Ticket prices have now been released for the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix, with promoter sales beginning on October 13 (note that partners such as our supplier, Grand Prix Tickets, are already on sale). Prices remain competitive for the Japanese Grand Prix, especially when expressed in USD (the yen remains weak against major international currencies), though most grandstand ticket prices have increased slightly from 2025 to 2026. Scroll down for the full 2026 Japanese Grand Prix price list.

Japan is a popular and relatively expensive tourist destination, especially for flights and accommodation during the ‘cherry blossom’ season when the Japanese Grand Prix is now held. On the positive side, the Japanese yen has fallen against most major currencies in recent years (especially the US dollar). Suzuka tickets are also good value. Japan sells the fourth cheapest tickets of the 2025 season, according to our ranking of 2025 F1 ticket prices. Japan is also one of the most affordable races of the year for locals to attend. Compare the cost of an F1 weekend across the 2025 F1 calendar here.
