ENTERING THE CIRCUIT

Please expect your luggage to be checked at the entrance. See what items you can take with you and what you should leave at home. Whether it's fan merchandise or food and drink. We don't recommend trying to sneak items past the organisers. If you are found with a prohibited item, it will be confiscated and disposed of. In extreme cases, you may even be banned from entering.

Tickets

• You can only enter the circuit with a valid ticket. All tickets are digital and will be accessible via the Lusail Tickets app closer to the event, including updated venue access details and event information.
• We recommend buying your tickets online. It takes less than two minutes and you’re ready to go. Check out the best prices here, but don't wait too long, some tickets are already sold out! You can choose from seated, general admission, or natural grandstand tickets with no seat reservations.
• Each code is valid for one entry. Do not send your ticket to anyone you do not trust, otherwise they may misuse it. If you leave the circuit for part of the day, be sure to have your ticket re-tagged by security. If you do not do so, you will not be able to return to the circuit on the same day. The ticket is not linked to a specific user. Therefore, more than one person can use the same ticket on the circuit on the same day.

Parking

To optimise your visit to the Lusail International Circuit (LIC), it’s wise to set out early, especially considering the special traffic measures that will be enforced during event days. Anticipate delays due to heavy traffic near the circuit and the parking zones. 

While there is complimentary parking, availability is limited, so to alleviate traffic volume, event-goers are urged to use public transportation or consider carpooling. Those in need of assistance due to mobility impairments can find specially allocated parking spots, ensuring compliance with disability parking permits. 

To reach the Lusail International Circuit, spectators should follow the official event signage and traffic guidance issued for the specific event year. Access routes and permitted roads may vary depending on traffic management measures implemented by the authorities.

Visitors are strongly advised to rely on the official event channels and the Qatar GP app for the most accurate and up-to-date navigation instructions. The app’s Maps feature allows you to enter your ticket details and provides recommended parking routes based on current access regulations, helping to ensure a smooth arrival on the day of the event.

Opening hours of the circuit

During previous editions of the event at the Lusail International Circuit, spectators were generally granted access to the venue in the afternoon hours, with the circuit remaining open into the evening, especially on race day.

For the 2026 event, the official opening and closing times of the circuit will be confirmed closer to the race weekend. Visitors are encouraged to follow official event communications for the most up-to-date information before attending.
