Indian Grand Prix tickets to go on sale this month

Tickets for the Indian Grand Prix in October are likely to go on sale online by the end of March, according to race organizers. The capacity of the purpose-built venue is around 110,000.

"We will open online booking for the event within a month," a spokesman said. "The ticket prices will also be fixed soon. Ticket slabs are likely to ensure entry for students as well as corporate entities, as we want to attract racing enthusiasts from every strata of the society."

The organizers also stressed the need to purchase tickets from authorized sources only following a number of recent events in which fake tickets had flooded the market.

Work on the circuit, which is located at Greater Noida, around 25 miles from the centre of Delhi, is continuing and is reported to be on schedule, with the track expected to open in July. ESPNF1
