What to know about West Premium at Yas Marina Circuit
West Premium offers a covered, numbered seat overlooking one of the most dramatic moments in Formula 1: the approach to the finish line along the circuit's longest straight. You will see cars accelerating hard towards the grid and crossing the finish, as well as the unique run-off area positioned beneath the grandstand itself. A video wall supplements the live racing action, ensuring you catch all the key moments throughout the race weekend.
Your 3-day ticket unlocks experiences beyond the track. Thursday brings an exclusive pit lane walk, giving you rare access to the team garages and cars. Across the weekend, you can enjoy the after-race concerts scheduled for each day. Entry to two of Abu Dhabi's premier attractions, the Louvre Abu Dhabi and Qasr Al Watan Palace, is also included, along with access to one of the Yas Island theme parks such as Ferrari World. The weekend concludes with the celebratory end-of-season fireworks spectacular.
If you choose a 1-day or 2-day ticket instead, the after-race concert access applies only to the specific day or days of your booking, and theme park and cultural venue access may be subject to different terms. Check your booking confirmation for details relevant to your ticket length.
