Baku City Circuit (BCC) today launched its online ticket sales for the 2017 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix via www.bakucitycircuit.com. The 2017 Formula 1 calendar - announced earlier this week by FIA - saw the Baku street race pushed back from its provisional date to the weekend of June 23rd - 25th, thereby avoiding another clash with the 24 Hours Le Mans race.
Furthermore, after much speculation, the race weekend’s event title has officially been changed from ‘Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe’ to ‘Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix’.
To mark the beginning of the ticket sales process, BCC is offering fans a limited supply of special ‘early bird’ discounts of up to 30% on the cost of all 4-day tickets. This exciting offer will be available until January 31st 2017, after which the cost of tickets will revert back to their original price.
A 4-day ticket includes grandstand access to the three days of racing as well as all accompanying entertainment offerings but also to a special Pit Lane Walk on Thursday 22nd June.
BCC’s Executive Director, Arif Rahimov, welcomed today’s announcement: “I want to use this opportunity to encourage everyone to act fast and book their tickets for the 2017 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix as soon as possible while this amazing offer still lasts. The success of the 2016 race weekend has only strengthened our commitment to delivering a bigger and better Grand Prix than before and continuing to grow Baku as one of the best race weekends on the F1 calendar. We can’t wait to celebrate with you again in Baku next June!”
In addition, he also commented on the reasons behind the change of the official event title to ‘Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix’: “For our inaugural event, we wanted to position our country as a part of Europe, our race as a European one and also to showcase our European mentality to the world and demonstrate our country’s openness to foreign visitors who can easily visit and find comfort here. We now feel it is the right time to rename our race to the ‘Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix’. After last summer’s race, many F1 fans discovered that our society is closely linked to the European mentality but now we feel it is the right time to draw attention to the fact that the 2017 race is also set in Azerbaijan and will be named thereafter accordingly.”
A variety of ticket options are on offer for the 2017 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, including various packages for the Absheron Grandstand, which will offer fans some fantastic views of the start/finish lane, as well as a wide range of different Grandstand seating options, located at various corners and straights along the track.
In addition to the discounted 4-day ticket offering, special ‘Junior’ tickets at the Khazar and Bulvar Grandstands for children aged 2-15 will also be made available at reduced prices during this limited timeframe to families travelling to the event together.
Daily Roaming Tickets will also be on offer to those preferring to watch the action from different locations on the track on various standing areas and podiums.
Discounted 4-day ticket prices range from AZN150 – AZN550 while the daily Roaming Tickets will range from AZN60 - AZN150 (cost in US$ will be determined by currency rate on day of purchase).
With only 2 months to avail of this special discount offer to witness the world’s greatest race cars once again speed through the streets of this stunning city, the message from Baku City Circuit to the world’s F1 audience is very simple: get your early bird tickets while you still can and join us in Baku in 2017!
