One day at COTA

Advertised day prices start at $109.13 Friday, $271.60 Saturday and $249 Sunday. Select your viewing area with the seller to see its price and conditions. A single-day ticket covers only that day.

Thursday Grand PrixView

Thursday admission starts at $20. Holders of three-day race or hospitality tickets purchased directly from COTA can claim a separate free Thursday ticket. COTALAND admission costs extra; arrange Thursday transport separately.

Hospitality

Compare The Terrace, Guest House, Club SI and Paddock Club inclusions. The Terrace charges separately for alcohol and premium parking. Club SI and Paddock Club require an availability enquiry; Champions Club is sold out.

Williams supporters

The Williams package starts at $747 for Turn 4 sections 1–2, with a cap, flag and merchandise discount. A driver meeting is a sweepstakes opportunity, not guaranteed access; confirm your exact seat and level.

Prices are per person and subject to availability. Check taxes, fees and exact seating before payment. A saved choice does not reserve a ticket.

Waterloo Park shuttle

Reach Waterloo Park using the departure instructions on your pass. The downtown service arrives on the Grand Plaza side of COTA; continue to the entrance and seat shown on your race ticket. Advertised from $49; select the date and pass duration before comparing totals.

Travis County Expo Center shuttle

Arrange travel from your hotel to the Expo Center. The 2026 parking map places this arrival at McAngus; follow the signed tram connection to Grand Plaza and confirm boarding instructions with staff. Advertised from $34; select the date and pass duration before comparing totals.

Park ’n Ride

Follow the origin and approach on your parking pass. The COTA arrival is near Turn 11, separate from the downtown and Expo services. Check the parking seller for the correct lot, days and shuttle inclusion.

McAngus rideshare

Follow the McAngus drop-off instructions in your booking. Rideshare cannot use the restricted section of COTA Boulevard. Take the complimentary tram from North McAngus to Grand Plaza, then follow your ticket’s entrance instructions. Price and pickup availability depend on your booking.

Race admission and transport are separate purchases. Downtown shuttles arrive at Grand Plaza; Expo and rideshare arrivals use McAngus with an onward tram connection. Follow the instructions for your own pass.

Hospitality guests

The Guest House and Club SI include Friday and Saturday on-track concert upgrades. The Terrace includes a Super Stage standing upgrade; dedicated concert entry costs extra. Check your package before buying another upgrade.

Getting home

Friday and Saturday return shuttles finish 60 minutes after the music ends. Allow time to reach the correct queue from the stage. Confirm Sunday’s final return before staying for Alesso.

All times are local to Austin. Exact Maroon 5 and Post Malone start times are still to be announced. Daytime listings show start times only. For race tickets bought from another seller, confirm concert admission before travelling; checkpoint admission may cost extra. A concert upgrade alone does not include F1 admission. You need a race ticket valid for the concert day.

South Austin and Driftwood

Start with the Wildflower Center, then continue to the original Salt Lick. Pre-purchase the garden and arrange a car or driver for both directions. Keep one driver alcohol-free. The Blanton is the city fallback if weather or transport makes the regional plan unsuitable.

Lockhart park and barbecue

Reserve Lockhart State Park, walk before the heat of the day and choose Black’s or Kreuz as the main meal. A second smokehouse works as a shared tasting stop, not another full lunch. Keep the Monday plan here: both restaurants and the park publish Monday opening.

Johnson City and the Hill Country

On Wednesday–Saturday, pair Science Mill with the nearby NPS visitor centre. Pedernales Falls is a separate outdoor anchor: reserve entry and replace part of the museum day rather than stacking all three visits.

Family and indoor fallback

Science Mill is the family-focused indoor option from Wednesday to Saturday. The Blanton is the central Austin fallback Tuesday–Sunday and is closed Monday. Check the selected date before cancelling a road plan.

Cars, drivers and alcohol

These extensions need a pre-booked car, rental vehicle or driver. Agree the pickup, final Austin drop-off and any waiting time in advance. Do not combine tasting or drinks with driving.

Protect the race weekend

Keep Friday–Sunday clear for COTA. Use Monday–Wednesday after the race for extensions, or add them before Thursday. Do not place a substantial regional day between a late concert return and an early circuit departure.

Opening hours are ordinary schedules, not a guarantee for every race-week date. Reserve state-park entry, recheck alerts and confirm every regional return before departure.
