GPTicketShop is an Austrian-based ticket agency and the official ticket supplier for the Hungarian Grand Prix. They cover every race on the F1 calendar and also sell tickets for other racing categories. Their direct relationship with the Hungaroring makes them particularly strong for Hungarian GP tickets.

Prices are displayed in either EUR or USD depending on the race, which can make comparison slightly less convenient for UK buyers. However, their pricing is competitive and the website provides clear information on what each ticket includes, along with available upgrades and add-ons.

They accept international orders and offer a straightforward booking process. Their package options make them a good choice for fans visiting a circuit for the first time who want the logistics handled in a single booking.

Best for: Package deals (ticket + hotel + car), first-time GP visitors, bundled bookings.

If your preferred tickets are sold out through authorised providers, the secondary market (reseller platforms) is an option — but it comes with higher risk and higher prices. Here is what you need to know before using a reseller.

The Risks

Secondary market platforms allow individuals to sell tickets they have purchased. This means prices are set by the seller, not the circuit, and are almost always above face value — sometimes significantly so for popular races like Monaco, Silverstone and Monza. Counterfeit tickets do exist on less reputable platforms, and some circuits have introduced anti-touting measures that can void resold tickets.

If You Must Use a Reseller

Only use platforms that offer a formal buyer protection guarantee — this means you receive a full refund if the tickets fail to arrive or are not valid for entry. Check that the platform guarantees ticket authenticity and has a clear refund policy before purchasing. Avoid buying from individuals on social media, forums or classified ad sites — there is no protection if the tickets are fake or never delivered.

Our Advice

We always recommend buying from the authorised providers listed above as your first choice. They source tickets directly from circuits and promoters, prices are at or near face value, and delivery is guaranteed. The secondary market should only be a last resort for sold-out events.

The Formula 1 Paddock Club is the pinnacle of the F1 hospitality experience. Located directly above the team garages at every circuit, it offers unrivalled views of the pit lane and start/finish straight, combined with world-class catering, open bars, guided paddock tours, pit lane walks and appearances by current or former F1 drivers.

Paddock Club packages are operated by F1 Experiences (the official hospitality partner of Formula 1) and are available through authorised providers. Expect to pay from around £3,000–£5,000+ per person for a race weekend, depending on the circuit.

Includes: Prime viewing above the garages, gourmet dining, open bars, guided paddock access, pit lane walk, driver appearances, official programme.

The Champions Club is a step below the Paddock Club in terms of exclusivity but still offers an exceptional experience. Typically located trackside at key corners or alongside the main straight, it includes premium viewing, all-day hospitality with gourmet dining and open bars, plus appearances by F1 personalities.

Champions Club availability varies by circuit, with some venues offering it as a standalone package and others bundling it with a grandstand seat. Pricing typically ranges from £1,500–£3,000 per person.

Includes: Trackside viewing, all-day hospitality, gourmet catering, open bars, F1 insider appearances.

Many circuits offer their own branded hospitality packages, separate from the official F1 Experiences programme. These vary enormously by circuit and can include everything from enhanced grandstand seats with lunch and drinks to luxury suites, rooftop terraces and trackside dining.

Some of the most distinctive options include Monaco yacht hospitality in the harbour (from around £2,000 per person), the Silverstone Six package covering six corners with gourmet dining, and the Abu Dhabi Yas Viceroy rooftop experience. These circuit-specific options often represent better value than the Paddock Club while still delivering a premium experience.

Price range: From around £500 per person for enhanced packages to £3,000+ for luxury suites.

Hospitality packages can be booked through the authorised ticket providers listed above, directly through F1 Experiences (the official Formula 1 hospitality partner), or through the circuit's own website. For bespoke corporate packages or large group bookings, it is worth contacting providers directly to discuss tailored options.

Hospitality packages sell out faster than standard tickets at popular races. Monaco, Silverstone and Abu Dhabi hospitality typically sells out 4–6 months before the race. Book early for the best availability and pricing.

When to Buy

Most circuits release tickets 6–9 months before the race. Early-bird pricing offers the best value, with discounts of 10–20% common during the initial sale window. Popular races — Silverstone, Monaco, Monza, Spa, Singapore — sell out well in advance. If a specific grandstand matters to you, do not wait.

Price Trends

F1 ticket prices have risen consistently since the post-COVID boom in demand. General Admission for most European races starts from around £100–£150 for a single day, while three-day weekend GA passes typically cost £200–£350. Grandstand prices vary enormously — from £200 for less popular positions to £800+ for premium main-straight or Turn 1 seats at high-demand races.

Avoid Scams

Only buy from authorised providers or platforms with formal buyer protection. Red flags include sellers requesting bank transfer only, prices that seem too good to be true, no physical address or contact details, and tickets delivered as screenshots or photocopies. If in doubt, check whether the seller is listed on the circuit's official website as an authorised agent.

Compare Before You Buy

Prices for the same grandstand can vary between providers by 10–15%. It is always worth checking all four recommended providers before purchasing. Currency conversion rates and booking fees also differ, so compare the total cost in your preferred currency, not just the headline ticket price.
