The Las Vegas Grand Prix is hawking what it believes is an affordable three-day general admission ticket deal of $1,350 plus fees and taxes that includes food, water and soda and first-come, first-serve bleacher seating.
Formula 1 organizers released the ticket deal Wednesday.
Here’s the location along the 3.8-mile race route, which includes a healthy chunk of the Strip.
Race organizers are peddling the $1,350 plus fees and taxes ticket deal after many Las Vegas locals complained that the F1 race tickets were much too high for the inaugural race last November.
The grand prix said selling less expensive tickets for the second go-round in November and reducing road and lane closures from nine months before the race last year to three months before the race this year are examples of changes to the event after there was a cascade of inaugural race complaints.
“We’re trying to expand event experiences and broaden our product ladder,” said Lori Nelson-Kraft, a spokesperson for the F1 race event.
