just the race tickets for Silverstone. Como was beautiful, loads of nice bars and restaurants.

We went with MRI a few years ago, don't think they're still going.

Staying in the lakes is a good call - the peace by the lake after the heat and noise of the race is very pleasant. Also you can take the train in which is both cheap and fast.
