Yas Marina Circuit today announced that tickets for the 2015 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix are now on sale.
Demand is expected to be at an all-time high following 2014’s record-breaking, sell-out race weekend. Last year saw more than 60,000 fans enjoy a spectacular finale to a nail-biting season and a race-weekend that generated 1.9 billion twitter impressions for the ‘#AbuDhabiGP’ hashtag, and which trended number one worldwide on race day. The weekend also recorded the highest customer satisfaction scores to date, with an unprecedented 99 percent of racegoers surveyed saying they had enjoyed their overall experience.
With capacity remaining at 60,000 for 2015, this year’s tagline is ‘Go Beyond’, and reflects the expectations of an even more fulfilling experience for race goers across all aspects of the weekend. Fans will enjoy a greater selection of entertainment options, enhanced hospitality including the new ‘Marsa Boxes’ for corporate guests, as well as all-new individual ticket packages, including the introduction of a one-day roaming ticket for Friday.
Returning to Yas Marina Circuit between November 27th-29th, the world’s only twilight race will be the last of the 2015 season, and could potentially decide the prestigious F1 driver’s championship title once again.
“Last year was a tremendous success and we are looking to build on that in 2015,” said Al Tareq Al Ameri, CEO of Yas Marina Circuit. “Our ‘Go Beyond’ ethos means that we are constantly aiming to improve our visitor experience and that the race weekend is about more than what happens on the track. This is our seventh Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and we keep going from strength to strength. Since we started in 2009, our weekend has become a signature event, not just on the Abu Dhabi calendar but on the international sporting stage.”
Local culture will form a backdrop to the motor racing drama as the UAE’s biggest and best sporting and entertainment weekend will kick-start the UAE National Day celebrations in the Emirates, a major theme of this year’s Grand Prix. This will be reflected in an increase in heritage-related, off-track activities, affording the many thousands of international visitors an authentic taste of Emirati tradition and history.
Tickets are available online and through the Yas Marina Circuit Call Centre, as well as through all Etihad Shops and Virgin Megastores.
