The Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is expanding its ticket options as excitement builds for the final race of the Formula 1 season at Yas Marina Circuit.
Organizers have introduced new ticket categories and premium experiences for fans ahead of the December race weekend. The latest additions include the new Abu Dhabi Hill three-day package and the premium 16/360 hospitality experience. More ticket categories and hospitality options are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
The Formula 1 season has already returned to action, and attention is slowly turning toward Abu Dhabi, where the championship could once again be decided during the final race of the year. The Abu Dhabi race weekend will run from December 3 to December 6 and is expected to attract thousands of motorsport fans from around the world.
The new 16/360 hospitality package is one of the biggest additions for the upcoming event. The experience first appeared during the 2025 race and quickly became one of the most talked-about hospitality areas at the circuit.
Located near Turn 16 inside the track, the 16/360 area offers wide views across several important sections of the circuit. Guests can watch action on the main straight, Turns 6 and 7, Turns 15 and 16, and the finish line from different viewing points around the venue.
The hospitality area also includes open-air terraces, guest DJs, signature bars, and rotating food menus throughout the race weekend. Organizers say the experience was designed to combine luxury entertainment with close-up race action.
For fans looking for a more affordable option, the new Abu Dhabi Hill ticket package has also gone on sale. The three-day ticket starts from AED 995 and offers access to qualifying sessions and the season-ending Grand Prix race.
The Abu Dhabi Hill area provides an open-air setting with broad views of the circuit. Fans will also have roaming access across several parts of the venue during race week. The package includes entry to fan zones and access to three nights of After-Race concerts taking place on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Race organizers are continuing to add extra benefits to ticket packages to improve the fan experience. Four-day ticket holders will receive complimentary access to several major attractions in Abu Dhabi. Officials estimate the value of these added experiences at around AED 2,200.
Fans attending the race can visit top destinations on Yas Island, including Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, which is home to one of the world’s fastest rollercoasters.
Other attractions included in ticket offers are Yas Waterworld, SeaWorld Yas Island, and Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi.
Visitors can also access cultural destinations such as Louvre Abu Dhabi, Qasr Al Watan, Zayed National Museum, Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, and teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi.
The After-Race Concert series remains one of the biggest attractions during the race weekend. Organizers confirmed that Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson will perform on Thursday night. More artists are expected to be announced before the event begins.
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has become one of the most popular races on the Formula 1 calendar. The 2025 edition attracted a record crowd of 339,000 fans across the four-day event, showing the growing demand for motorsport and entertainment experiences in the UAE.
Officials say ticket sales for the 2026 event are already underway. Fans are being encouraged to secure tickets early, especially for premium hospitality areas and popular grandstand locations, as demand is expected to remain very high for the season-ending race weekend.
