Plan your visit
Getting there
Lusail International Circuit is north of central Doha. Free parking and a taxi pick-up and drop-off zone are included with every ticket. The circuit says a shuttle from Lusail Metro Station is planned, with details to be announced closer to race weekend; check the Lusail Tickets app before you set off, and leave early on Sunday, when traffic to the circuit is heaviest.
What to expect
Three days of track action under floodlights: Practice 1, Sprint Qualifying and the Sprint on Friday 27 November, Qualifying on Saturday 28 November, and the Grand Prix on Sunday 29 November. Every ticket includes the F1 Fan Village with entertainment and live performances, the food court and that day's post-race concert. Giant screens around the circuit let you follow the race from any stand.
Good to know
- Can I buy a ticket for just one day?
- General Admission tickets are sold for single days. Grandstand tickets come only as 3-day packages, and only the Main Grandstand has assigned seats.
- Do children need a ticket?
- Children aged two and under go free without a ticket, but have no seat of their own and must be carried by a parent.
- Is there wheelchair access?
- Yes. A wheelchair user and one companion can attend with one full-price ticket and one free ticket, requested from tickets@lcsc.qa with a valid government ID.
- Can I get a refund or resell my ticket?
- No. Once bought, tickets can't be changed, refunded or resold, though they can be transferred to family or friends. Tickets from unauthorised resellers are invalid, so buy from the circuit or an official reseller.
