Abu Dhabi F1 tickets for the race weekend of 3 to 6 December 2026 start at AED 1,895 for a four-day grandstand seat, and at AED 745 for a one-day roaming ticket, on the official ticket page.
On 28 October 2026 we went through that page, the official FAQ and the list of authorised sellers. We did not buy a ticket. Every price below is a “from” price, so checkout totals can differ.
Rules matter as much as price. Entry is by app only, resale is banned and refunds apply only if the race is cancelled.
Abu Dhabi F1 tickets at a glance
| Ticket type | Days | From (AED) | Examples on the official page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grandstand | Thursday to Sunday | 1,895 to 3,695 | North Straight, Marina, South, West Club |
| Premium | Thursday to Sunday | 2,995 to 5,995 | The House, Horizon Terrace, West Yas Suite, 16/360 |
| Premium hospitality | Thursday to Sunday | 7,995 to 13,995 | Horizon Terrace Premium, Shams Suite, Deck at Two |
| General admission (roaming) | One day | 745 to 2,645 | Oasis areas, live entertainment, Golden Circle options |
| Upgrades and concerts | One day | 295 to 2,295 | Andrea Bocelli, Golden Circle upgrades |
Each range runs from the cheapest “from” price in that group to the highest one we saw. The official page gives no seat view for roaming tickets, so ask the seller before assuming one.
Prices and stock can change before December.
What the four-day seats cost
At AED 1,895, the North Straight Grandstand is the cheapest four-day seat on the official page. Marina starts at AED 2,395 and South at AED 2,495. West Club, which adds club access, starts at AED 3,695.
Premium tickets begin with The House at AED 2,995 and Horizon Terrace at AED 3,995. West Yas Suite starts at AED 4,695, and the 16/360 area, which lists live DJ sets, at AED 5,995.
Hospitality starts at AED 7,995 for Horizon Terrace Premium. Shams Suite starts at AED 11,295, Sunset Lounge Premium at AED 11,995, Deck at Nine at AED 13,595 and Deck at Two at AED 13,995. The hospitality listings name gourmet dining, fanzone and concert access.
The official page lists no Main Grandstand, West Grandstand or Abu Dhabi Hill ticket on 28 October. That alone does not mean a sell-out. The Formula 1 ticket shop marked Main, South and West Straight grandstands and Abu Dhabi Hill as sold out that day, and listed West Grandstand from €1,320.71.
Neither site matches the other. South Grandstand is still on the official page but sold out at the Formula 1 shop. Compare both before deciding a category has gone.
GDN Online reported in May that a three-day Abu Dhabi Hill ticket from AED 995 was new for 2026. We found no Hill ticket for sale on either site on 28 October.
Which ticket suits which fan
Pick by what you want to be near. A four-day seat fits fans for whom the racing is the point. A one-day roaming ticket fits those who come for a concert, and hospitality fits those who put food and shade ahead of cost.
- Racing first: the North Straight, Marina and South grandstands start at AED 1,895, 2,395 and 2,495. The page does not describe what each stand sees, so go through each description before paying.
- Concert first: a one-day roaming ticket starts at AED 745 for Thursday or Friday. Headline acts sell Golden Circle upgrades separately.
- Comfort and a group: the Premium tiers start at AED 2,995 for The House, with Oasis areas and live entertainment in the listing.
- With children: those aged 2 and under enter free, and anyone aged 3 and over needs a ticket.
Official wording for roaming tickets is Oasis areas, live entertainment and roaming access. It does not mention a seat, so treat it as a festival pass until the seller says otherwise.
Concerts night by night
Every four-day ticket on the page lists after-race concerts, and the headline acts sell Golden Circle upgrades. Acts are named by night on the official page.
| Night | Acts named on the official page | From (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Wednesday 2 December | Andrea Bocelli, Yasalam Classics, seated | 295 for the ticket |
| Thursday 3 December | Zara Larsson and Lewis Capaldi | 695 for Golden Circle |
| Friday 4 December | Jennifer Lopez and Alex Warren; Anyma | 995 for Golden Circle; 15,000 for VIP tables |
| Saturday 5 December | Imagine Dragons | 2,295 for Golden Circle |
| Sunday 6 December | The Chainsmokers and The Script | 395 for Golden Circle |
Wednesday 2 December is also UAE National Day, which our National Day guide covers. Bocelli’s concert is a separate ticket and is not part of the four-day race passes.
