As organisers gear up for record-setting crowds at the Australian Grand Prix, some of the sport’s most loyal fans are unhappy about changes made to the event’s VIP ticketing program.
However, a series price hikes have frustrated some of the fans most hardcore fans.Those looking for special experiences at the race say the event is much more expensive to attend than in years gone by.at the Australian Grand Prix, some of the sport’s most loyal fans are unhappy about changes made to the event’s VIP ticketing program.
For 2022, the program operated on a four-tier model, with ticket prices ranging from $55 to $550 – the higher the cost, the more benefits included. Despite the base price for this year’s ticket increasing to $200, Hudson bought the Access23 pass again to get access to next year’s pre-sale, as well as access to exclusive viewing areas at the Melbourne Walk and fan forum stage.Those areas operate on a first come, first served basis, and are available for all general admission ticket holders.
After noticing the website did not mention dedicated areas at either the Melbourne Walk or stage, Hudson emailed organisers, who told her it was no longer a benefit offered to Access23 holders.. They know that people are going to pay the extra $200 for the pre-sale,” Hudson said.Before the program was scrapped, AusGP members were given free access to pit lane walks.
The token then “unlocks” additional experiences to purchase at extra expense. These experiences include a tour of the pit lane , or a lap around the track in a race car.
