Transport options to the Las Vegas Grand Prix

Attending a Formula 1 race is an unforgettable experience. With the roar of the engines, the buzz of the crowd, and the chance to see your favorite drivers up close, having the right seat makes a big difference. But for first-time fans—and even some returning ones—figuring out how seating works can be confusing. Here’s a simple guide on how to find your seat at an F1 race and what to expect when you arrive.
Most Formula 1 tickets are for reserved seats in Grandstands, meaning your ticket has a designated section, row, and seat number. These are assigned by the ticket provider or race promoter when you purchase. Unlike booking a concert ticket, you don’t usually get to pick the exact row or seat number yourself. Instead, you select a Grandstand and category, and then seats are allocated from the available blocks.
If you’re buying through Formula1.com, F1 Experiences or most of Fastway1's partners, the system will automatically assign your seat. You can sometimes add a request for preferences—like being on an aisle or in a specific section—but they aren’t guaranteed. Fans who buy directly from certain circuits may find more flexibility, but in most cases, seats are distributed on a best-available basis.
If you’re attending with others, the easiest way to make sure you sit together is to buy all of your tickets in one single order. When tickets are purchased together, sellers guarantee that they will be allocated side by side. If you book separate orders, there’s no guarantee that your seats will be together, though some providers will try to help if you contact their customer service team.
Keep in mind that mixing ticket types—like combining 3-day passes with single-day tickets in the same stand—often means you won’t be seated together. If your group is large and it’s not possible to find one continuous block, tickets may be split into pairs or rows directly behind each other.
Many fans wonder why they don’t see exact seat numbers right after purchase. This is normal. Tickets are often finalized and dispatched closer to the event, sometimes just a few weeks before. Whether you receive a mobile ticket, print-at-home ticket, or a hard copy depends on the circuit and ticket provider.
When you arrive at the circuit, signs and staff will guide you to your grandstand. From there, rows and seats are marked clearly—similar to a stadium or arena. Give yourself extra time, especially on race day, to navigate security and find your section before the action starts.
Not every ticket includes a reserved seat. General Admission (GA) areas work differently: instead of assigned seating, you’ll have access to open areas around the track. Many fans bring chairs, blankets, or find elevated spots to settle in. If you’re attending with a group in GA, it pays to arrive early to claim a space together, since popular areas can fill up quickly.
Every part of the circuit offers a different experience. Grandstands on the main straight are convenient and give you a clear view of the start, pit stops, and the podium celebrations. Corner grandstands, on the other hand, often provide more wheel-to-wheel racing action and overtaking opportunities. General admission is the most flexible option, letting you move around and see the race from different angles, but with fewer comforts than reserved stands.
When you finally head to the track, bring your ticket (digital or paper) and follow the signs posted around the circuit. Staff and volunteers are stationed throughout to direct fans to the correct gate, section, and row. Most circuits provide maps in advance, either on their websites or through the official Formula 1 app, which makes navigation even easier.
If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to ask for help—staff are used to guiding thousands of fans every day of the weekend.
