Australian Grand Prix tickets went on public sale on Wednesday, September 10th. However, within minutes fans realised they couldn't buy any more tickets. Emma Pinqill, Chief Commercial Officer of the Australian Grand Prix has since reacted to the situation.
Only minutes after grandstand tickets were put on public sale, fans were left unable to purchase anymore. The reason? They'd all been sold out, with the F1 hungry fans leaving only general admissions and hospitality passes available for purchase.
In statements picked up by PlanetF1, Pinwill reacted to the exciting news. “We saw an incredible response to yesterday’s ticket on-sale, with several categories selling out within the first hour,” said Pinwill.
“It’s a clear sign that the appetite for Formula 1 in Australia is stronger than ever," she continued. "For those still hoping to join us trackside, there are a range of tickets still available across all four days."
2026 Australian GP set to be 'one of our biggest and best'
Pinwill's call to action was followed with a tease, arguing the 2026 edition of the iconic race in Albert Park's semi-permanent track was looking to become one of its best ever to date, with current championship leader, Australia-born Oscar Piastri listed as one of the event's main attractions.
“As the 2026 season opener, next year’s event is shaping up to be one of our biggest and best.
“With Oscar Piastri continuing to impress on track, exciting new event offerings, and an upgraded fan experience, including the debut of the Oscar Piastri Grandstand, Albert Park will be the place to be in March.”
In 2026 Formula 1 is also facing the most drastic regulation change in, arguably, the history of the sport, with fundamental changes to the power units, fuel, and chasis, the introduction of active aerodynamics and changes to the specifications of the Pirelli compoun tyres. Thus next year alterations to the pecking order and entirely new dynamics are expected to govern when the F1 World Championship kicks off in Melbourne come March.
