The 2017 Formula 1® season is back, and the introduction of new rules governing the design of cars promises one of the most exciting seasons ever.
F1® will enter a new era with
lower, wider and faster cars making this season possibly the fastest
ever and most spectacular for fans to watch. In addition, the leadership
of the sport’s new owners Liberty Media will witness a new era of
excitement and engagement with F1® fans around the world.
With all this excitement around the new F1®
season, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix continues to offer its incredible
array of ticket packages available to suit fans, families and
entertainment seekers for the FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND
PRIX.
All
ticket categories for 2017 have been maintained at 2016 prices on
established favourites such as Abu Dhabi Hill and the array of five
Grandstand options, and this year will see the ‘GP Parks Pass’ return
and the new ‘Kids Go Free’ package introduced, providing additional
flexibility and value.
With
each three-day adult Grandstand ticket purchased, ‘Kids Go Free’. This
means that one child under 12 will get free Friday entry to that
Grandstand, as well as enjoying free access to Yas Waterworld and
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. This option will bring the whole family
together to celebrate the region’s biggest and best sporting and
entertainment weekend.
The
‘GP Parks Pass’ is a three-day package that allows unlimited access to
Yas Island Parks – Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and Yas Waterworld – on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This special three-day ticket package
starts from AED1,120 (for Abu Dhabi Hill) and will only be available for
purchase until 31st May from all ticket outlets. Please visit the website for more details of all ‘GP Parks Pass’ options.
Following Sunday’s thrilling F1®
season opener in Melbourne that saw Sebastian Vettel take his first
chequered flag since Singapore 2015 and the first win for Ferrari in
Australia in 10 years,
with Lewis Hamilton finishing second after his pole position start, Yas
Marina Circuit has announced that tickets are now on sale and revealed
big savings for fans who buy their tickets early.
Those booking before 31st
May will be eligible for a 30 per cent discount, it was revealed today.
Corporate clients will also be rewarded with discounts for early
booking of the Circuit’s wide range of hospitality solutions available
during race weekend, with new products announced.
With the 2017 FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX on November 24-26
confirmed as the final race of the 2017 season, fans will not want to
miss out on the climax to what promises to be the most exciting
championship battle in years.
People from more than 170 countries will be drawn to Abu Dhabi in November to learn which team has adjusted best to the new F1®
technical regulations that could make this season’s cars the fastest in
the history of the sport. As the last race on the calendar, fans will
witness first-hand whether Mercedes will again reign supreme or if any
of the other nine teams competing across 20 Grands Prix have built on
their pre-season promise and can close the gap.
Al
Tareq Al Ameri, CEO of Yas Marina Circuit, said: “Since our inaugural
race in 2009, I’m yet to experience as much anticipation for a Formula 1®
season. The new technical rules haven’t just changed the appearance of
the cars – they have made them faster and much more challenging to
drive. As we just saw in Melbourne, the new rules will mean a whole new
experience for everyone attending the 2017 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.”
Mohammad
Al Bulooki, Executive Vice President Commercial, Eithad Airways, said:
“As title sponsor of the FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX
since the inaugural race in 2009, the F1® race has been an
incredibly important event for the Etihad Airways’ brand and for Abu
Dhabi as a destination. Etihad Airways will again activate its global
marketing resources to promote this thrilling race to ensure, alongside
its partners, that visitors have a truly memorable experience.”
Away
from the track, ticket holders are guaranteed a packed four days of
entertainment that kicks off with a return of ‘Super Thursday’ following
its successful introduction last year. In addition to the Pit Lane
Walk, the day will see the first performance by world-class musical
artists at the daily After-Race concert, as well as the opening of the
Main Oasis area.
Yasalam,
the music and entertainment festival, is returning for the ninth year.
Produced by FLASH Entertainment, the festival will feature a range of
performances from A-list musical artists across race weekend.
CEO of FLASH Entertainment, John Lickrish, commented on the 2017 return: “Yasalam
marked the start of the FLASH journey. Each year we work to raise the
bar of entertainment and provide a programme that moves, inspires and
thrills audiences both here and from abroad. Now in its ninth year,
Yasalam has reached our vision as a shining example of diverse
entertainment that Abu Dhabi offers and we are proud to continue its
evolution and ensure it provides something for everyone. With the 2017
edition of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix sitting at centre of action on Yas
Island, Yasalam will have four days of non-stop exhilaration at its
fingertips, and with world-class acts and loved community events still
to be announced, there’s much more excitement to come.”
