How to get British Grand Prix tickets
As we've said, general admission tickets are currently still available at the Silverstone website, and you can find tickets for the standing areas, Grandstand and Enclosures. Just remember that tickets will likely sell quickly when the F1 season starts up again.
If you miss out on getting the seats you want, or would like to add a bit of luxury to your visit, we'd suggest taking a look at hospitality. Prices obviously start a bit higher, but considering how much you're committing to spending anyway at least this way gives you comfortable seating and official perks like lounge access, exclusive viewing areas and additional food and drink.
The cheapest place that sells hospitality is official partner Motorsport Tickets, however you can also packages at Seat Unique and P1 Travel.
