Baku is a mid-priced F1 destination. General Admission tickets are cheap, but grandstands have become more expensive the past few years. The race is the least affordable on the calendar for locals to attend. Learn more in our ranking of 2023 F1 ticket prices. It’s also worth noting that Baku sells some of the cheapest access to Formula 1 Paddock Club hospitality on the F1 calendar.
The local government did international tourists a favor in late 2015 (but not locals) by removing a long-standing peg to the USD, which caused the Azerbaijani manat (AZN) to collapse in value overnight. This decision was tied to the falling oil price, which has had a big effect in oil-rich Azerbaijan. This has made Baku a much more affordable destination for foreign visitors, but it can easily get expensive if you are staying in an international chain hotel and eating in the best local restaurants.

Hi Andrew,
Planning a trip to 2019 Baku F1 and would like your expert advice on the grandstand tickets.
I can only attend on race day and wanted to check with you if there are any sites which will only sell Sunday grandstand tickets.
We are 4 people and deciding on either Mugham or Icheri grandstands? Which of these do you prefer and what is good about it.
Thanks,
Hi Philip, I don’t know of any sites selling race-day only tickets, sorry. I haven’t personally sat in either grandstand, but I’d choose Mugham as it’s closer to the Fanzone and you can see two sections of the track. Enjoy!
Baku is a great city, with the beautiful infrastructure, i just missed out to watch F1 when visited last time.
the people in baku are very friendly to the tourist irrespective of any country.
So this year i have planned to witness the F1 RACE IN Baku happening in april.
