Concert access tickets - CGV experience
All of the music concerts listed above will take place on the Beach Platform at the Beach Zone. This year, CGV Experience tickets are on sale which are normal General Admission tickets with the addition of giving you access to the Beach Zone to see these concerts. CGV experience tickets also give you full-day access to this zone to watch the racing on a big TV screen and ‘luxury’ toilets.
However, it isn’t clear whether normal General Admission or grandstand tickets also give you access to the concerts. So I spoke to the Canadian GP ticket office on 28th April ’26 and this is what they confirmed:
- If you have a normal General Admission ticket you cannot access this zone or the concerts.
- If you have a grandstand ticket you cannot access this zone or the concerts.
So if you don’t have CGV experience tickets but want to see the music, what do you do? Well it turns out you can purchase an add-on to your existing ticket to get you access to the concerts.
Concert access add-ons cost:
- Friday – $143 CAD
- Saturday – $189 CAD
- Sunday – $189 CAD
There’s no discount if you purchase multiple days, so a three day add-on ticket to access the concerts is $523CAD.
Currently you cannot purchase this add-on online. The only way to buy an add-on is to call the official Canadian GP ticket office on the following number:
If you’re dialling from abroad you need to use the international dialling code for Canada which is +1.
