I was checking cost for Formula 1 tickets and suuuuu-weeee they are expensive! Of course they include 3 days for the practice, qualifying, and the race but that just means you needs to spend more for hotel, restaurants, resort fees, tourist fees, etc.
General admission tickets for the inaugural Las Vegas race are sold out. The general admission standing room only were $500 bit still sold out! The cheapest tickets are $1500 and from there they go up to over $10k per person.
The Austin race is a bit more inline with the cheapest being around $810.
I'd love to hear those engines but it's a heck of a bargain just watching it on TV.
