Getting Hold of F1 Tickets at a Reasonable Price
An article about indulging your enduring passion for Formula 1 racing without spending an absolute fortune in the process.
Some people cannot abide motorsports and find the idea of watching a race on the television bad enough, let alone actually travelling to see the event where it is being held. However, if you love the sights and sounds of the racetrack, the appeal of watching highly tuned cars hurtling round at impossible speeds is not something that will need to be explained to you. The problem that many enthusiasts have is being able to afford to attend as many meetings as they would like, but with a little research and forward thinking, this is not an insurmountable issue.
The location of many Grand Prix races presents the first problem when money is an issue as it will be necessary to pay for plane tickets if you wish to watch the races In places such as Brazil, Singapore and Bahrain without spending a couple of weeks travelling there and back. Flying first or business class may sound appealing but if you want to go to as many meetings as possible then it will probably be out of the question. The F1 tickets themselves can add a fair amount to the total cost of your trip, especially if several members of your family wish to be included. Many fans purchase theirs from the official website but as these are actually sold by organisers and not the racing authority itself, it is not the cheapest places to acquire them.
A thorough online search is likely to turn up alternative suppliers whose prices are somewhat lower and if you are planning on going to every race then shopping around can make a big difference to your total expenditure over the course of a season. It may also be possible to save money by taking advantage of the special deals that are sometimes offered to people who book their tickets well in advance of the meetings that they wish to attend.
No matter how hard you try to cut down on costs, there is no getting away from the fact that if you are determined to see every race then you are going to have to spend a significant sum of money in order to do so. Many people may find it more practical to confine themselves to the European Grand Prix fixtures, which can be reached by road if necessary.
