Malaysian fans get local ticket rates

For Malaysians, MyKad holders can purchase tickets at special local rates, making the race considerably more accessible compared to the international prices.

Grandstand / Area Experience Price for 3 days
Main Grandstand (MGS) Seated & Rooftop RM2,083.40
K1 Grandstand Seated & Rooftop RM1,386
F Grandstand Seated & Rooftop RM1,291.40

These rates are exclusively available to valid MyKad holders. A verification process will be carried out, and tickets purchased under the local-rate category may be invalidated if they do not meet the eligibility requirements.

G Hillstand is also exclusively available to Malaysian citizens with a valid MyKad, offering the most affordable three-day ticket option for the weekend.

Which grandstand should you choose?

If being right in the middle of the race-day spectacle is the priority, Main Grandstand puts fans along the start/finish straight, with views of the pit lane, team garages and plenty of pre- and post-race action. It is also sheltered, which is a useful bonus considering Malaysia’s unpredictable weather.

For fans who want to see the chaos unfold from lights out, K1 Grandstand sits around Turns 1 and 2, giving a front-row view of the opening lap and the hard braking into the first corner. It is arguably one of the more exciting spots for watching overtakes and early-race battles.

Meanwhile, F Grandstand overlooks the technical Turns 7 and 8, where drivers have to balance precision and speed through the tight double-apex section. It is a good pick for those who enjoy watching the cars being pushed through corners rather than simply chasing top speed.

For a more budget-friendly experience, B and C Hillstands offer open-air grass viewing areas. B Hillstand overlooks Turns 12 to 14 towards the end of the lap, while C Hillstand offers views of Turns 9 to 11 and the high-speed back straight. C is partly covered, while B is fully open air.

Finally, G Hillstand is the most affordable option, with panoramic views of the circuit and access to off-track entertainment. However, this option is only available to Malaysian citizens with a valid MyKad.

With F1 finally returning to Sepang, there is a pretty wide range of ways to experience the weekend, whether the priority is premium grandstand views, strategic overtaking spots or simply getting through the gates without blowing the budget.
