The F1 Singapore Grand Prix is back after a two-year pandemic hiatus, and the city is gearing up for the biggest weekend of its social calendar – think parties, fast cars and global music acts converging all in one spot.
Home to the first Grand Prix night race, the country shuts down public roads in the city centre and transforms them into a brightly lit track known as the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Around 268,000 fans attended the 2019 Singapore Grand Prix – the second-highest on record since the 2008 inaugural race, according to organisers. This year’s race, held from September 30 to October 2, is expected to draw a similar turnout, Singapore GP told local news outlet Today.
It’s a big, celebratory event – even non-F1 fans in Lion City will head out to the clubs for a slice of the action – while the rest of us can tune in from afar.
But if you want a first-person view of the tarmac and glamour, get ready to pay up. Here’s how much it’ll cost you to party big during F1 weekend in Singapore.
Race tickets: US$70-USS$7,000
Prices for single-day general admission tickets vary across the weekend.
Ticket prices start at S$98 (US$70) for the practice race on Friday and go as high as S$988 for the race on Sunday. Three-day tickets will set you back as much as S$1,288.
There are also three-day hospitality packages, which include free-flow drinks and access to viewing galleries for prices ranging from S$1,605 to S$9,898.
