Going to the Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne 4 years, 2 months agoThanks to everyone that replied with suggestions
and answers to my questions.
I stayed in an Airbnb in St Kilda. Great location.
I found a good place to watch on a small hill
inside the track near the escape road across from the Schumacher
stands underneath the big screen. Good viewing and in the shade until
close to race time. This helped…[Read more] -

Going to the Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne 4 years, 3 months agoI fly into MEL early Friday morning. If I am able to stay awake after 24 hrs of flights and layovers to get
there I will go to check in or at least drop off my bags at my AirBnB in S. Kilda, and hopefully to the track.
I will certainly be there Sat/Sunday. Unfortunately when I tried to buy my seats all grandstands
were sold out for…[Read more] -

Going to the Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne 4 years, 4 months agoSorry but I may have used American slang that is not used in Australia when I said
I am a bit “gun shy”. It basically means I am worried something will go wrong
like getting there and not being able to get a ticket to the race. Because of my
bad experience I plan to buy on line ahead of time just to be sure I don’t have a problem
when I…[Read more] -

Going to the Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne 4 years, 4 months agoJust as an FYI in the US one of the meanings of concessions is places where vendors
sell food or merchandise. It sounds like it has a different usage in Australia, thus
my confusion.Tom

Going to the Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne 4 years, 4 months agoThanks for the reply. Unfortunately I had a problem in 2016 when I arrived at the gate at Monza
and was told GA was sold out so I am a bit gun shy. Good to know I can wait.Tom

Going to the Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne 4 years, 4 months agoThanks for all the inputs.
I have air tix from US and lodging in St. Kilda.
Now for admission tickets. What are the differences
between GA and GA Concession tickets? Which are recommended?
Do you recommend any websites to purchase them from, should
I use tickets.formula1.com?Tom

Going to the Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne 4 years, 4 months agoThanks to you that replied to my questions. I cant afford paddock club and it sounds like
this is a great track for GA viewing. Normally when I go to races in the US I buy GA
tickets and wander through and watch from various locations during the weekend and don’t
reserve bleacher seats so I think that should work well at Albert Park. -

Formula One 5 years, 1 month agoI would like to attend an F1 race. What track is best for a spectator that does
not want to stay in one spot in a bleacher seat. That is what track is best for
people to wander during the race weekend and watch from different places.In a separate question which F1 track is located in the best location for a visitor

Does anyone know if ESPN will be broadcasting any
pre or post race shows? I can’t find anything in
my cable TV guide other than practice, qualifying and race shows.Tom
