I bought in the turn 12 Grandstand. Section T-12-8 Row 25, seats 6-9.
How much were they may I ask? I just saw the twitter message that general admission tickets were 159$ for all 3 days. I won't be going to Austin but am highly looking forward to the NYC/NJ race next year. My wife absolutely loves NYC so it was no problem at all to convince her. Not sure what we'll do about a room yet or anything. She'll want to stay in Times Square, I'll want to sleep in my car and not pay 500 a night. I keep briefing her on how much I "expect" the tickets to cost but having never been to anything like this I have no idea. I figure they'll be comparable to Austin but probably a little more expensive due to the location.
My tickets were $524.00 each.....for all 3 days. I went first class this time because it will be my first Grand Prix ever. If I go back next year I will probably sit on the hills, and walk around.
Perfectionist in the art of the unfinished kit......
I went for the turn 12 tickets also. My experience going to the race at Indy was that on Friday and Saturday was that you could go anywhere, which was great, and the grand stand seat was really for the race on Sunday. This will give me a chance to decide which way to go on tickets in the future. This should be great, Austin is a pretty cool place. I wonder what the support races will be.

Ok thank you. Are those the most expensive grandstand tickets?
I keep telling her it'll probably be in the neighborhood of 5-6 hundred for the race next year so that shes not totally blown away when it happens. I'm hopeful we can use our tax return to fund the whole trip minus souvenirs and her NYC shopping.
Can you just get a grandstand ticket for the race or does it have to be all 3 days? I'm thinking it wouldn't be too bad to roam during practices and support races but during the race I want a nice location.
do you know if the grandstand tickets restrict you to your grandstand area only or can you access the general admission areas as well? by that, i mean if i want to take pictures from the ga burms can i get there without being jacked up by security. turn 12 seems to be the place to be but i really want to be able to walk around as well. i've got a couple of days to make up my mind.
also, i wonder want kind of volunteers they need and what the duty day is like. every venue needs an extra nurse.
I think I already know the answer to this question, but I figured I would ask just in case since Austin will be my first ever F1 race to attend.
Is the starting grid open to regular joe's on race day, or is the grid walk reserved for the "Elite's"?
Having been to Indy quite a few times I can say that the closest you will get to the cars is when they are on the track and you are standing at the fence. The best you can hope for is that they have a open pit during set up on Thursday.
