Can you finance or pay later for F1 tickets?

Attending a Formula 1 Grand Prix is a dream experience for many motorsport fans—but let’s be honest, it’s not always cheap. From travel and accommodation to ticket packages, the cost can add up quickly. To help make attending a race more financially accessible, some official F1 ticket providers now offer flexible payment plans that allow fans to spread the cost over time.

If you’ve been wondering whether it’s possible to finance or “pay later” for F1 tickets, here’s what you need to know.

‍

Flexible payment options

Gootickets – installment plans available

Gootickets, one of our major partners, offers split-payment options for many races. Depending on the time remaining before the event, you can either:

• Pay 50% at the time of booking and 50% the following month, or
• Spread the cost over up to six months, depending on the ticket type and lead time

This gives fans the flexibility to secure their seats early without having to cover the full price immediately.

Las Vegas Grand Prix – flexible deposits and final payments

For major events like the Las Vegas Grand Prix, official ticket providers allow customers to place a deposit to reserve tickets, with the balance due months before the event. For 2025, payments can be made in installments, with final balances due by August 2025.

This flexibility helps make one of F1’s most premium events more accessible to a broader audience.

‍

Do all providers offer this?

While many of Fastway1’s partners offer flexible financing, not every ticket provider does. For example, the Official F1 Ticket Store accepts all major credit cards but currently does not provide installment plans. That said, booking through a provider that supports credit cards may allow you to manage the cost over time through your bank or credit card company.

Things to keep in mind

Before opting for a pay-later or financing plan, keep these tips in mind:

• Always check the specific terms: Some payment plans may have a final payment deadline several weeks before race day.
• Look out for fees: Reputable providers like Gootickets and Fugare 1 typically offer interest-free options, but it’s always good to double-check.
• Book early: Payment plan options are often only available when booking well in advance of the event.

Plan your F1 experience with confidence

Thanks to some flexible payment options, attending an F1 race no longer requires a full upfront commitment. Whether you’re eyeing General Admission for a European Grand Prix or a Hospitality package in Las Vegas, financing options can make the experience more attainable.
