Bahrain GP: F1 2017 tickets on sale at discounted prices

The Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix will be the third event of the 2017 season, and the first night race of the year.

The last time Bahrain hosted an event to a new rules set was the 2014, and it turned into an epic encounter between Mercedes teammates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg – who fought out a huge duel for victory.

“We have been overwhelmed by the support for the Grand Prix over the years, but it is clear that the night race has brought in a new breed of racing fan to BIC,” said BIC Chief Executive Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa.

“As our fourth night race, we expect the tickets to be more popular than ever, and we urge fans to get booking quickly to avoid disappointment, as our most popular grandstand tickets sell out faster and faster every year.”

This year’s race will be the 13^th F1 event held at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) in Sakhir, and takes place across the April 14 to 16 weekend.

An ‘Early Bird’ discount of up to 20% is available until January 26. This offer covers tickets to both BIC’s Main Grandstand and Turn 1 Grandstand.

“The 2017 Bahrain Grand Prix is right around the corner and we can already feel the anticipation of the fans across the country,” added Shaikh Salman.

“We are delighted to be able to offer them early access to tickets with our ‘Early Bird’ discount.”

There is also a 10% reduction on ticket prices to the Batelco Grandstand, University Grandstands and Victory Grandstands.

Children aged 12 years old and younger can get their tickets for half the price.

The ticket prices for 2017 are as follows:

 All ticket prices offer three-day access to the Grand Prix weekend, which, aside from Formula 1, will include racing from other major international and regional championships, and access to all of the Formula 1 weekend’s off-track entertainment.
