- Three-day general admission tickets reduced by US$200 to US$400
- Cheapest grandstand tickets available for US$875 compared to US$1,500 last year
The 2025 Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix has lowered its ticket prices after an underwhelming sophomore year.
This season’s race will see single-day tickets start at US$50 for Thursday, with Friday and Saturday tickets available for US$100 and US$300, respectively. Three-day tickets start at US$400, which is a reduction of US$200 for full weekend access compared to last year.
The General Admission+ tickets that were launched last year in partnership with Heineken and started at US$1,350 have now been reduced to US$800.
The cheapest grandstand ticket was available for US$1,500 last season, but this year the Lewis Hamilton Grandstand is offering access for as low as US$875.
The 2025 race will also see new Turn 3 Grandstand tickets starting at US$1,150, offering a less expensive option compared to the other grandstands from last year.
Organisers have also moved to appease locals, who still see the event as a major inconvenience, by offering 24-hour priority access for Nevada residents.

“Our goal has always been to create a world-class event for every fan, and that commitment is stronger than ever in 2025,” said Emily Prazer, president and chief executive of Las Vegas Grand Prix.
“With two years of feedback in hand from fans and stakeholders, we are dedicated to making the Las Vegas Grand Prix more accessible to a wider audience by expanding affordable ticket options, introducing flexible payment plans and offering the best value to early ticket purchasers – all while ensuring an unforgettable experience at every level.”
Formula One saw its revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 drop to US$1.17 billion, having been at US$1.23 billion for the same period the previous year. This was largely down to a decrease in race promotion revenue as the Las Vegas Grand Prix generated less money from tickets and hospitality.
This year’s race will have the added bonus of the championship finale of F1 Academy, which will become the first junior series to race on the circuit. It means fans attending the 2025 race will be treated to more on-track action.
BlackBook says…
This is a much-needed evolution of the ticketing strategy for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, which has felt more like a hospitality-first event for its first two years.
Outgoing chief executive Renee Wilm previously told BlackBook Motorsport that the race was looking to embrace all fans “from backpackers to billionaires” but it has been far more successful with the latter so far. This shakeup on pricing is an acknowledgement from Formula One that it has missed the mark, even if there were always going to be teething issues in the early years.
Ultimately, this is a one-of-a-kind event on the schedule and some events are going to provide more affordable access than others. Las Vegas is also firmly established as a commercial destination already, with a notable number of brands using the weekend to activate their partnerships with Formula One last year.
Is it the end of the world if the series has a self-indulgent weekend geared towards the commercial side of its business? Traditional fans will argue it goes against the championship’s DNA, but it’s worth remembering that Formula One has always been about the money.
