SINGAPORE: Tickets for this year's Formula One Grand Prix will go on sale from next month.
Race promoter, Singapore GP, said some 65,000 three-day general admission tickets will be available. These tickets are in addition to the 10,000 Paddock Club and corporate hospitality suite tickets launched on Monday.
Singapore GP said all ticket prices will either be lower or unchanged compared with last year. Early bird ticket buyers will enjoy an average of 15 per cent in savings.
Grandstand ticket prices will also be lower, and prices of walkabout tickets have been held at last year's levels.
Singapore GP said it will also, for the first time, release a walkabout ticket that allows fans access to Zone 1. The three-day Premier Walkabout tickets allow fans to watch the action along Republic Boulevard, where the cars approach the sweeping right-hander at Turn 5.
At Turns 22 and 23, spectators can see first-hand drivers entering the pit lane or heading towards the chequered flag.
Zone 1 will be equipped with specially designed bleachers to maximise viewing opportunities. Premier Walkabout ticketholders also have access to the entertainment offerings in the rest of the Circuit Park.
Although single-day walkabout prices are not yet released, Singapore GP said it is expected that three-day tickets will offer at least 25 per cent savings over individual day tickets.
There is heightened excitement for this year's race, as seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher - regarded in some quarters as the greatest driver in the history of the sport - will show off his night-driving skills on the Marina Bay street circuit for the first time, in a Mercedes GP car.
