Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026 tickets: grandstands, prices and the VIP yacht option
Over a decade in luxury hospitality, with Odyssia hosting guests trackside at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix since 2025.
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix closes the 2026 Formula 1 season at Yas Marina Circuit, with the fan programme from Thursday 3 December and the cars on track from Friday 4 to Sunday 6 December. This guide explains how race tickets work, which grandstand to choose, and when a VIP yacht hospitality package at Yas Marina is the better way to watch.
Where to buy Abu Dhabi Grand Prix tickets
Race tickets are sold by the organiser through the official website, abudhabigp.com, and its authorised partners. Odyssia does not sell race tickets: we sell hospitality on superyachts moored trackside in Yas Marina, which is a different product, explained below.

Marina Grandstand or a yacht in the marina?
The Marina Grandstand looks across the track to the superyachts moored in Yas Marina. A yacht hospitality package puts you on the other side of that view: on the deck of a 65-metre superyacht at Berth 40, with shade, air conditioning, gourmet dining and free-flowing Champagne, DJ sets, live race coverage on screens and after-race concert access, from 1 pm to 2 am.

For a team, clients or a big celebration, a private superyacht for the full weekend hosts 20 to 200 guests. See how to watch the Grand Prix from a yacht, the corporate F1 hospitality packages and the 2026 schedule and concerts.
Hotel near the circuit or a yacht?
The hotels on Yas Island, including the one built over the track, sell out early for race weekend. With a private superyacht you can host your guests in the marina all weekend and, depending on the yacht, stay on board overnight.
