Formula 1 races sell out very quickly: “I’ve never experienced this”

Formula 1 has boomed in popularity in recent years. The royal class is not only very popular in our little country, but interest in the sport is increasing throughout Europe. This is also noticeable in the ticket sales for next season: “This never happened in January”.

Jeroen Huis in ‘t Veld of the globally active ticket platform XS2Event and therefore also supplier of tickets for the GPFans ticket shop speaks into the Algemeen Dagblad of an exceptional situation: ‘The sport has of course also had a mega year, the title fight was great advertisement for Formula 1’.

The title fight, in which Max Verstappen emerged as the winner, has provided an enormous boost. Last year’s intense title fight is the main reason more people want to be present during a race weekend. Also the popularity of the Netflix series ‘Drive To Survive‘ contributes to this.

Austria 90 percent full, just like Hungary

Jeroen Huis in ‘t Veld tells about ticket sales: “Silverstone is already sold out, just like Zandvoort and Miami. Austria is already 90 percent full, just like Hungary. Spa-Francorchamps is well on its way to sell out.” Also in the GPFans ticket shop we notice a run on the cards. However, there are still many places available. In just under two months the season will start in Bahrain and there there are still plenty of tickets available.

Not just the Netherlands

The popularity in the Netherlands is increasing rapidly, but we are not the only ones. ,,The Max effect naturally causes a significant increase from the Netherlands, but this growth comes from all over Europe. People from Scandinavia, England, they come from everywhere,” said Huis in ‘t Veld.

The Austrian Grand Prix has also been characterized in recent years by a huge number of Verstappen fans who make it a party. If you also want to enjoy the big party, there are still tickets available for the race in Spielberg: View the offer of GP Austria here. It came down to the final lap of the final race in Abu Dhabi last year. That could just happen again this year and you can still be there: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
