Racing is the main highlight of the USGP weekend in Austin. Fans from across Texas, the USA and abroad come to see the F1 cars take on the unique COTA race track. There are 3 days of F1 racing action (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) blended in with top concerts and other great entertainment. Fans can purchase Friday only tickets to see the practice rounds, or purchase a Saturday USGP ticket to be there for the Qualifying. The Sunday race is the most popular ticket we offer as that is the day of the US Grand Prix. Fans who want to take in the entire weekend can buy a 3-day pass which provides access to each day of the USGP.

The demand for the 2022 US Grand Prix is stronger than ever as in recent years the hit Netflix series "Drive to Survive" has created millions of new fans across the United States. The newfound interest in F1 racing in the US has made this race among the hottest tickets on the global circuit. Fans attending the race can choose to purchase a reserved seat (see options below) or a general admission ticket. The reserved seats offer a seat with a nice view of a certain area on the track. The G/A tickets are typically the least expensive and allow fans to check out the race from different vantage points around the track, although they will not have a reserved seat.

Fans can purchase a 3-day USGP ticket which provides access to all three days of racing and the concerts, or can purchase an individual day pass. Tickets purchased for Friday and Saturday will also grant access to the concert held that evening. The concerts at COTA have been general admission shows, that are setup on the open field in the middle of the race track. There is an option to purchase VIP seating for the concerts, which is closer to the stage, for those fans who wish to upgrade. In 2022, the concerts will be performed by Green Day on Friday and Ed Sheeran on Saturday.

Parking for the US Grand Prix

With over 120,000 patrons in attendance many fans who attend the US Grand Prix at COTA opt to purchase a parking pass ahead of the race. The track is located a few minutes outside of Austin and there is no public transportation (i.e.- bus routes or trains) that goes to the track so fans have to take a shuttle bus, drive themselves or take a ride share. The long lines to leave the track at the end of the night, and very remote location, have convinced many fans to drive and park. A pre-purchased parking pass will provide access to one of the official COTA parking lots that are a closer walk to the track. More info is available on our COTA parking pass page.
