A spokesperson for tonybet commented on the findings:

“Tickets to Formula 1 Championship races are some of the most in-demand in international sport, so it’s expected that they come at a premium cost. However, with loyal fans and new – due to the sport's increasing popularity by new demographics thanks to the likes of Netflix’s ‘Drive to Survive’ – keen to be in on the action, tickets will be increasingly snapped up as the season progresses.

“The study provides useful insights for fans keen to estimate how much to budget to be able to attend some of the most hotly anticipated race events of the year. It is particularly interesting to see that all three American races place in the top five most expensive – highlighting the growing fanbase for the sport in the USA and the potential calibre of guests in attendance, often including A-list celebrities.”
