The British Grand Prix at Silverstone is one of the most established, popular and well-attended races on the Formula 1 calendar, and also one of the most expensive to attend. Silverstone has capacity for approximately 150,000 F1 fans, made up of 60,000 grandstand tickets and 90,000 General Admission tickets. Despite the high prices, the event regularly attracts a crowd close to capacity. Tickets for the 2026 British Grand Prix will go on sale to the public from 10am on Friday September 19 via the official Silverstone website. Ticket sales for the event have come under scrutiny in recent years, with many fans unhappy with the use of dynamic pricing, which sees ticket prices increase – sometimes by up to £200 – in line with demand.

Best Tickets to Buy at Silverstone?

Budget (<€500): The General Admission areas at Silverstone are very good these days, offering lots of excellent vantage points around the circuit, as well as roving access to most of the grandstands on Friday. Cheaper grandstands worth considering include Vale and Village A.

Mid-Range (€500-1000): There’s plenty of decent grandstand views at Silverstone, including Hamilton Straight (with views of the start-finish line and pits), Woodcote A-B and Becketts.

Hospitality (>€1000): The Champions Club by F1 Experiences is recommended for all-inclusive hospitality and access to insider activities, while the more expensive Formula 1 Paddock Club offers the ultimate hospitality experience at Silverstone.

3-Day or 4-Day Tickets at Silverstone?

Silverstone offers a range of ticket options, including 4-day tickets, 3-day tickets, 2-day tickets and single day tickets. Prior to 2023, access to Thursday’s trackside activities at Silverstone was included with a 3-day British Grand Prix ticket. That changed in 2023, when Silverstone introduced a new opening night concert on Thursday evening for the first time.

Although there is no on-track action on Thursday at the British Grand Prix, fans can still soak up the atmosphere trackside ahead of the race weekend and partake in a range of activities. Top of the bill is a star-studded concert in the evening (which in recent years has been headlined by Kings Of Leon and Calvin Harris). Sky Sports F1 host a live show on the pit straight featuring driver appearances and there’s the opportunity to explore the Fan Zone, plus complimentary access to the Silverstone Museum. Thursday tickets are a little cheaper for the 2025 British Grand Prix than in 2024. Thursday General Admission access – granting all day access to the circuit – is priced at £70, while Thursday evening tickets – which include access to the circuit from 18:00 – are £50.

General Admission

The General Admission (GA) offer at Silverstone is pretty decent, and goes some way to justifying the high ticket price. GA areas cover almost the whole circumference of the circuit and offer excellent vantage points at some of the best corners. In many cases, the GA areas are located directly in front of the grandstands. The organizers have also invested in improving the GA experience in recent years by increasing capacity, constructing raised viewing mounds and moving some perimeter fencing to get fans to get closer to the action.

Some of the best General Admission viewing areas at Silverstone include the International Pits Straight (with a view of the start/finish line), Luffield, Becketts, Vale and Copse Corner. It’s important to secure your chosen spot in General Admission as early as possible, particularly on Saturday and Sunday as the popular areas get progressively busier over the course of the weekend.

In 2024, in what appeared to be a last minute decision, General Admission ticket holders were granted free access to the circuit’s grandstands on Friday. Grandstand upgrades were available to buy for both Saturday and Sunday.

General Admission Plus

In recent years, Silverstone has added ‘General Admission Plus’ to its British Grand Prix ticket offering. GA+ tickets include access to a reserved terrace area on race day, plus roving access to all other GA+ areas for the rest of the weekend. In 2025, these areas are located at the Luffield and Copse turns.

Note that although you will have a place in a dedicated reserved terrace area, which arguably offer better views than in regular General Admission areas, your exact place is unreserved. As with regular General Admission access, you’ll need to arrive early to secure the best vantage points.

Silverstone Grandstands

All the grandstands at Silverstone offer big screen viewing, whilst around half of the grandstands (the more expensive ones) are covered. Previously, for the first two days of the event, all grandstand tickets were ‘roving’, meaning you could check out the views from most of the other Grandstands. In a change for 2026, however, you will now have an allocated seat for every day of your booking.

Hamilton Straight Grandstand

The large, popular Hamilton Straight grandstands (previously International Pit Straight) are located opposite the pits complex and are the best place to watch the start, finish and pitstops at Silverstone. Hamilton Straight A is located before the finish line (closer to the podium end of the pit lane) and Hamilton Straight B is located after the finish line (closer to Abbey corner). The best tickets are in block 2, closer to the start of the straight. Block 5 tickets are at the other end of the straight (closer to Abbey corner). Secure a Trophy Package from F1 Experiences with Hamilton Straight A grandstand seating

Club Corner Grandstand

The Club Corner grandstands (Club Corner and Club A) are on the final corner of Silverstone, leading on to the International Pits Straight. They’re a solid and popular Grandstand choice at Silverstone. There are four sections across these large Grandstands – the best tickets are in Section 2, closest to the pits area. Club Corner is a good choice for the best view of the podium celebrations after the race.

