Some tickets for the race in Madrid are already sold out.

      This weekend in Madrid a ceremony was held to kick off the countdown to the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix, which next year will change venue and be held in the Spanish capital.

      As Marca reports, although there is still more than a week until the official start of presales — scheduled for 23 September — some tickets have already sold out: the cheapest, which started at €194 for all three days of the weekend, and mid-priced ones for grandstands located at favorable points around the circuit.

      This indicates strong interest from the Spanish public and promises commercial success for the project.

      The pricing policy was announced today and a detailed price list published, and it turned out that the cheapest tickets for the grandstands around turns 16 and 17 — where one of the possible braking points will be — are already unavailable.

      At the same time, the most expensive way to watch the race will be from the grandstands to be built on the start-finish straight and around the first two turns — such tickets already cost €799.

      You will pay the same for a ticket to the grandstand at the profiled Monumental corner — a banking with a track incline of 24 degrees. That's steeper than the banking at Zandvoort!

      Although grandstand capacity may be increased later, for the debut race it will be around 110,000 seats — promoters have intentionally limited it to avoid excessive overcrowding. That makes sense, as they need to check that everything is organized correctly from every possible point of view.
