Singapore ticket sales ahead of 2011

Robust sales throughout the 77-day early bird phase that started on 3 March 2011 saw 47% of Grandstand tickets taken up and 50% of 3-Day Walkabout (Zone 4 and Premier) tickets for the 2011 FORMULA 1 SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX sold. 

“We had targeted to sell one third of the Grandstand and Walkabout inventory during the early bird phase, and we’re delighted to have exceeded the target," said Michael Roche, Executive Director, Singapore GP. “With over 110 days to go and seeing such a great start, we are looking forward to another sell-out crowd this year based on past selling trends."  

Linkin Park confirmed as headline act. All ticket holders including Zone 4 patrons will be able to access the largest entertainment stage at the Padang featuring a world-class entertainment lineup over three days. Californian rock band Linkin Park has been confirmed as the headlining act on race day, 25 September 2011. The band, currently on a sell-out European tour, has sold over 50 million albums worldwide and has won two Grammy Awards. Full details of the complete S$5 million entertainment line-up and day-to-day performance schedule will be announced in the coming months. 

Low Price One-Day Walkabout Tickets. Singapore GP has this week released single-day Zone 4 Walkabout and wheelchair tickets with prices starting from S$38 (GBP20). Now that the early bird phase is over, all tickets will be sold at the regular price until the race week.
