Budget Planner – 2019 Belgian Grand Prix

Filed in Belgian Grand Prix Travel Guide by Editor on February 23, 2019 • 6 Comments

Find out how much it will cost to attend Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps for the 2019 Belgian Grand Prix on August 30-September 1.

The Belgian Grand Prix is one of the more expensive events on the F1 calendar. Grandstand tickets are expensive and you’ll also need to factor in daily travel costs if you stay further afield. That’s why trackside camping makes a lot of sense here; you’ll save money and still have an amazing experience.

BUDGET

Weekend cost approx. €350 ($395 USD)
3-day General Admission ticket = €160
Trackside camping for 3 or 4 nights (sharing pitch with 3 other people) = €40
Spending money (€50 x 3) = €150

MID-RANGE

Weekend cost approx. €985 ($1115 USD)
3-day Gold grandstand ticket = €505
3-star hotel nearby for 3 nights (per person, twin share) = €180
Spending money, including circuit transfers (€100 x 3) = €300

HIGH END

Weekend cost approx. €2185 ($3640 USD)
F1 Experiences Champions Club Package = €2160
4-star in nearby city for 3 nights (per person, twin share) = €450
Spending money, including daily transfers (€200 x 3) = €600

Average costs below are per person based on a stay of 3 nights on Grand Prix weekend with race tickets, accommodation, cost of getting to and from the circuit, and spending money. The budget does not include flights (or other travel costs) required to reach Belgium.

  Hi Madeleine, I’m not sure of the fastest route to the Euro tunnel – probably you can get that from Google Maps. As for timing, I left around 6pm last year – it was at least one hour of driving on small circuits near the circuit before we got on to the motorway. There was further delays on the motorway – for another hour. Make sure you don’t book any train too early – I was back in Brussels around 3 hours after leaving the circuit after the race – about double the time it normally takes without traffic.

  Hi Steven, yes they were using a token system last year (not for everything) with one token = 3.50 EUR. Here’s some pictures with prices from the 2018 Belgian Grand Prix. Picture 1, Picture 2, Picture 3, Picture 4, Picture 5

Hi,
Can you advise on the best location to get on the circuit post race to see the podium celebrations? Where to stand to make the sprint on track.
Also, can I walk the entire circuit (or attempt to) post race as well? Or atleast to Eau Rouge to get some action photo shots.

  HI James, I’m not 100% certain on the best place to enter the track for the podium, but I’m thinking it will be either end of the start-finish straight, so either near La Source or near the Bus Stop Chicane. If you are there around 10 laps before the end, you’ll know if you are in the right spot. Not sure if you can walk entire track, but definitely you can get up to Eau Rouge. Enjoy
