I will not be using my tickets this year for the Indy F-1 race. I am looking to sell them for face value (I believe $140 each). Great seats, I can post pictures taken from the seats if there is any interest. |

I guess you mean Formula One Paddock Club passes - they run about $4000. But I really think it is worth it if you love the sport. Ferrari serves a wonderful lunch and dinner - the drivers come up and speak with you as well as some key execs like Jean Todt. They run a first class operation. I had a parking pass for my limo and a little care package with an leatherbound photo of the drivers. And don't forget the pit walk through - even behind the ropes to where the car is.
You may find your picture in an issue of Eurobusiness magazine too. They do a photo essay of the Paddock Club at each event. (Why did I have to be standing next to a super model - yuck!)

You can't just show up and get in the Paddocks. I've been to the USGP the last two years and sit in section H at the F1 turn one. Great seats ! |

Do what I do and just show up. Scalp prices for all tickets are below face. I sit between turns 1 & 2 (Indy 500 1 and 2 that is) and it's a great view. I don't pay a lot. |

The Paddock tickets are around $4k per person for the three day weekend(practice,qualifying and race). The Ferrari Owner's Site list what all it includes such as drinks, lunch, pit walkabout, driver's meeting, and more. |

I had the chance to goto the pits at the USGP and its just awesome. You won't believe but I was in Tony George's personal box and had access everywhere. Saw all the drivers, team managers, etc. It was a great experience. Their are photos posted at http://www.focfloridaregion.com/usgrandprix.htm. No one other than team personal has complete access to the pits and garage area. The very front of the pits are roped off. |

I note on the Ferrari Owner's site that you can buy Paddock tickets for F1 races including the USGP. While they are expensive, it looks like a lot of fun. I've been to the USGP the last two years and would like to raise the bar and tour the pits and garage as well as meet the drivers. Are there any other Chat members willing to spend the big bucks to do the Ferrari Paddock gig ? |
