Yas Marina Circuit today announced that record numbers for this year’s FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX were guaranteed with less than ten percent of tickets left to sell.
Following the weekend’s racing at the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas the F1 championship battle between the two Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg remains unresolved. With an unprecedented double points available for the Abu Dhabi race, the two will go head to head in an historic showdown at the final race of the season at Yas Marina Circuit on the 23rd November.
In addition to the motorsports action, Superstar DJ Armin Van Buuren, R&B giant Pharrell Williams and legendary live performers The Who are all confirmed to play the after-race concerts. Egyptian movie star Tamer Hosny, celebrity singer and award-winning Lebanese actress Carole Samaha, Emirati singer Faiz Al Saeed, and Palestinian Mohammed Assaf of ‘Arab Idol’ fame have also been confirmed to entertain race-goers at the Du Arena on 20th November.
Of this year’s largest ever allocation of 60,000 tickets – an increase of 5,000 on last year’s sell-out weekend – there are less than 10 per cent remaining. The circuit reports that tickets for the Paddock Club, Abu Dhabi Hill, Main and West Grandstands have already sold out, with all remaining tickets expected to sell out soon. Tickets are selling fast across remaining Grandstand tickets in North, South and Marina as well as in new products such as Marina Boxes and the Grand Prix Brunch.
“This year, the appetite for F1 tickets has been unprecedented,” said Al Tareq Al Ameri, CEO of Yas Marina Circuit. “As we approach race weekend, there is less than 10 per cent left, even with our increase of 5,000 extra tickets for 2014. With the F1 Driver’s Championship coming down to the last race at Yas Marina Circuit, as well as the incredible entertainment programme we have lined up, it won’t be much longer until we sell out.
“Those wishing to join us for what promises to be the biggest and best F1 event yet should purchase today before it’s too late. Don’t miss out on your chance to enjoy this fantastic racing and entertainment spectacle,” he adds.
