Fans have been left furious after missing out on F1 75 season launch event tickets following a lengthy digital queue, only to see them up for resale for prices as steep as £1,198. F1 announced the revolutionary new pre-season event on Tuesday and tickets went on sale on Friday morning at 10am GMT. Unfortunately for the legions of fans hoping to attend, demand greatly outstripped supply.
The event, which is set to take place at the O2 Arena in London on February 18, 2025, gives fans a rare chance to see all 20 drivers and all 10 new liveries up close and personal. Noting his excitement, F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali said: “For the first time we will bring together our fans, all 20 superstars of our sport and some very special guests to officially kick off our new season and mark our 75th year of racing. "With 2025 set to be a classic season following all the drama so far in 2024, this is a fantastic opportunity for fans of all ages to experience up-close the incredible entertainment spectacle that is Formula One.
” Unfortunately, many fans won't be able to access the event firsthand. With limited capacity at the O2 Arena and intense demand for tickets, many inevitably missed out. A large chunk of tickets that were snapped up made their way onto official resale sites such as Viagogo, where Express Sport witnessed them being resold for as much as £1,198.
The cheapest resale tickets at the time of publication were listed for £184 with those on the lower tier of the O2 Arena ranging from £246 to the aforementioned £1,198.
