A Grand Prix has five levels of access: General Admission with no fixed seat, a reserved grandstand with a row and a number, the circuit's own lounges and terraces with food and drinks, the Champions Club with a weekend programme, and the Paddock Club above the garages. A grandstand is chosen for a part of the track: the pit straight for the start and pit stops, the corners for overtaking, and at corners the middle and upper rows above the safety fencing are better.
How to choose a seatAt every Grand Prix access works as a ladder, and each step differs not only in price but in how the day goes. At the bottom is General Admission: entry to the circuit with no fixed seat. Above it is a reserved grandstand seat with a row and a number. Next come the circuit's own lounges and terraces, where food and drinks are added to the seat. Higher still is the Champions Club by F1 Experiences, with a weekend programme. At the top is the Paddock Club above the team garages, which has a guide of its own.
Below we cover everything under the Paddock Club: where to sit, which row to take and what is worth paying extra for. The short answer: if the race is what matters, choose a grandstand for a specific part of the track; if the whole day with guests matters, choose a format with a lounge.
General Admission gives access to the open areas along the track: grass banks, mounds and spots by the fencing. There is no fixed seat; you choose your spot and can move during the day, and the good positions at slow corners are taken from early morning. Big screens usually face these areas, and without them the race cannot be followed from one section of track.
It is the most affordable format and a good choice for those who come for the atmosphere and are ready to spend the day on their feet. At street circuits such as Monaco, Baku, Singapore and Las Vegas there are few or no open areas: almost the whole perimeter is taken by temporary grandstands, and General Admission there is either limited or not sold.
A grandstand ticket gives a fixed seat with a row and a number for every day of the weekend. Choosing a grandstand means choosing a part of the track. The main grandstand opposite the pits shows the start, the pit stops, the finish and the podium, which is why it sells out first at every circuit. Grandstands at the first corner give you the first-lap battle, when twenty cars go into one bend. Grandstands at hairpins and chicanes show braking and overtaking in the slow sections, where the cars are in view the longest.
The row matters more than it seems. In the lower rows you are closest to the cars, but you watch through the safety fencing and see a short stretch of track. The upper rows lift you above the fencing and open up more corners, and the screens are easier to see. So at corner grandstands we recommend middle and upper rows, while on the pit straight you can go lower for the pit lane. The second detail is a roof: at hot rounds and in rain a covered grandstand changes the whole day, and sitting in the sun from morning to evening without one is hard.
The next step is the circuit's own hospitality. The Grand Prix promoter sells terraces, lounges and suites next to the grandstands at its venue: a seat with a view of the track plus food and drinks, a separate area, toilets without queues and shelter from the sun. The line-up and names differ at each circuit; in Abu Dhabi, for example, it is Terrace 360 and the lounges around Yas Marina.
The difference from a grandstand is not the view but the day. In a grandstand you arrive for the session and stay in your seat; in a lounge you can escape the heat between practice sessions, have lunch and come back for the start. For a weekend with guests or partners, this is often the deciding argument.
The Champions Club is hospitality by F1 Experiences, the company that creates programmes for Grand Prix guests. Guests get a reserved seat in a grandstand or a trackside suite and a lounge with food and drinks all day. Depending on the round, the programme adds a grid walk with a photo with the championship trophy, a guided paddock tour and appearances by legends, team executives and other Formula 1 guests. It is most often sold for three days.
The Champions Club differs from the Paddock Club in viewpoint and scale. The Paddock Club sits above the team garages, with a terrace over the pit lane and drivers in the club; the Champions Club looks at the track from a grandstand or a suite. It is a sensible choice when you want a programme and comfort all weekend and the view from the team side is not the priority.
A standard ticket covers three days: Friday with practice, Saturday with qualifying and Sunday with the race. Single-day Sunday tickets exist at most rounds but sell out first, so at popular Grands Prix a three-day pass is often the only option even for those coming just for the race. On a sprint weekend Saturday is busier, with the sprint and qualifying on the same day. At rounds with a Saturday race, as in Las Vegas, the main day shifts.

At corners, the middle and upper rows: they lift you above the safety fencing and open up more of the track. Lower rows are closer to the cars, but you watch through the fencing and see a shorter stretch. On the pit straight you can go lower for the pit lane.
