Melbourne Grand Prix 2027 tickets jump $40 to $425 for four days
Four-day passes now cost $425, up $40 from 2026; a new 100km sprint race will run Saturday.
The Australian Grand Prix Corporation has announced a price increase and major ticketing overhaul for next year's Melbourne race. A four-day general admission pass now costs $425, up $40 from 2026.
Sunday-only tickets rise to $220. The corporation is also rolling out membership tiers: a $275 Circuit Club pass grants early entry and merchandise deals; a $1370 grandstand membership offers reserved seating; and a $2185 Premium membership secures a seat in the exclusive Brabham Grandstand across all four days.
The most striking change is a new 100km sprint race, scheduled for Saturday, giving drivers a chance to score bonus championship points. In the past six years, a four-day pass has risen from $189 to $425, an increase of 124.87 per cent.
Fans have complained on social media about being priced out of the sport.
