From our clients...

We're proud of our 'excellent' score on Trustpilot. Take a look at some of the reviews our clients have left us following their Formula One holidays.

 

"The most amazing experience at the 2025 Abu Dhabi F1 GP"

We had a wonderful experience at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix. The team at Spectate are second to none and would highly recommend this company. From the initial booking to arriving at our destination airport where we were greeted by the local team and taken to our private transfer, through to the hosts, Tom and Matt, who were also staying at our hotel and the caterers providing a wide range of fine food and beverages each day.

"F1 at Abu Dhabi"

We just came back from the F1 at Abu Dhabi and experienced a truly memorable extended weekend. Tom and Matt were excellent hosts and even managed to organize Lando to win the Championship!

"Exceptional Service and Unforgettable Experience!"

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with Spectate and I must say, the entire experience exceeded every expectation! From the moment I booked my trip to the moment we landed back at Heathrow.

The level of service, seamless logistics, attention to detail, and overall hospitality was simply outstanding. Spectate made what could have been a stressful trip into a seamless, luxurious experience. If you're planning to attend the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix or any other major event, I highly recommend booking through them—you won't be disappointed.

"Abu Dhabi F1!"

We have recently returned from a special surprise birthday present for my husband at F1 Abu Dhabi. The organisation of the trip from start to finish by Emma, with great product knowledge and attention to detail was superb, backed up by Jimmy and Simon in Abu Dhabi, who made our trip so smooth and special. Spectate Hospitality Suite was great, would highly recommend Spectate.

When will I receive my F1 tickets?

Your F1 tickets will be transferred to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix App.

If you're attending the Grand Prix, you'll need to download the app from the Apple Store or Google Play Store. (The app contains a regenerative QR code, which must be shown at the circuit gate each day. Printouts and screenshots won't be accepted at the circuit.)

After you receive your ticket through the app, you'll need to log in to the app with the email address provided to us on your pre-departure form.

The app will not only contain your F1 tickets for the incredible race weekend, but also a wealth of information about on and off-track action over the weekend plus details on the concerts.

Once we have transferred your tickets, you'll receive an email from noreply@AbuDhabiGP.com advising that your tickets are now available in your app. If you haven't already downloaded the app by this point, you'll be reminded in good time by our team. Then it's time to sit back, relax and wait for the day to come!

 


How will I get to the circuit?

We will arrange for your transfer to pick you up from your hotel. The Marina Grandstand sits in front of a drop-off point, where (if you've upgraded) you can easily access our Platinum Hospitality Suite ready for the race!

 


Who will I see at the 2026 Abu Dhabi concerts?

Full details of the headline acts have not yet been confirmed for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concerts. Past performances from the likes of Beyoncé, Lionel Richie, Paul McCartney, Usher, Eminem and Kings of Leon give you an idea of what to expect in 2026.

The concerts at this iconic event are one of the main attractions of the F1 and are not to be missed! As the largest outdoor venue in the Middle East, Etihad Park has excellent facilities to keep you entertained, including food trucks and bars serving alcohol.

How will I select my seats?

We'll select the best Grandstand seats for you ensuring your party can all sit together.

If you choose to watch the action from our Platinum Hospitality Suite, you'll be on our viewing balcony with fellow F1 fans soaking up all the action at the Yas Marina Circuit. (You'll still need to download the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix App to receive your tickets for this option.)

 

 


Who will win the Grand Prix?
