SuperGP Ticket Information

Tickets for the event are usually available from several months before. There are various ticket options including:

• General Admission which gets you ground level viewing only, unless you purchase a 4 day ticket
• Grandstand tickets - which get you access to various levels of grandstand depending upon what you buy (Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze)
• One day tickets (prices are different on each day)
• Weekend tickets
• 4 day ticket passes which allow you into certain flexi-stands around the track on a first come first serve basis.

Anyone staying in accommodation within the track will require a 4 day ticket and accommodation pass, except if they have Grandstand or Corporate Hospitality packages as that is included in their package.

Holiday Inn Surfers Paradise and Gold Coast International both charge a room levy that includes accomodation pass but you will still require a general admission ticket pass for your stay.

General Admission tickets range in price from adults on first day of around $35 to $105 on Sunday Race Day. Great savings can be made by purchasing the 4 day admission at $140 which also includes the option of some grandstand seating.

Savings can also be made if you plan to stay within the track and purchase your Admission and Accommodation Pass before August 1. This is also true with Grandstand packages which are more expensive after 1 August.
