Default Formula 1 @ Circuit of Americas - Austin, TX - Nov 16-18th

So who plans on going? Tickets go on sale to the public on Sunday June 10 9am CST. I was on the preorder list since I put a deposit down and already purchased my tickets on Turn 12.

I put down a deposit but was pretty unhappy they wanted season ticket prepayment on a 10-year lease or whatever for their top seats, so I passed on the early seat reservations and think I'm just going to ask for my deposit back.

I think Lexus is going to try to do some LFA stuff that weekend, so keep an eye out for that.

youll still get pre purchase access until the 9th if you want non premium seats. Shouldve gotten an email. Thats how I got tickets before June 10th and got $100 credit when I bought the tickets for my tickets

looks like turn 12 sold out on the presale, by far the best value for seats without having to do the Personal Seat License, premium seats (gold colored ones)

tickets went on sale, selling out pretty hard. T12 is completely out after 5 minutes. "Best available" was T4 afterwards

Final stage of tickets being released for the premium Turn 1 and Turn 15 seats. 3 day premium ticket pass ranges from $400-800 if you know anyone that still wants to go. Otherwise the venue is SOLD OUT hard.

Generally crisp fall days, 50-60°, aka "football weather". Best time of year to be in Austin.
