1. Ticket Prices

For the 2024 Macau Grand Prix, tickets were priced differently for practice days and race days. Practice days (November 14-15) had a flat rate of MOP 100 (RMB 90), unchanged from the previous year.

Race day tickets (November 16-17) varied by grandstand: the Lisboa Bend Grandstand was the most expensive at MOP 1,200 (RMB 1,080), followed by the Main Grandstand at MOP 750 (RMB 675), and the Reservoir Grandstand at MOP 400 (RMB 360).

Grand Prix Grandstands

The Guia Circuit features three grandstands: the Main Grandstand (start/finish line), the adjacent Reservoir Grandstand, and the Lisboa Bend Grandstand near the famous Lisboa Corner.

The Lisboa Bend Grandstand is a fan favorite for its thrilling views of cars navigating the tight corner. Its proximity to hotels like Wynn, StarWorld, and Grand Lisboa, along with nearby dining options, makes it convenient but pricier.

The Main Grandstand, located at the heart of the action, offers the best atmosphere with pre-race shows, driver appearances, and podium ceremonies. It also features covered seating for weather protection.

The Main Grandstand entrance is opposite the Macau Ferry Terminal.

The Main Grandstand features covered seating for rain protection.

The Reservoir Grandstand, adjacent to the Main Grandstand, offers unobstructed track views but lacks weather protection. Its western section provides unique angles of approaching cars. As the most affordable option, it’s popular among budget-conscious fans.

The Reservoir Grandstand has no roof but offers excellent viewing angles.
