How do you buy tickets for a Formula 1 Grand Prix in Mexico, Las Vegas, Miami or Abu Dhabi?

Where can you buy Formula 1 Grand Prix tickets safely?

Each Grand Prix has an official ticket site, linked from the Formula 1 website; start there. Ticket types vary by race (numbered grandstand, general admission, hospitality packages) and the price depends on the race and the section.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday may be sold separately or as a weekend package: check what the ticket covers before paying.

Guarapay issues a virtual prepaid Visa card with a US-dollar balance in about two minutes, in the Guarapay app or the Telegram mini app @guarapay_bot. It works for online payments wherever Visa is accepted; it cannot be used at the box office or on card terminals. Some merchants may decline cards under their own rules, so check in the app that each charge was approved.

In which currency is the charge and what extra costs should you count?

The currency varies by race and site: it may be dollars, Mexican pesos or another. Check the payment screen; if it is not dollars, Visa converts on the purchase date.

Add the flight, accommodation (which is often pricier in Grand Prix week) and transport to the circuit to the budget.

How do you pay for F1 ticket, flight and hotel step by step?

  1. Open the Guarapay app or the Telegram mini app @guarapay_bot and create an account.
  2. Issue the virtual card; the issue fee is US$ 10 on Standard or US$ 100 on Premium.
  3. Add up the expected costs and top up the balance with a Visa or Mastercard bank card in your own name or with USDT.
  4. Pick the race and open the Grand Prix’s official ticket site.
  5. Compare sections and days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday or package) and check the total on the payment screen.
  6. With the ticket confirmed, book flight and hotel and check whether you need a visa or entry authorization.
  7. Enter the card number, expiry date and security code, with the name as it appears in the app.
  8. Check the amount and currency, confirm, and look for the purchase notification in the app, which arrives right away.

How much does it cost to pay for a Formula 1 Grand Prix with the card?

  • The prices of the ticket, flight and hotel are whatever each site shows at checkout; Guarapay does not change them.
  • Card issue: US$ 10 on Standard and US$ 100 on Premium, once.
  • Top-up: 2% with USDT (1% on Premium) or 5% with a bank card, taken at top-up.
  • Per approved purchase: US$ 0.25. A ticket, a flight and a hotel on different sites are separate charges.
  • No monthly fee. The monthly limit is US$ 10,000 on Standard and US$ 100,000 on Premium.
  • If you top up with a local bank card, your bank may add its own taxes and exchange rate; with USDT the top-up lands directly in dollars.

What mistakes should you avoid when travelling to an F1 Grand Prix?

  • Buying from a reseller with no guarantee just because the official section sold out.
  • Booking flight and hotel before having the ticket and losing money.
  • Not checking which days the ticket covers.
  • Leaving transport to the circuit out of the budget.
  • Counting on the virtual card at the box office or on card terminals at the stadium: it only works for online payments.
