Ticket prices have changed in tandem with Formula 1's transformation from a racing championship to a worldwide entertainment event. Fans now reserve a whole weekend of luxury, access, and convenience rather than just a seat.

F1 ticket packages are one of the fastest-growing ways to attend a race, offering everything from five-star hotels and private transfers to pit lane walks and hospitality lounges. Here's a thorough look at what makes them so popular, what's included, and how Fastway1's partners make it easier than ever to find them.

Why F1 ticket packages are growing in popularity

1. Convenience and all-in-one booking

F1 weekends can be complicated because of the costs of hotels, tickets, transportation, and event planning. Packages save fans time and guarantee a seamless experience from arrival to check-out by combining everything into a single purchase.

2. Exclusive access and behind-the-scenes perks

One of the biggest draws of F1 packages is exclusive access. Many include pit lane walks, paddock tours, and meet-and-greet opportunities with drivers and team personnel — things regular ticket holders never see.

3. Guaranteed premium seats and hospitality

At sold-out circuits like Monaco, Silverstone, or Singapore, premium seats are in high demand. Packages reserve these in advance, often combined with hospitality lounges offering all-day catering and open bars.

4. More than a race — it’s an experience

Modern F1 events are intended to have a festival-like atmosphere. Fans can enjoy a full weekend of motorsport and culture with packages that frequently include admission to after-race concerts, fan zones, and entertainment venues.

What’s included in F1 ticket packages

The contents of each package vary by race and provider, but most share similar inclusions:

  • Premium grandstand or hospitality access — elevated viewing with reserved seats or lounge access.
  • Food and beverages — from gourmet buffets to champagne bars.
  • Pit lane walks & paddock tours — guided access to restricted areas.
  • Grid walk & trophy photo opportunities (in higher tiers).
  • Support series access — watch Formula 2, Formula 3, or Porsche Supercup races.
  • Hotel accommodation — often 4- or 5-star, close to the circuit or city center.
  • Transfers — airport or circuit shuttles for hassle-free transport.
  • Exclusive events — such as Inside F1®, an evening experience featuring guest interviews and behind-the-scenes insights.

These features turn a standard race weekend into a premium, insider-level experience.

The F1 Paddock Club: the ultimate experience

The F1 Paddock Club sits at the top of the hospitality ladder. Located above the pit garages and start-finish line, it offers the most exclusive way to see a Grand Prix:

  • Five-star catering and open bar service
  • Private viewing balcony above the pits
  • VIP access to celebrations and post-race events
  • Behind-the-scenes paddock tours and grid access

While prices are high — often several thousand euros for the weekend — the experience is unmatched in motorsport luxury.

Travel + ticket packages

Not all packages are ultra-exclusive. Many combine grandstand tickets with hotel stays and transfers, giving fans a complete trip without the VIP price tag.

Two Fastway1 partners lead the way here:

P1 Travel

P1 Travel provides weekend ticket packages, hotel stays, circuit transfers, and VIP upgrades across most Formula 1 events. Whether you want a standard 3-day grandstand bundle or a full hospitality experience, their packages cater to all budgets.

Motorsport Tickets

Motorsport Tickets offers ticket + accommodation bundles and optional hospitality upgrades. Their pre-built packages make it easy for fans to pick the right balance between comfort and cost.

Through Fastway1’s interface, users can filter between these partner offers and compare what’s included — from basic weekend combos to top-tier Paddock Club access.

Real-world examples of F1 packages

  • Las Vegas Grand Prix: Packages include Pit Lane Walks, meet-and-greets, exclusive rooftop viewing, and luxury hotel stays.
  • British Grand Prix (Silverstone): Hospitality suites feature shaded terraces, all-day catering, and access to live concerts after the race.
  • Abu Dhabi Grand Prix: Packages include Yas Marina Club access, after-race concerts, and VIP transfers to the circuit.

These examples show how the race weekend has evolved into a three-day luxury event where the on-track action is just one part of the experience.

Pros and cons of buying an F1 ticket package

Pros

Purchasing an F1 ticket package has a number of obvious benefits. Convenience is the main advantage; you don't have to deal with making numerous reservations because everything is included, including hotels, tickets, and circuit transfers.

Additionally, packages ensure access to hospitality and first-class seating, frequently in areas that sell out early. Many fans value the special access to driver appearances, paddock tours, and pit lane walks that aren't offered with regular tickets. The ease and dependability of a single, all-in-one reservation can be crucial for corporate groups or first-time racegoers.

Cons

There are a few disadvantages to take into account, though. Cost is the most evident; complete packages are more costly than purchasing tickets and lodging separately. Because the provider arranges hotels, transfer schedules, and seat assignments in advance, they may also be less flexible.

In certain situations, you might have to pay a deposit up front, and the specifics will be confirmed later. Lastly, it's important to carefully compare before making a reservation because the overall quality and inclusions can differ depending on the event and provider.

How Fastway1 makes finding packages easier

With so many choices, comparing F1 ticket packages can be overwhelming. Fastway1 V3 simplifies the process by letting fans:

To sum up

The rise of F1 ticket packages demonstrates how the sport has evolved into an experience that encompasses more than just racing. Fans can get closer to Formula 1 than ever before with these packages, which offer comfort, convenience, and exclusive access.