The rules that catch Abu Dhabi F1 ticket buyers out
Race-day entry hangs on rules in the official FAQ. These are the ones we would read before paying.
- Show it in the app: tickets and upgrades must be shown in the Abu Dhabi GP app, and screenshots or printouts are not accepted.
- Allow 24 hours: tickets appear under My Tickets in the app a day after purchase.
- Use one email: for tickets bought on yasmarinacircuit.com, the circuit says to create a ticketmaster.ae account before you create the app account.
- No resale: only approved sellers may resell. You may gift a ticket through the app, and the transfer option opens closer to the event.
- No gate sales: tickets and Golden Circle upgrades are not sold on site.
- Refunds: they are only possible if the event is cancelled.
- Age limits: some venues admit only guests over 12 or over 21, and proof of age may be asked at entry.
Where to buy, and which sellers count
Buy from abudhabigp.com, ticketmaster.ae, an authorised seller, by phone on 800-YAS (927) or +971 2 497 9000, or at the sales outlets in Yas Mall and Yas Central. Tickets from other sources may not be accepted at the gate.
The authorised seller list names 26 firms. They include Formula1.com, Etihad Holidays, Experience Hub on yasisland.ae, DNATA and Virgin Megastores. For doubts, the circuit gives info@abudhabigp.com as its contact.
Resale is where buyers get hurt. One r/dubaiclassifieds poster in September 2026 described the market this way.
“It is because of scalpers that general admission tickets spiked to 2800dhs each. Now they go for 699… I would advise anyone to go and PriceCheck before purchasing these.”
– r/dubaiclassifieds, September 2026 (28 upvotes)
Those are one poster’s figures and we could not verify them. They fit the FAQ’s warning, though: a ticket from an unauthorised source may not be accepted for entry.
Gulf News reported in June that Yas Island hotel packages started at Dh4,091 for three nights, with breakfast, a four-day Abu Dhabi Hill ticket and one-day access to a Yas Island attraction such as teamLab Phenomena. We could not confirm the package is still on sale. Our Yas Island guide lists what else is there.
Is the Abu Dhabi race still on?
Yes, as far as F1 and the organisers have said. F1’s chief executive confirmed the calendar on 23 August, and the official page still lists 3 to 6 December. The official refund rule applies only if the event is cancelled.
Khaleej Times quoted Stefano Domenicali on 23 August: “The calendar is confirmed. There are still a few tickets to be sold in Abu Dhabi”. The same report mentioned weeks of uncertainty amid the regional conflict. On 29 July, F1 had said it was monitoring the situation, with a European finale mentioned as a fallback.
On 15 October the same paper quoted Ethara chief executive Saif Al Noaimi saying sales were ahead of the same point last year, with international sales picking up. Organisers gave no ticket numbers. The 2025 race drew a record 339,000 fans, according to Ethara.
A gap remains for buyers who worry about a change of plan. One r/GrandPrixTravel poster wrote this in 2026.
“Held on hoping for a cancellation but not likely now. What’s the best way to try to sell them on? Ticketmaster hasn’t opened transfer yet either. So not sure what to do.”
– r/GrandPrixTravel, 2026 (5 upvotes)
We do not know how that ended. Gifting through the app, once transfers open, is the FAQ’s answer.
Questions buyers ask
How much are Abu Dhabi F1 tickets in 2026?

No. The official FAQ says tickets and Golden Circle upgrades are not sold on site, only through abudhabigp.com or ticketmaster.ae, subject to availability.

Refunds are only possible if the event is cancelled. If you cannot attend, the FAQ says to gift the ticket to someone else through the app.
Is the Abu Dhabi Hill ticket sold out?
On 28 October 2026 the Formula 1 ticket shop marked Abu Dhabi Hill sold out, and the official page listed no Hill ticket. We do not know whether more will be released.
