Following a delayed release of public sales on Tuesday due to a Ticketmaster meltdown, race day tickets sold out in less than an hour.
The general public onsale began at noon AEDT today with general admission and grandstand allocations for both Saturday and Sunday exhausted.
Limited tickets are still available for Thursday and Friday.
High demand was expected from organisers after posting record crowds since F1’s return to Melbourne following the pandemic.
This year’s event attracted 452,055 across its four days, an increase of almost 7500 on the previous year.
Next year’s event is expected to top those numbers with Albert Park’s capacity being marginally increased.
That, coupled with increased pricing, is a means of offsetting the rising cost of the race.
