Column: F1 learns it overestimated fan demand for Las Vegas, the most expensive race of the year - Lemmy.World

“ this race was never about attracting new fans to the global motorsport”

No shit, I feel the average fan has been priced out since liberty took over.

Absolutely. Even the cheapest 3 day tickets are over $800 since the prices dropped.

That’s absolutely not affordable for a lot of people after including hotels, airfare, etc.

I don’t want to stand in the cold desert watching a race. I’d much rather be warm and in my house.

I went to Montreal in '17, '18, and '19. For 2020 I got tickets for the family (1sr race for my wife and 2 kids) - the entire trip with flights (from Ontario) was $10K.

We’re considering buying tickets for next year, but I’m struggling to justify it. We do the Toronto Indy every year, and the experience is as good or bett

The kids want to go to F1 once, just to see the cars in person. But it will probably be a one and done for us

Just FYI: Formula E is in Mexico City and Portland and WEC will visit Texas. Might be alternatives you wanna make a vacation of.
