As the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas gears up for action, ticket prices have taken a surprising turn, dropping significantly. With the event just a day away, prices have plummeted by 23% since last week for the main event on Saturday night, now averaging around $800 according to TickPick, a stark contrast to the $1,645 price tag a month ago.
This decrease isn’t limited to the main race; practice and qualifying session tickets have also seen a substantial drop, declining by up to 70% from last month. Factors contributing to this downturn include Max Verstappen’s early championship win in Qatar, cooling enthusiasm amongst fans. Additionally, colder weather and high travel costs have dampened the appeal of the Las Vegas race.
Despite the price drop, TickPick CEO Brett Goldberg remains optimistic about the event’s attendance and overall experience. He anticipates that ticket pricing will stabilize in the future, reflecting the growing domestic popularity of Formula 1 and the unique allure of Las Vegas.
