F1: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix tickets sell out in record time

Yas Marina Circuit has officially sold out all Grandstand seats and Hospitality Packages for this year’s Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix 2022, with unprecedented global interest in the sport following last year’s nail-biting finale, and demand from fans seeking new experiences across the weekend driving record-breaking sales.

Yas Marina Circuit’s all-new stand added along the North Straight and brand-new hospitality options, including Deck at Nine, were created to accommodate the increased demand for race weekend tickets, and also sold out in record time – two months before the teams line up on the grid.

Last year Race Director Michael Masi gave the fans a race to the checkered flag, instead of a boring parade behind the pace car. For that the Hamilton fans wanted him dead. The blame really lies with Mercedes for not pitting Hamilton for fresh rubber like Red Bull did for Verstappen.

On the announcement of all Grandstand and Hospitality Packages being fully sold out, Saif Al Noaimi, CEO of Abu Dhabi Motorsports Management, said: “I am delighted to share that all tickets for this year’s Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix have officially sold out, in the fastest ever time since our inaugural event in 2009.

“We are now switching our focus to delivering yet another world-class entertainment weekend for the record number of fans who will travel from around the world to Yas Island in November, with more exciting announcements coming soon.

“With global fans looking to experience the magic of Abu Dhabi and ‘Go Unreal’ in 2022, we are on course for what promises to be an incredible four-day Yas Island weekend experience – from music superstars to fine dining options and all-new hospitality packages. For those unlucky not to have secured their seat at this year’s race, we are already planning for tickets for next year’s race to go on sale earlier than ever before to ensure our fans can book early and ensure they get to enjoy the magic of an Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend.”
