Nice....

Was looking at tickets last week and they were all like 450, this is great.

Those that have gone before, is the GA for the 3 days worth it? Won’t have a seat, but can roam around and crap

Will be my first in-person race since Singapore got cancelled last year

Also interested in GA. Is walking around and sitting in some of the grassy spots not ideal?

To the poster that seemed to split up between GA the first two days and a bleacher ticket for race day, how did you do that? What site?

If I remember right there is a price jump at a certain row.
I don't know how I got them for $289 each, but I got row 9, section 6 at turn 12, but when I went back to the site, they were all at $350 for the 3 day ticket.

May sell my Friday tickets and parking pass though to someone who is looking at GA for Sat/Sun.

You’re wanting to sell a parking pass for Sat/Sun? How much? We are driving there and will have our car so I might be interested.

Are you driving from home? The bus service to and from the track seems to be the fastest options since traffic is crazy leaving.

The bus costs about the same as parking, but the walk is a bit further. Unless you do private parking which is pretty easy to find, but just a long walk.

I was just coming here to sing the praises of GA tickets after seeing all the logjam of traffic for seats. Don't be scared off by GA tickets and doing some walking around the track for a few days. Last year was the highest ever attendance at COTA and there's still tons of room everywhere to plop yourself down on a hillside or portable chair. The venue has a massive amount of restrooms, concessions, drink pavilions, etc. and it's all extremely walkable. I'm doing 3-day GA again this year for sure.

canada canceled

quote:

For the second consecutive year, public health concerns are forcing the cancellation of the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, according to Radio-Canada sources.
The news was first reported by the magazine Pole Position and La Presse.
The formal announcement is expected at 11:30 a.m. during a news conference featuring Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante, federal and provincial officials, as well as the race's promoter.




Turkey to replace. Will be nice to see them on that Turkey track when they can do some real racing.

Sucks for the Canadians but it's a win for everybody else. Turkey is a much better circuit than Gilles Villenueve.

I don't think you can go wrong with GA tickets. You will walk the whole track and see what areas you like.

Unless you plan to get there early and set up shop without moving getting prime GA will be hard on Sunday.

Will still be able to see decent, but 12-15 complex and Turn 1 will be packed.

Sorry about that. I saw headliner and thought they meant he would be the Sunday show.

Yes, driving from home. We have some friends flying in and staying at a hotel across the street from us so the plan was to just use our vehicle to shuttle back/forth. Looks like all the parking passes are sold out so I'd have to go through a scalper site.

Probably will. They aren't as bad as it seems. Honestly, the pay the day of lots aren't that far either, just realize that you will be doing some walking.


This is a place that was doing parking for around $40 I think. It is less than a mile to the front gates. They have electric pedicabs that will ferry you as well for a price.

My wife will 100% want to go, this weekend is going to get expensive


ETA: I was looking in the wrong spot, I got a pass in Lot F for $150. I'm ok with that, I figured I'd be spending atleast $50/day on Uber rides if we went that route.


ETA2: Where's a good spot to get tickets for the concerts?

Never did uber and never stayed for the concerts.

Uber looked like a complete and total shitshow though.
