Tickets

Circuit Map and Ticket Locations

Click on the map for a bigger image to see where all our ticket options are located

General Admission - Sold Out

Add a weekend General Admission ticket for £540pp

An excellent choice as there are many areas in general admission with an elevated views. It's rare to enjoy such fantastic views from a general admission, though this does mean that it's a popular choice among fans. Most of the best spots in general admission are in the first sector of the circuit, but a raised bank next to the penultimate corner affords an elevated view over the end of the lap and pitlane entry.

Turn 9 - Lower - Sold Out

Add a weekend Turn 9 - Lower ticket for £575pp

Quickly becoming a firm favourite among fans, Turn 9 comes with incredible views of Turns 6,7 and 8, as well as the hairpin Turn 11 and the fastest point on the track, the back straight. This is a really engaging position to watch the racing from, due to the sheer expanse of the view in front of you and the variation in the track.

Turn 9 - Upper

Add a weekend Turn 9 - Upper ticket for £695pp

The Upper bleachers at Turn 9 provide an even better view than the lower bleachers from an elevated height. One of the other positives about Turn 9 is that fans here will have the quickest access to the Germania Insurance Super Stage Festival Lawn after the racing has concluded. One of the most popular options at the track.

Turn 4 - Lower - Sold Out

Add a weekend Turn 4 - Lower ticket for £1,149pp

Turn 4 is described by the drivers as the fastest and most exhilarating section of the Circuit of The Americas, and gives you the chance to witness the unique skill of the drivers as they snake from left to right through a series of quick left and right hand turns. The seats are close to the track, in the centre of the action.

Turn 2 - Lower - Sold Out

Add a weekend Turn 2 - Lower ticket for £1,150pp

Turn 2 is the perfect place to see it all. Drivers gain control of their cars as they descend from the iconic Big Red, take a sharp right-hand turn and head straight into the winding esses. It's also an exciting spot at the start of the race when the cars are still very much bunched together.

Turn 2 - Upper - Sold Out

Add a weekend Turn 2 - Upper ticket for £1,215pp

From higher up in Turn 2, some of the more distant reaches of the circuit are visible. The uphill run to turn 1 and the long turn from 17 to 18 that bends around the tower is certain to be engaging. The seating is bleacher-style, and spectators will be able to se the drivers navigate out of Turn 1 towards the S-curves of Turns 3-5.
