In the lavishing city of Las Vegas, every form of entertainment is a requirement and captures the attention of every individual, regardless of the budget. Therefore, there was a widespread assumption that the attendance at the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix would be huge. However, reality painted an entirely different scenario.
However, recently, the ticket prices revealed for the three-day event have exceeded everyone’s expectations. The audience, including both locals and visitors, expressed their neglect, claiming that the price is unfair even for those living in the city.

The initial cost for General Admission tickets is set at $500, which includes “all-inclusive food and non-alcoholic beverages.” The General Admission is situated within the MSG Sphere segment of the track, affording a view of turns 5–9.

Las Vegas GP attendance to take massive hit
The Las Vegas GP, only a week away, was hyped by many F1 enthusiasts globally. Formula One has invested over $500,000,000 in organizing a race in Las Vegas, expecting that the event will collect substantial profits for them. Despite the hype surrounding the event, a report from GPBlog implies that the Las Vegas GP might disappoint in terms of the number of people that will be attending the show. The Dutch Sensation, Max Verstappen, has already shown his nonchalant behaviour towards the GP, a while ago.
As per the Las Vegas Review-Journal, only 105,000 people are expected to be present in the city during the race weekend. A significantly smaller population of people would be present in the grandstands, with the newspaper claiming that only 20,000 to 30,000 people hold grandstand tickets.
If all of the estimations are proven to be correct, this would unfortunately label Las Vegas as one of the least attended races on the 2023 F1 Calendar.
