This is news that will delight many Formula 1 enthusiasts. The organizers of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone have unveiled a new pricing policy for the 2025 edition, with a new feature: an increase in the number of cheapest general admission tickets available. Currently, if one wants to enjoy a full weekend at Silverstone, from Thursday to Sunday, the cheapest tickets are £1400 (€1667) and provide access to the grandstands located at the exit of the pit lane. At the same time, it has been decided to limit dynamic pricing, a financial strategy that adjusts prices according to demand, a phenomenon that was used for this year’s Grand Prix and will also be used for other events, such as the Oasis concert, where prices were much higher than expected, causing anger among fans.

This intolerable situation forced the British Grand Prix to react. Lewis Hamilton recently explained that we cannot continue to increase ticket prices at the risk of losing spectators, as some will soon no longer be able to afford to come to the circuit. The only thing I would say is that we need to keep an eye on ticket prices. I think they keep going up. The cost of living is too high these days. Of course, I’m wrong to say this, but I just think from a fan’s point of view. It’s extremely expensive. So, I think we need to look for ways to improve accessibility for people, had explained the seven-time world champion.

The ticket prices revealed

This Wednesday, the organizers have decided to increase the number of the cheapest tickets available. These entry tickets will range between £70 and £329 (€83 and €391) depending on the chosen seat and for a single day, while they will be between £269 and £399 (€320 and €476) for the entire weekend. From now on, the entry price for Friday will be £99 (€117) for adults, and free for all children under 11 years old, a decision that is expected to attract many families to the circuit.

On race day, a reserved seat will cost £309 (368€), while you will have to pay over £900 (1071€) if you want to enjoy the entire event, that is to say the four days, as well as the many music concerts that will take place that weekend. Finally, prices in the Farm Curve stands (those at the pit lane exit) are set at £319 (379€) for race day and £409 (487€) for the three-day weekend.

A willingness to reduce dynamic pricing.

Meanwhile, Silverstone claims to want to increase the number of fixed-price tickets in order to reduce dynamic pricing, which has been criticized by fans. However, the circuit’s organizers have explained that it will still be in place, especially to reward loyal spectators and encourage early purchases. Pre-booked ticket sales significantly support Silverstone’s annual operation under the ownership of the British Racing Drivers’ Club, a non-profit organization. As a result, our ticketing strategy will once again encourage those who book early, while rewarding loyal supporters throughout the year – through their membership in the SRC – as well as those who pre-book their on-site camping.

« Like previous years, some prices will increase when we reach certain capacity levels for each ticket type. » Therefore, Silverstone encourages fans to buy their tickets very early, risking having to pay more, a directive that paid off last year. According to estimates, more than 60% of spectators actually paid prices below the average. « Real-time prices are displayed on our ticketing page, and the full price ranges for each ticket category are clearly communicated in advance », organizers revealed, trying to provide fans with all the tools to buy the tickets they want safely.

Silverstone will open booking for the official campsite today, while the general public will be able to purchase tickets starting from September 26th. With more cheap tickets now available, the Silverstone Grand Prix hopes to attract even more spectators and, why not, beat its attendance record, as the circuit welcomed no less than 480,000 people over the weekend in the last two years.
