A trackside superyacht marina is not the only feature that Abu Dhabi has in common with Monaco. Yas Marina Circuit also sells some of the most expensive tickets on the current F1 calendar. The promoter has also utilized the controversial practice of dynamic pricing for the last few editions of the race. This year’s ticket prices have jumped substantially (sometimes by 100% or more), with little clarity and much confusion about the pricing for different phases of tickets, as well as the pricing for different seats within each grandstand. Starting ticket prices for 2026 are only marginally higher than last year, but very few fans seem to have had the ability to take advantage of the lowest ticket prices. Understandably, this has angered many fans who attend the race each year.

Please note that there is no official price list for the 2026 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Furthermore, no information has been provided by the promoter about the different ‘phases’ of ticket sales, nor the pricing of different seats within each grandstand. As a result, we’ve used current ticket prices for our fan categories above, and the price range (cheapest to most expensive prices for each grandstand) in the ‘pricelist’ table. Note also that not all ticket categories have gone on public sale.

2019 3 day ticket for Abu Dhabi Hill
I’m trying to find some images taken from Abu Dhabi Hill to get an idea of what photo s I can take and lens required
Can you get to other parts of the circuit to have a look around ?
Any advice would be great please
Hi Paul, here are some images. Hill 1, Hill 2, Hill 3. To be honest, the views are not amazing from the Abu Dhabi Hill. Here are some more shots taken from there. Hill 4, Hill 5, Hill 6. You can get to other parts of the circuit, but the only other place where you can actually see the track is from the Marina. There’s a small section there where you can get it no problem, no ticket required. Also go there for dusk, where you can get those iconic images like this, which was actually taken from outside the circuit.
Hi Andrew, I am planning my first trip to a GP in Abu Dhabi for a significant birthday. We will be based in Dubai and I don’t want to buy flights and hotels etc. until I am fairly sure I will get tickets for the Sunday. Can you advise of the likelihood of obtaining Sunday only tickets and can you recommend an outlet to avoid being ripped off? Many Thanks James
Hi James, Sunday-only tickets are not available for the grandstands. The closest to this is weekend tickets for Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are not expected to go on sale until around March. Best place to buy tickets is through the circuit website or through Gootickets, you can find the links and more information on our site. What’s your budget for tickets? Do you want hospitality? I can make some recommendations if you give me more information.
Hi Andrew,
What are the main differences in buying tickets from F1 (F1 Tickets) and Yas Marina Circuit Website.
Thank You
Price! The F1 Tickets are more expensive, as they apply a mark up of about 10%. So better to buy with the circuit direct or our supplier, Gootickets. Tickets won’t be on sale until around April 2020.
Hey Andrew,
prices at formula1 com doesn‘t look so bad at the moment.
Do you know if they will be cheaper when yasmarina will release their tickets?
Thanks!
No, F1 Tickets applies a mark up of around 10% always. So you can buy now from our supplier (and support our site!) or wait until the Yas Marina tickets go on sale.
Thank you :)
Thank You, Andrew.
What all the features I will get If I book the ticket in Yas Marina Circuit.
Planning to Book ticket from Thursday (26th 2020) to Sunday (30th 2020).
Hello, you will get a seat in the grandstand (or access to the Abu Dhabi hill). You also get access to the concerts at Du Arena. The race is on Sunday, November 29 this year.
Hello,
I just received an email on F1 Experiences for a package of tickets + hotel (I didn’t really like their options). I was wondering if just the tickets will go on sale? If so, when will they go on sale? I want to purchase 2 grandstand tickets for my husband and I.
Hi Alia, we are expecting tickets to go on sale quite soon – perhaps this month. We recommend the West Grandstand.
yess I’m was planning on west grandstand. Any particular section you recommend?
Hii,
So I’m trying to book for west grandstand section 10 but I cannot find it. Do you know where I can purchase it?
Hello,
What do you think on the premium seats main grandstand?
I hope I made the right choice.
Hi Jayne, you can’t really go wrong in the Main Grandstand. You have good views of the start, pits, post-race podium ceremony. Plus the F1 Fanzone is behind the Main Grandstand. Enjoy your trip!
Can you buy single tickets? The Yas Circuit website only has tickets with a 2 ticket minimum.
I’m wondering this as well.
Hi
Can you tell me how can i find tickets with budget about 200$ or less?
It is possible?
If you want 3-day tickets, you cannot get them for this price. The cheapest access is on the Abu Dhabi Hill (General Admission), but this is already sold out. You may still get access for one day for about 250 USD I believe.
No I just want to buy ror sunday
Do you have any website I can find the best price?
