Australian Grand Prix 2027
What tickets at Albert Park cost, what each tier includes, which sell out first, and what to do if yours has. Prices below are the 2026 published figures in Australian dollars — the 2027 prices are set by the Australian Grand Prix Corporation when tickets go on sale.

AU$299–AU$389
~£155–£200 · ~$195–$255
Melbourne GA is genuinely excellent. You can roam the inner circuit, watch from multiple vantage points across the lake, and find uncrowded spots even on race day. For a first-timer, it beats most equivalent grandstand tickets at other circuits.
AU$450–AU$700
~£235–£365 · ~$295–$460
The Turn 1 and Turn 3 grandstands give solid sightlines and overhead cover, which matters in a Melbourne summer. The Jones Grandstand at Turn 9 is the fan favourite — it sees the cars braking hard from the back straight.
AU$900–AU$3,500+
~£470–£1,800+ · ~$590–$2,300+
Paddock Club at Albert Park is one of the more accessible Paddock Club experiences on the calendar. If you are going once and budget is not the constraint, this is the one to do.
Which tiers go first
Paddock Club and hospitality go first, then premium allocated grandstands, then the popular standard stands such as Jones and Turn 1. General admission is the last to sell out at Melbourne and is usually still on sale weeks before the race.
Keep checking the official site
Cancelled orders and unused corporate blocks are released back into the official pool right up to race week. Check every few days from three weeks out before paying resale prices.
GA is a real alternative
If your grandstand has gone, Melbourne GA lets you roam the lake precinct and several viewing areas all weekend — many repeat visitors prefer it.
Official F1 ticketing — the safest option. Buy directly via the Formula 1 website or the Australian Grand Prix Corporation (grandprix.com.au). Avoid third-party resellers unless tickets are genuinely sold out.
Ticketek Australia — authorised reseller for AGPC. Prices are identical to buying direct. App works offline for entry which is useful on race day when networks are congested.
Resale market — if GA or grandstands are sold out, Viagogo and StubHub list resale tickets but at significant markup. Expect to pay 30–80% above face value close to the race. Verify the seller rating and check the refund policy before buying.
GA tickets typically remain available until close to race weekend. Premium grandstands and hospitality packages sell out first, often 4–6 months before the race. Check the official ticketing site for current availability.
Occasionally, but it is not recommended — Melbourne GA has sold out at the gate in recent years. Buy online in advance to guarantee entry and usually get a lower price.
The 3-day pass is significantly better value per day and the experience compounds: Friday is relaxed and crowd-free, Saturday qualifying is the intensity hit, and Sunday race day is the full spectacle. Most fans who do Sunday-only wish they had the full weekend.
Yes. Children under 3 are free at most circuits including Melbourne. Ear protection is essential — bring ear defenders for anyone under 12. Albert Park is one of the more family-friendly circuits with open green space and food vendors throughout.
The Jones Grandstand (Turn 9) is consistently ranked the best — cars brake hard from the back straight and you see them through several corners. Turn 1 is the chaos grandstand: expect incidents there. For atmosphere without a fixed seat, the Prost Terrace gives views across the lake.
