How can I purchase hospitality passes?
We encourage you to book your passes online. The process is very simple, taking less than two minutes.
Scam Tickets
Genuine tickets and hospitality packages are available from the Formula1.com website, F1 race promoters and/or appointed agents.
Formula 1 is aware of ticketing scams including fraudulent websites, suspicious emails, SMS and social media messages. Red flags to look out for when looking to purchase race tickets and Paddock Club tickets are:
• Persistent or unsolicited sales emails, often from a site for which you don’t remember registering;
• Offers of heavily discounted race tickets or Paddock Club tickets;
• A sense of urgency as to the ‘last remaining tickets’;
• Grammatical errors on the websites, emails or social media messages;
• Irregular looking email addresses or use of commonly available addresses such as @outlook or @gmail rather than business addresses;
• Being asked to converse via social media messages, including WhatsApp, and to transfer the fees to a bank account rather than paying through a secure portal;
• Any purported endorsement by the FIA, such as confirmatory letters purporting to be from the FIA (the FIA is the regulatory body and so is not involved in the sale of tickets).
Please note that Formula 1 cannot be held responsible for any damages that arise from any such dealings with other vendors therefore we ask that you remain vigilant.
How do I know whether the passes I want are still available?
If a certain pass category is available, you will be able to choose your desired quantity and add it to your Basket. A « sold out » message appears for passes that are no longer available.
The message “Check quantity failed” appears when the number of passes you have selected exceeds the amount we have on stock - please contact our Customer Care department by email or telephone if you would like further information.

Go to https://www.formula1.com/en/racing/2022.html and select the event of your interest, the race program is available for each Grand Prix under “Full Timetable”.
When are the event dates confirmed?
FIA must always confirm the event dates ahead of each season, which usually occurs in December. You can purchase passes for the events that are open, even though the exact dates are not yet confirmed. If a date is yet not confirmed, this will be indicated by the text “TBC (To Be Confirmed”) next to the event date in the ticket shop. Please be aware that you are purchasing passes for the event, and not for specific dates.

What method of shipment is used?
The shipment method depends on the product and the event organiser. Tickets are either delivered by DHL Express or available to download as e-tickets. If the delivery method is DHL Express your tickets will be shipped 1-2 weeks before the event. If the delivery method is e-tickets, you will be able to download them 5-10 days before the event. When tickets are ordered close to the event date, the delivery method "pick up" is used. This means that you will simply have to collect them directly at the event. Please note that it is not possible to choose a delivery method as it is set by the event organizer and depends on the product.
When will my passes be delivered?
Generally, passes are delivered by DHL approximately 3-4 weeks before the event. You will receive a tracking number once your order is shipped so you can track the package on DHL’s website.
Can I provide a different delivery address?
Yes. If you need your passes delivered to an address other than the invoice address, please send us an email with details.
Does someone need to be present when DHL delivers?
Yes. DHL delivers passes during the daytime, so please be sure to provide a delivery address where you or a trusted party can sign for the passes during the day.
What is the delivery charge?
The cost is based on your delivery address. The amount is automatically calculated when you enter your country on the Checkout page.
How can I collect my passes if my delivery method is “pick-up”?
To collect your passes at the event, you need to print your e-Voucher from your account (you will be advised by email once the voucher is ready to download, usually 1-2 weeks before the event), and present it to our pick-up team with your ID or passport. Details of the pick-up address and opening hours are printed on the e-Voucher.
I want to collect my passes at the circuit, but the option is not available on the website.
If you need to collect your passes at the circuit, please place your order normally and contact customer service afterwards. We can help you change your order to pick-up.
Can another person collect the passes on my behalf?

We provide various currencies for your information in the Ticket-Store. However, the currency in which you are debited may vary. Information on what currency your order will be processed in appears on the payment page of the Ticket-Store.
My payment was refused, what should I do?
Please use one of the following options to finalize your order:
- Try again, perhaps with another credit card. Please also make sure to check for any typing errors, deactivate Caps Lock and double-check the card details.
- Contact your bank to check why the transaction was denied. Sometimes banks need to authorize international payments. It could have also been due to a 3D Secure authentification error, in which case you may need to ask your bank to change how they verify your identity. 3D Secure is a layer of security that your bank requires where you'll have to enter a password or SMS code to authorise payment.
- Contact our Customer Care department for assistance with the purchase. Our agents can assist you by issuing a proforma invoice to be paid by bank wire transfer.
