Abu Dhabi GP sellout assured as title battle heats up

The 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (December 4-7 at Yas Marina Circuit) is largely sold out, with high demand fueled by the dramatic Formula 1 drivers’ championship battle heading into the season finale.

Most general admission and grandstand tickets were exhausted about two months before the event, around early October, though limited hospitality packages and premium options remain available through official resellers. Reports from late September confirm the official site showed only a few spots left, and by mid-May, tickets were already described as “nearly sold out.”

The title fight adds to the frenzy: As of the United States Grand Prix (October 18-20), McLaren’s Oscar Piastri leads with 346 points, just 14 ahead of teammate Lando Norris (332), while Red Bull’s Max Verstappen sits third at 306—with five races remaining, including Abu Dhabi, where the champion could be crowned.

This tight three-way contest between teammates and a resurgent Verstappen has sparked massive interest, as McLaren chases both titles and Red Bull pushes back with upgrades.

Early bird promotions helped accelerate sales, but the finale’s prestige as F1’s traditional closer has made it one of the hottest tickets of the year.