Becketts Grandstand

The Becketts grandstand is located on one of the most demanding sections of any Grand Prix circuit. The Maggots-Beckets esses at Silverstone are a high-speed test of drivers’ skills and a great place to watch the action. The run-off area here is wide, so the stands are set back from the cars, but the views are panoramic and you also get a view of the village corner on the opposite side of the track. Secure a Trophy Package from F1 Experiences with Becketts grandstand seating

Abbey Grandstand​

Abbey grandstand is located at the end of the Hamilton Straight (previously International Pit Straight), right next to the opening Abbey corner. From these seats, you get a distant view of the final Club corner, pitstops and start/finish of the race, Abbey corner and on to Farm Curve. A solid choice.

Luffield Grandstand

Luffield is a slow corner which offers a prolonged view of the cars from the Wellington Straight all the way to the National Pits Straight. The Luffield A & B Grandstands were merged in 2014.

Woodcote A & B Grandstand​s

Woodcote A (video above) is a better choice than Woodcote B. From Woodcote A, you get a good view of the slow-speed Luffield corner before the cars accelerate out of Woodcote and down the National Pits straight. Pit Lane / Woodcote B packages from F1 Experiences include Woodcote B grandstand seating

Village A,B Grandstand​s

The more expensive, covered Village B grandstand (video above) offers an extended and close-up view as the cars take on the difficult slow-speed Village and Loop corners. From here, it’s also a short walk to the Village stage on the infield where concerts are held each night on Grand Prix weekend.

The cheaper Village A is also an excellent choice. From Village B, you get a great extended view of the cars as they take on the slow and technical Village and Loop corners which present a real test of the driver’s skills. Big screen viewing is available. You are also close to the Village stage on the infield where some of the best off-track action happens on the weekend.

National Pits Straight Grandstand​

The covered National Pits Straight stand is located on the straight between Woodcote and Copse at the half way point of a Silverstone lap, overlooking the old pits area. There is big-screen TV viewing available for fans and a good atmosphere.

Copse A,B,C Grandstand​s

The three Copse grandstands (A,B,C) are located on the outside of Copse Corner, a super-fast right hander at the end of the National Pits Straight. These three stands are covered and offer good views for the price as well as big screen TV viewing. We recommend choosing Copse A or B rather than Copse C.

Vale Grandstand

There are two sections in the Vale grandstand. Band 8 tickets are better, as they have a better view of the slow Vale Corner, as well as the final Club corner and the end of the International Pits straight. The Band 9 seats have views of several corners including Stowe, Vale, Club and Farm, as well as Hangar Straight.

Landostand A, B and C (Formerly Stowe Grandstands)

For the 2025 British Grand Prix, Lando Norris struck a deal with Silverstone to make the Stowe grandstands (and the standing area in front of it) the official grandstand for fans of the McLaren driver. Fans buying tickets in this stand will receive exclusive merchandise plus special appearances by Lando Norris himself during the British Grand Prix weekend. Tickets sold out within 24 hours of going on sale. The three stands on the outside of Stowe corner – a 3rd gear right-hander taken at almost 200 km/h – are good value, but are set back from the track due to the large run-off area. A big screen TV is located near to Landostand C and visible from all three stands. The best views are from Landostand B, followed by Landostand C and Landostand A.

Exclusive Enclosures at the British Grand Prix

Exclusive enclosures have become a popular option at the British Grand Prix in recent years. These more premium packages are a step up from regular general admission or grandstand tickets but are more affordable than the VIP and hospitality offerings. Exclusive enclosure tickets include a reserved grandstand ticket at some of the prime viewing spots around the Silverstone circuit, including Abbey (the first turn), Village and on the Wellington and Hangar straights.

Different enclosures offer different experiences. The Mihaki enclosures, for example, are the place to be if you’re looking for party vibes, while the Wellington, Garage and International Paddock Enclosures include access to the inner track. The International Paddock Enclosure is the closest you can get to the Formula 1 Paddock without a paddock pass or a ticket packages from F1 Experiences.

Within the exclusive enclosures, you’ll find paid bars, food stalls, free wi-fi and premium toilets, plus parking and fast track entry on each day of your visit. Note that food and drink is not complimentary with exclusive enclosure tickets, though the bars and food stalls here will have much shorter queues than those in the main Fanzone areas.
