The official places to buy: ACM and the F1 ticket store
The official places to buy are ACM's sales site, monaco-grandprix.com, and the official F1 ticket store, ticketing.formula1.com. ACM also sells through its official app and at its ticket office at 44 Rue Grimaldi in Monaco. General sale opened on 1 October 2026. The F1 store is run by Fever, and the seller of Monaco tickets there is a Fever group company.
The F1 store's prices are about 1.15 times ACM's official prices: a three-day ticket for A costs €1,710 from ACM and €1,965 from the F1 store. ACM's prices don't include shipping and administration fees, though, and neither ACM's purchase information nor its terms of sale give the amount, so the difference in what you finally pay is unknown. At ACM you pick your seat from a map as you book (you have to log in at the seat stage). The F1 store doesn't let you choose a seat. ACM's adult two-day (Saturday and Sunday) and three-day (Friday to Sunday) tickets cost the total of the day prices minus 10%.
The two don't sell the same range of tickets either. The F1 store has nothing for E, B-Gold, O low or V-Gold, and no child or wheelchair tickets appear in its sales data. On the other hand, it still has some tickets for days that ACM shows as full. ACM showed V as 100% full on Saturday, but the F1 store was still selling V for Saturday, marked as the last few. A, K1-K2, K Gold and the Rocher and Z standing areas couldn't be bought for any day at the F1 store. For Sunday, ACM showed A, K1, N, P and V all at least 98% full.
Start by looking for a seat on ACM's official ticket site. If the day you want at your stand is full there, try the official F1 ticket store. ACM has two areas for wheelchair users: Grandstand X on Boulevard Albert Ier, and Espace Chiron, an outdoor area overlooking the Noghès corner. ACM's sales page says these offers will be "available soon".
The main grandstands compared
Prices are ACM's three-day tickets (Friday to Sunday, one adult). "What you see" mostly follows the F1 store's description of each stand. ACM's price list marks a giant screen at every grandstand from A to V.
| Grandstand | Location | What you see | Roof | Pit-lane view (ACM symbol) | Three-day price (ACM) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Sainte-Dévote (Turn 1) | Turn 1, the tight uphill right-hander | Not mentioned | No | €1,710 |
| B | Casino (Turn 4) | Cars sweeping past the Casino and the Hôtel de Paris | Not mentioned | No | €1,890 (Gold €2,115) |
| E | Quai Albert Ier (on the map, between K and L on the harbour side) | Not sold by the F1 store, and no description is given | Not mentioned | No | €1,620 |
| K1-K2 | Quai Albert Ier (harbourfront) | A marina lined with superyachts | Not mentioned | No | €1,710 |
| K3-K6 | Quai Albert Ier (harbourfront) | Cars running along the harbour into the fast Turn 13-14 chicane | Not mentioned | No | €1,620 (K Gold €1,935) |
| L | Piscine Rainier III (Turns 15-16) | Cars powering out of the Piscine chicane | Not mentioned | Yes | €1,710 (Gold €1,935) |
| N | Piscine Panne Nord (harbour pontoon) | The Piscine chicane | Not mentioned | No | €1,440 |
| O | Piscine Plongeur (harbour pontoon) | From the upper rows of O high, two chicanes in quick succession | Not mentioned | No | High €1,620, low €1,440 |
| P | Piscine Panne Sud (harbour pontoon) | Cars heading from the Turn 13/14 exit into Turn 15/16 | Not mentioned | No | €1,440 |
| T | Cale de Halage (Piscine exit, before Rascasse) | T high is high enough to see the pit garages and pit stops. T low is close to the cars, but the pit lane is out of view | T covered only | Covered and high | Covered €1,935, high €1,710, low €1,530 |
| V | Antony Noghès (Turn 19, the final corner) | Right by Rascasse and the final corner. Monaco's smallest grandstand | Not mentioned | No | €1,710 (Gold €1,935) |
"Not mentioned" means neither ACM's price list nor the F1 store's descriptions mention a roof. The viewing guide site oversteer48 says neither A nor K has a roof. Gold seats are the top rows of K (K1, K2, K3 and K6), the top rows of L, the bottom four rows of B and one section of V. The table on ACM's sales page has some L prices below the price list (from €600 on Saturday and €850 on Sunday) but doesn't say which seats they're for.
No ticket, Gold included, gets you a pit walk.
Rocher and Z: standing room for less
Rocher and Z are standing areas without numbered places, and ACM sells them one day at a time. There's no two- or three-day discount, no child price and no Thursday ticket. Rocher costs €50 on Friday, €100 on Saturday and €200 on Sunday. Z costs €75, €150 and €300. Three days at Rocher come to €350, less than a quarter of the cheapest three-day grandstand ticket (€1,440).
