Going to watch a Formula 1 Grand Prix can cost less than a concert or more than a trip abroad. It depends on where, when and which ticket you choose. The 2026 price guides agree on the general order, but each works with different dates, currencies and ticket types, so they should be taken as guidance and the official price always checked before buying.
