ENTERING THE CIRCUIT

Please expect your luggage to be checked at the entrance. See what items you can take with you and what you should leave at home. Whether it's fan merchandise or food and drink. We don't recommend trying to sneak items past the organisers. If you are found with a prohibited item, it will be confiscated and disposed of. In extreme cases, you may even be banned from entering.

Tickets

• You can only enter the circuit with a valid ticket. You can either have it electronically or printed on paper. Our tip is clear - keep your ticket on your mobile phone and be ready to show it. However, it is a good idea to have a backup printed version. If everything goes well,  you won't even have to take it out of your pocket.
• We recommend buying your tickets online. It takes less than two minutes and you’re ready to go. Check out the best prices here, but don't wait too long, some tickets are already sold out! You can choose from seated, general admission, or natural grandstand tickets with no seat reservations.
• Each code is valid for one entry. Do not send your ticket to anyone you do not trust, otherwise they may misuse it. If you leave the circuit for part of the day, be sure to have your ticket re-tagged by security. If you do not do so, you will not be able to return to the circuit on the same day. The ticket is not linked to a specific user. Therefore, more than one person can use the same ticket on the circuit on the same day.

Parking

During Formula 1 events at the Bahrain International Circuit, parking arrangements are efficiently managed to handle large crowds. 

There are several designated parking areas in very close proximity to the entry gates. The good news is that if you are a 3-day ticket holder, you can park there for free! If you are a 1-day/2-day ticket holder, you will probably have to pay a fee on the site.

Opening hours of the circuit

In 2024 spectators were able to access the circuit from 11:00 AM on free practice day (Friday in 2025), from 10:00 AM on qualifying day (Saturday in 2025) and from 10:00 AM on race day (Sunday in 2025).
