The seaside resort of Zandvoort welcomes Formula 1 racing for the fifth (and perhaps final?) year of its comeback stint in 2025. The return of the event in 2021 was spurred on by the huge popularity of local driver Max Verstappen. The Dutch driver duly won the first three editions of the race, all from pole position, but had to settle for second to McLaren’s Lando Norris in 2024.

2025 Dutch Grand Prix Tickets Now On Sale
The grandstands and general admission areas are nearly always filled with orange-cladded Max Verstappen supporters at the Dutch Grand Prix, but international interest in attending the race has remained low, which resulted in lots of unsold stock ahead of the 2024 race. This makes no sense to us, as we rate the Dutch Grand Prix as one of the best races to attend all season, with excellent organization, a friendly Dutch welcome and exciting on-track action. Tickets for the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix are now on sale. Prices have only increased by a few percent on 2024. You can also secure a grandstand or hospitality package from F1 Experiences.

Where to Stay for the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix
Zandvoort is a popular vacation spot on the North Sea and has a good supply of campsites, hotels and apartments to rent throughout the year. Unfortunately, finding a place to stay here on race weekend is very difficult, with the best accommodation booked well in advance by locals or reserved for F1 staff and track workers. Most fans prefer to stay in nearby Amsterdam, which has an excellent supply of accommodation to match all budgets, though prices are inevitably higher on race weekend. Direct trains connect Amsterdam Centraal station with Zandvoort station on race weekend in just 30 minutes. Learn More: Where to Stay for the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix

Support Races & Trackside Entertainment at Zandvoort
Neither Formula 2 nor Formula 3 have been on the support programme at Zandvoort in recent years, and this will not change in 2025 (neither series has included the Dutch Grand Prix on their 2025 calendar.) In 2024, support came from the all-female F1 Academy series and Porsche Supercup. Support categories are not yet confirmed for the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix.
The Dutch Grand Prix also features a range of trackside entertainment, with DJs and local bands performing on the stage in the fanzone. The biggest headliner in 2024 was Dutch superstar DJ, Armin Van Buuren. Concert headliners have not yet been announced for 2025. You can find more information on what to expect from your Zandvoort experience in our trackside guide. We also recommend downloading the official Dutch Grand Prix app, which contains the full event schedule, detailed circuit map and more information about attending the race.
Zandvoort, Haarlem & Amsterdam
Zandvoort is located 40km west of capital city Amsterdam, meaning there is plenty to do away from the race track during Dutch Grand Prix weekend. We’ve rounded up the best places to visit in the surrounding areas of Zandvoort, Haarlem and Amsterdam – as well as bars and restaurants to check out – in Off-Track Activities.
Hi, and thanks for the useful information.
My gf and I are staying in Amsterdam while attending the event (Saturday/Sunday ticket). Do you know if we get a wristband on entrance when scanning the ticket, or is the paper-ticket valid on both days? Do not wanna end up being denied entrance on Sunday because we didn’t received a wristband or so.
I’m not sure on the wristbands, sorry. My guess is that your paper ticket is valid on both days.
Thank you for the information!
Do you happen to know where are the drivers staying during the race weekend?
Most probably quite near the circuit, for example the NH Hotel: https://goo.gl/maps/sKXE7PCqRv4GfDWs5
Also the Center Parcs Strandhotel: https://goo.gl/maps/idDZmQFBHs218k6w8
Do the e-tickets need to be printed are would bringing a downloaded PDF be sufficient ? Also the app has a digital wallet where you can scan you ticket in but it doesn’t seem to be working for me. Do you know the procedure on that?
It’s always a good idea to have both printed tickets and the tickets on your phone, in case of any issues with your phone. Sorry, I don’t know about adding your tickets to the app – I suggest contacting dutchgp.com about that
Can I wear my petronas top. My boy is die hard Max but I’m Hamilton … but I want my boy to have a good time !
Sure you can! You may get some friendly jokes and banter from the Dutch fans, but it will be all fine!
If you have a weekend pass (Fri-Sun) does this provide access to all of the events on Super Friday? Such as the Drivers Q&A?
It should do, but I need to check! I’ll reply again once I have more info.
