F1 Fans Shocked: Current Vegas GP Ticket Costs Over $1,350
Jun.19 - One of the world's most respected specialist sports publications has slammed the new "affordable" price for a ticket to the Las Vegas GP as "madness".
The glitzy and controversial race's CEO Renee Wilm, responding to criticism of the extraordinary prices offered for the inaugural event last year, this week unveiled a "much more affordable" price-point for the limited standing-only general admission area.
"We continuously strive to deliver value and broaden our product ladder to make the Las Vegas GP accessible to more fans, while maintaining exceptional fan experiences," Wilm said.
The three-day price, however, is an astonishing $1,350 - plus taxes and fees.
"No assigned seat for over a thousand euros?" exclaimed Jacopo Moretti, a journalist for Italy's authoritative La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Almost madness, but not in Las Vegas. The good news is that you get free food and drinks," he added.
Moretti also quoted Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc as admitting his recent concerns that Las Vegas has already become an almost exclusive race for the rich.
"I hope that Formula 1 is thinking about this," he said. "There are many expensive events now but true fans of this sport cannot afford to come to the circuit.
"This is a problem that needs to be addressed."

A lot for a single three-day ticket, which I wouldn't be willing to pay for, especially only to see a single corner or something.
I'd rather attend the Italian, Hungarian, or Abu Dhabi GP again than the LV (or Miami) GP for the first time, & as for first-time attending purposes, Japanese, Canadian, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, & Austrian GPs definitely are higher on the list of events for possible future GP visits.
I am highly amused by the statement ""We continuously strive to deliver value and broaden our product ladder to make the Las Vegas GP accessible to more fans, while maintaining exceptional fan experiences," Wilm said."
That is true propaganda in an attempt to camouflage their pure greed and fleece the motor sport fans.
IMO the crap they carry on with in Lost Vegas only degrades the sport of motor racing with all the nonsense they put on to give the so-called "celebrities" an opportunity for exposure! They should drop the "celebrity" fanfare garbage, drop their prices and stick to the proper theme of a Formula One motor race.
Liberty f###### F1 yet again God help Moto gp now they control it. PURE GREED on their part no regard for true race fans.
