How I'd buy tickets for the 2027 Monaco Grand Prix

Buying a Monaco Grand Prix ticket isn’t hard, but it’s easy to get wrong. There’s only one official sale, the price chart has twenty zones whose names mean nothing unless you know the circuit, and around it you’ll find resellers and sites dressed up to look like the real thing. Here I focus purely on buying, which day, which zone, how much and where. What happens in town that weekend, with timings and closures, is in the Monaco Grand Prix.

When do 2027 tickets go on sale?

The Automobile Club de Monaco is opening sales in two phases. Its members could buy from Thursday 17 September 2026, and everyone else from Thursday 1 October. The 2027 event runs from 3 to 6 June, four days featuring Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3 and the Porsche Supercup, and it brings Monaco’s first ever Sprint race on the Saturday.

Formula 1’s own ticket store has a waitlist for Monaco, but I’d go straight to the source. Tickets are sold at monaco-grandprix.com, on the official Monaco Grand Prix app, by email or post to the Automobile Club’s ticket office and at its box office at 44 rue Grimaldi. There are also sales points around the circuit during the event, but I wouldn’t leave it that late.

Which day to buy

Each ticket covers every race that day in your zone, which changes the value of each day a lot. Thursday 3 June has Formula 2, Formula 3 and Porsche practice, no Formula 1, and any grandstand costs €40. Friday brings first practice and Sprint qualifying, with almost every stand at €250. Saturday has the Sprint and Grand Prix qualifying, plus Formula 2 and Formula 3 races, and Sunday is the Grand Prix itself, over 78 laps or 120 minutes.

For me, Saturday 2027 is the best balance between what you see and what you pay, because it has two Formula 1 sessions that count. Sunday is the race, and it’s priced like it.

Which zone to choose and what it costs

The stands around the circuit each have a letter. A is at the Sainte-Dévote bend, B by the Casino, E and the K stands on Quai Albert Ier, L, N, O and P around the Swimming Pool, T at the Cale de Halage and V at the Antony Noghes bend. The standing areas are Z, on Avenue J.-F. Kennedy, and the Rocher, below the Palace. To get your bearings before you choose, walk it bend by bend with the Monaco circuit on foot.

The official chart flags two things I’d check before the price. Every stand and the Rocher has a big screen, and the view of the pits is from L, L-GOLD, covered T and upper T. GOLD seats are moulded seats in the top rows of the K stands and L, the first four rows of B and part of V.

On price, Sunday runs from €200 on the Rocher to €800 in the cheapest stands (N, lower O and P) and €1,150 in B-GOLD. Packages take 10% off each day, GOLD included, and exist only for grandstands. A Saturday and Sunday package costs from €1,215 to €1,845, and three days from €1,440 to €2,115. Belvédère hospitality and the VIP boxes are requested by email from the Automobile Club and aren’t in this chart.

Children and wheelchair users

Under-5s need no ticket if they sit on an adult’s lap, although the Automobile Club itself says it’s best not to bring very young children close to the circuit. Children aged 6 to 15 pay half the full price from Friday to Sunday and get in free on Thursday, which makes that day a good family option. There’s no child rate in GOLD, the Belvédère, the boxes or the standing areas, and every child under 15 must be with an adult and carry ID. More ideas for going with them are in Monaco with kids.

For wheelchair users there are two reserved spaces in La Condamine, the X stand on Boulevard Albert Ier, through gate 4, and the Espace Chiron, an open-air area above the Noghes bend, through gate 3. On Sunday they cost €600 and €300, with no special rate for companions. A team of student volunteers helps people to and from the Espace Chiron, and access across the rest of town is gathered in accessible travel in Monaco.

Resale, fake websites and refunds

This is where I’d be strictest. The 2027 terms of sale ban reselling or transferring tickets, the Automobile Club accepts no responsibility for anything bought on the secondary market, and anyone arriving with an invalid ticket is refused entry without a refund. Formula 1’s official store, for its part, asks fans to be alert to fake websites, emails, texts and social media messages. My rule is simple. If the address isn’t monaco-grandprix.com or the official app, I don’t pay. The destination’s other traps are in scams and safety in Monaco.

Don’t count on getting your money back either. Outside the legal cooling-off period, the ACM only refunds if the race is cancelled, held behind closed doors or capacity is reduced, and it says explicitly that illness doesn’t count. It suggests cancellation insurance. What it does allow is an upgrade to an equal or higher category if seats remain.

E-ticket or paper ticket

When you buy online you choose the format. The e-ticket appears in your account or the app a few days before the race. The paper ticket arrives by courier in about 4 to 5 weeks, longer when sales first open, or can be collected at the box office with ID. I’d choose the e-ticket and keep an eye on the spam folder, as the Automobile Club itself asks. And on race day I’d travel light, with no suitcase or pushchair, because they aren’t allowed in the stands and there’s no left-luggage office in Monaco.
