The first Las Vegas Formula One Grand Prix in decades is being billed as a spectacle like no other — promising some of the fastest cars in the world barreling down the Las Vegas Strip at close to 200 miles per hour.

Seeing that spectacle won’t be cheap.

The lowest-price tickets — a three-day, $500 ticket that guaranteed standing room only and included food and drinks — were available only for a limited section of track around the Las Vegas Sphere, and sold out in minutes. In total, organizers have said the 3.8 mile-long track will hold up to 105,000 attendees.

The next level up, standard tickets for the grandstands ringing the back end of the track furthest from the Strip, run $2,000 each — a price that also encompasses all three days of the event, plus food and drinks.
