Going to the Monaco Grand Prix at Monte-Carlo

Hi all,
I’m planning a honeymoon through Spain and southern France next year with better half and would like recommendations on grandstands for the Monaco GP. We’ve been to Melbourne and Singapore together before and had a ball both times. Given the expense involved I want to ensure that we get the best possible seats with the budget available. I’ve been looking at various websites which are selling tickets but I have not found one where it’s possible to see which seats are still available and to choose your seats. I’m looking at Tribune K1 high / K2 high / K3 high for the Sunday, and Casino or T high for the Saturday. How do I actually order a ticket for the high section of particular stand? I did this before when organising tickets for Melbourne and Singapore. If I go ahead and order these tickets is there a risk that seats in those sections (high in K1/K2/K3) won’t be available?? It would be nice to know this before committing my hard earned $$. I’m treating this trip as a once-in-a-limetime opportunity so want to make it special.

Also, does anyone know of any “cheapish” terrace viewing along the start-finish straight for the Thursday?

I’ve booked a beach side apartment in Nice so we’ll be getting there by train each day. I assume the train to Monaco stops at / leaves from Gare de Nice Ville. Can someone please confirm? It’s about a 20 minute walk from the apartment.

We will also be in Barcelona for the Spanish GP 2 weeks before Monaco but will probably go for GA tickets there.

Comments and recommendations appreciated. Thanks in advance

I’ve read in the threads for previous years that it’s possible to see what seats are available by using a browser plugin (Silverlight?) on the ACM web site. This does not seem to work now. Does anyone know if this is a new “feature” for 2015 or am I doing something wrong?

Also, it looks as if Tribunes K1 and K2 have been sold out for months. Right now K3 has about 250 seats but most of the other K’s are above 400. Assuming one can actually select a higher seat and the remaining seats in K3 are relatively low, what would you recommend a low seat in K3 or high seats in K4-6, K7-8?

First time visit to Monaco but have done British GP several times. I bought a race day package at a Charity event which includes flights from Stansted and transfers but only General Admission. I’ve got options to upgrade to either seats in K or the terrace at Cafe de Paris. Any advice appreciatedn

Hello. We are going to the Grand Prix this year and have tickets for grandstand T upper on race day. Our friends won’t have the opportunity to get to Monaco for the race but are planning to get in after the race has ended to meet us. The first question is how easy or difficult will that be? Our main question is what goes on after the race? We ideally wnt to hang around and essentially have a fair few drinks and have a good time, is there plenty going on to keep everybody entertained without having to pay silly amounts to get into for instance the amber lounge. We were led to believe that there is almost a sort of street party atmosphere, can anybody shed any light on this? Cheers!

Yay! Well, my girlfriend and I just secured our 2015 qualifying and race tickets general admission for both days. What has surprised me is that despite Monaco being near the richest country in the world, the GP general admission tickets are among the cheapest on the calendar. I was in Monaco a couple of weeks after the GP last year just to walk around and spend the day there, and the place is awesome, and it would be amazing to stand right next to the track, but I know the hill will provide some excellent viewing and we’ll be able to see into the pitlane from there too.

I have a few questions for those who have been before!

What races are we likely to see during the weekend? I hear there’s Porsche Supercup, GP2 and FR3.5, is that correct? Sunday is just the F1 race though isnt it?

After the race, does it get really quiet? Is there much scope for general admission ticket holders to get down to the swimming pool and the Brasserie de Monaco bar? (really good food and their own brewed Monagasque beer there)

We’re staying in Nice for the whole weekend, and last time was able to get the train really easily in about 20 minutes, but I’m guessing it will be really packed, is it worth getting there super early each day to get in and get a good spot on the hill?

Can’t wait for this, most importantly for me it’s a great opportunity to drive my new Mini Cooper S down and get a run through the Route Des Grand Alpes, and on the way back we’re driving up through Southern Germany, any particular roads worth seeing on our way there or back?

Can’t wait!!

I am taking my hubby to this years Monaco GP – just a few questions if anyone can answer :-)

Is it possible to walk the track on the Friday afternoon after the racing?
Can we walk in the pit lane on the Friday?
We are planning to go and eat in the evenings in Monaco Ville – does anyone have any recommendations for restaurants? I have done some research and found a few we like the look of.
Lunches – what to most people do? Would love to just get French bread, pate and cheese to munch on ;-)

We are staying in Nice, and have tickets in T stand for Qualis and Upper K for the race – I am soooo excited!

Also if anyone has any great tips on making the most of this weekend I would be very grateful, thank you
