Australian GP Grandstand and General Admission Guides
There are 18 different grandstands to choose from at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne for the F1 Australian Grand Prix. Some of these are covered, some are not.
For a cheaper option you can go for General Admission ‘Park Pass’ tickets, and Albert Park offers a number of different areas around the circuit to view from if you have one of these GA tickets, as the map below shows.
Read my guide to each grandstand and the general admission areas for my tips on picking the best seats, examples of the views, seating plans and more:
Alex’s top pick: The Brabham and Jones grandstands give the best views of the first couple of corners, where you’re most likely to see some action on the first lap and some overtaking throughout the race. They’re a little more pricey, but great for seeing some of the best action.
Out of those two options personally I’d go for the Brabham stand, where the best seats are rows R to V in sections F, G and H. If you can get those seats then you’re winning!
Alternatively if you want to get a real sense of speed from the cars, go for the Waite stand next to the incredibly fasts turns 9 and 10. Rows M to C in sections C and D are the ideal seats in that grandstand.
I have consistently purchased my F1 tickets on StubHub over the last few seasons because they always have tickets available right up until the last minute. And I’ve always had a great experience using them.
They always have a great selection of 1, 2 or 3 and even 4-day Australian GP tickets available, even when they’re sold out elsewhere. They also have a very robust ‘FanProtect guarantee’ which means your money and tickets are always going to be safe which has given me extra peace of mind when I’ve used them. I’ll happily get tickets through them again next time I go to an F1 race.
NOTE: If you’re visiting the StubHub website from Australia, you will need to use a VPN from another country to see the tickets available for the AUS GP. I use NordVPN who currently offer a 30-day money back guarantee.