The F1 store describes Rocher as a clifftop spot above Rascasse and the final corner, and ACM's price list marks a giant screen there. Z is on Avenue J-F. Kennedy, against the fence just before Turn 12, Tabac. It has no screen symbol.
The sprint weekend: two F1 sessions on Saturday
Friday has FP1 and Sprint Qualifying. On Saturday the Sprint starts at noon, followed by qualifying. The race is on Sunday, over 78 laps or a maximum of 120 minutes. Thursday 3 June has practice only, for F2, F3 and the Porsche Supercup, and ACM sells Thursday tickets for €40. A ticket is valid for every race that day. ACM's schedule says it's subject to change.
If you're only going for one day, Saturday (the Sprint plus qualifying) is cheaper than Sunday. At A it's €700 on Saturday and €950 on Sunday.
Getting there: take the train to Monaco-Monte Carlo
Roads are closed over the weekend, so the F1 store strongly recommends public transport. Trains run every 15 minutes from Nice and Ventimiglia, and the trip from Menton takes 11 minutes. For the journey from Nice, the F1 store says about 20 minutes and ACM says about 30. From the station it's about a 10-minute walk to the start-finish straight, and the station exits are close to the grandstand entrances.
Your entrance depends on your stand. ACM's map gives Gate 8 (Rue Grimaldi) for A, K1 to K3 and Z, Gate 9 (Allée des Boulingrins) for B, Gate 7 (Rue Princesse Antoinette) for E and K4 to K6, Gate 5 (Square Gastaud) for L, Gate 3 (Rue Saige) for T, Gate 2 (Avenue du Port) for N, O, P and V, and Gate 1 (Avenue de la Porte Neuve) for Rocher.
By bus, the 80 LER runs from Nice airport to Menton via Monaco (€20.50). If you're driving, the Salines and Saint Antoine car parks at the entrance to Monaco charge a flat €10 a day from Thursday to Sunday (for entry between 6am and 6pm), and a free shuttle bus runs from Salines. ACM's travel information doesn't yet give details of extra trains or road closures for 2027.
Entry rules: named tickets, re-entry and bags
ACM prints the buyer's name on each ticket, and the F1 store's terms say each ticket admits one named person. Expect ID checks and bag searches at the entrance.
You can leave your grandstand and come back. Show your ticket to the staff and have it scanned each time you go out and each time you come back in.
You can't take glass bottles, cans, pets, bulky items (suitcases, prams, bikes, scooters, helmets, camera tripods and so on) or anything that could injure someone into the stands. On bags, ACM's documents don't say the same thing. The terms and conditions of sale list "bags and luggage" among the banned items, while the information page gives suitcases as an example of bulky items. Neither wording settles whether a small backpack is allowed. There's no left-luggage office or locker, and ACM strongly advises you not to bring luggage.
ACM tickets come on paper (posted, or collected at 44 Rue Grimaldi with ID) or as e-tickets with a QR code. If you can't show your e-ticket, you'll be turned away. You get a refund if the event is cancelled, held behind closed doors, or limited in capacity so that you can't attend. Illness doesn't count, and ACM no longer sells cancellation insurance. If you bought online or by another remote method to attend yourself, you can ask to cancel within 14 days of purchase. This doesn't apply to tickets bought in the period from 14 days before the first day of the event up to that day, or at the ticket office. If the dates change, you can also cancel for a refund within 14 days of ACM's email telling you.
With children, buy from ACM
At ACM, 6- to 15-year-olds pay half the adult price from Friday to Sunday and go free on Thursday. Children aged 0 to 5 don't need a ticket if they sit on an adult's lap. There are no child prices for Gold seats or standing areas, and the multi-day discount doesn't apply on top of child prices. The cheapest are N, O low and P, at €275 for a child on Saturday and €400 on Sunday.
ACM advises against bringing children under 3 and strongly recommends ear protection at any age. ACM's documents disagree on the age at which children must be with an adult: the terms say under 16, the information page under 15. The terms also require under-16s to be with an adult holding a ticket for the same stand or area, and to have written permission from a parent or legal guardian. Take 15-year-olds with an adult too, and make sure children carry ID and the written permission.
Don't buy from resale sites
Under ACM's terms of sale, tickets can't be transferred or resold, and resale without ACM's prior consent is banned. If you got a ticket in breach of the terms, you'll be refused entry and won't get a refund. ACM takes no responsibility for tickets sold anywhere other than its own sales site and resellers it has authorised. The F1 store's terms also say tickets obtained in breach of its rules can be cancelled or their holders refused entry. Buy from ACM or the F1 store.
