Nearly all tickets for the Chinese Grand Prix are all sold as 3-day, Friday to Sunday tickets. As F1 grandstand tickets go they are inexpensive, so long as attending all days is what you’re looking for. The circuit doesn’t cater well for fans who like to sample various grandstands – there are no single day options or multi-grandstand packages.

You may find general admission tickets, referred to as ‘grass zones’. These standing sections are in four seperate locations and tickets are sold individually. The viewing areas are what you would expect from general admission but they don’t come with the same level of freedom to move around the circuit that general admission usually offers.
