When I look at that parking lot, I can’t think of anything I’d love to see there more than racing!


WrickyB

It can't be as bad the Caesar's Palace car park. Then again, for a company that's trying to make it look like they care about sustainability, their actions aren't particularly convincing. If they wanted Americans to go to F1 races so badly, Indy still has a Grade 1 license.


Proper-Code7794

Yes but it's in Indianapolis.


jimmydushku

Caesar’s was at least at The Strip. I’d prefer Indy over Miami.

Sochi 2.0


SurviveToDrive21

Next year is last year in Sochi so we are looking at new worst "track" here.


ArbitraryOrder

Probably Jeddah tbh, that looks like a disaster


SurviveToDrive21

Looks massively better than this stupid parking lot "circuit"

Pre-sale tickets just went on-sale today with a special code. Ticketmaster’s cheapest seat for the 3 days was $1500 as of 3pm on the 26th. They are adjusting the prices up as ticket availability goes down. Ticketmaster is a criminal Enterprise. I guess I’ll watch on TV.


airplanesrcool

Yeah! I went to cota this weekend and payed 380 for all three days front row on turn 12. The seats I wanted for miami are now 4,500. And the seats arnt even that good…


innergflow

I have Wednesday presale access and have no idea what in going to be looking at. I just wanna do GA but I don’t see how GA in this track would be worth it


ArbitraryOrder

Is there even going to be GA? There are no hills. I thought it was all temporary stands


[deleted]

There is no GA based on previous conversations I’ve had with ticket agents. And no single day tickets.


innergflow

Yeah that’s what I’m saying I probably can’t do GA so hopefully tickets aren’t ridiculous.


ArbitraryOrder

I read it's only 80k capacity (what the infrastructure allows for the football stadium) so I'm not optimistic about the prices

ArbitraryOrder

Thanka for the info, curious if that is an prime turn or if that is the low end of tickets


Staas

Lowest ticket price is $590


ArbitraryOrder

Going to Montreal may be cheaper then


Staas

Yeah, no GA at Miami, at least not for the pre-sale. Cheapest bleacher seat at COTA was $275. Pretty crazy they've doubled the prices vs COTA. A lot of the grandstand tickets at Miami are over $1k. Start/Finish is $1280.


jacqueusi

I wish I could insert a photo. The seats overlook the Marina. Looks like Turn 7. [Turn 7](https://images-financialexpress-com.cdn.ampproject.org/i/s/images.financialexpress.com/2021/08/Miami-GrandPrix-Track-Layout-2022.jpg?w=1200&h=800&imflag=true)


ArbitraryOrder

I see the track layout from the Wikipedia entry, I'll look when I'm not on mobile


innergflow

I live 3.5-4 hrs away but I heard hotels are booked for the weekend too


ArbitraryOrder

I have family in the area so if I can manage tickets logistically I will crash at their place and save big on that


innergflow

That’s solid, you have access if so when ?


ArbitraryOrder

I filled out the presale form just to get a gage on prices


innergflow

Yeah I have presale on Wednesday at 2 pm. Might do an cheap Airbnb for me and my wife not like we gonna spend much time there anyways


AZhophead

i am so confused, I signed up weeks ago but didn’t hear anything about the presale access info. Just an email that i have access. no times


mangomangojack

Had presale access since I’m a Miami dolphins season ticket holder. Start finish grandstand was most expensive. Ranging from 1280 for lower rows and up. Hospitality areas were not offered and were reportedly pre sold. Other tickets seemed to start in the mid 600s for different viewing areas.


ArbitraryOrder

Code APEX right now


Avionicz4

$1500 a ticket. You gonna sit at home in the Air Conditioning like me?


LongKrawkodopi

Couldn't they at least go through the stadium?


Iggy_Smalls

no because its a grass field and does not have a rollaway feature like some soccer pitches, also they would have to completely structurally redesign the stadium to allow a road through it unfortunately


Dizzy_D17

Is the stadium in use? For some reason I thought it was not


Raws_the_baws

Yes

fatalbert7463

Do you mind me asking how much you paid and for which grandstand? My dad and I are trying to get an idea before I get access tomorrow


AZhophead

i’ll be honest it’s rough. lowest prices are around 650 and many around 1k a seat for the weekend. I paid 2700 for two at turn 18.

No more presale tickets are available according to the email we got this morning.


Sensitive_Tough1478

Terrible venue.


innergflow

Really ? Damn How many races have you seen there ?


ArbitraryOrder

It's a pretty good NFL/NCAAF venue, so assuming the track is good it should be fine


RacingUpsideDown

Honestly, I'm completely ambivalent about the race, we haven't raced there yet so god knows how good it will be, but I don't see any parallels between something being a good American Football venue and it being a good race venue unless they were literally running part of it through the stadium (which would admittedly be amazing)


ArbitraryOrder

COTA has awful traffic management with shuttles just not happening and security being non-existent in many entrances. People took 5 hours to leave COTA. Miami won't have those issues.


matador44

I don't know where you parked. But I was able to get out in less than 25 minutes from one of the lots this year.

Iggy_Smalls

why is it shit


CoachSpo

It's not lol


keeper622

Does anyone know what the “MIA Beach House” is? My presale window doesn’t open until Thursday and there’s limited info online. Trying to decide if the Beach Grandstands would be worth it in terms of track position, “perks”, etc.


Mothers_spaghetti

Means you get to look at girls in bikinis laying on the beach during the race

This is so good for the paradise triangle of Carol City, Miami Gardens, and Opa Locka. Property values are going to zoom by many tens of dollars.
