After not being held for two years during the pandemic, F1 fans returned in a big way for the last two editions of the Canadian Grand Prix, with record crowds attending in 2023,despite the challenging weather conditions. Increased interest in Formula 1 in North America, coupled with affordable prices compared to the races in the USA means that demand for tickets at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is expected to remain very high in 2024. We recommend securing your access as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
Ticket prices have increased slightly for 2024, but this is off a low base. Canada remains one of the most affordable races to attend on the entire F1 calendar, especially for those traveling from the USA. Offering close proximity to the lively city of Montreal, affordable tickets and the prospect of exciting racing, the Canadian Grand Prix remains popular for a reason.

Grandstand 1
Grandstand 1 is located on the main start/finish straight, opposite the pits. These seats are good for first timers and anyone who wants to watch the action in the pits, plus the race build up and podium celebrations. If you are after on-track action, choose seats in the opening Senna Chicane instead. F1® Experiences Live | Grandstand 1 packages include a 3-day reserved seat in Grandstand 1 plus exciting Thursday activities at the track
Senna Curves Grandstands
The two grandstands on the outside of the Senna curve offer some of the best viewing opportunities at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. There is always lots of action at this corner, particularly at the start of the race. If you get a good seat, you will be able to see the cars from the start finish line up until they disappear around turn 3. We recommend choosing a seat as close to the other grandstand as possible – low section numbers for Stand 11, high section numbers for Stand 12. This gives you the best view of the main straight while also providing a very good view down to turn 3.
Grandstand 11
The high section numbers in Grandstand 11 can have their views obstructed by the trees inside the Senna curve, so it’s better to choose a low section number in this stand.
Grandstand 12
The low section numbers in Grandstand 12 can have views obstructed by the hospitality suites – if you choose a low section in Grandstand 12, get a high row seat so you will see all the action.
Platine Grandstand
We also recommend seats in the Platine Grandstand on the inside of the opening corners. Platine is the only covered grandstand at the circuit and always sells out quickly despite being the highest priced grandstand in Canada.
Hairpin Grandstands
The grandstands on the hairpin are a good choice and the ‘stadium atmosphere’ is awesome. Given the choice, we’d buy a seat in Grandstand 15, which gives the best front-on views of this important corner. Bonus at the end of the day: thehairpingrandstands are the closest to the metro station.
Grandstand 15
Grandstand 15faces the hairpin so all the action is in front of you and it is possible to see a long way down the entry and exit straights. It is however separated from the track by a gravel trap, so you are a bit further away from the action and noise.
Grandstand 21
Closest to the metro station, Grandstand 21 is situated on the entry to the chicane. Views from the lower rows, which are very close to the track, are limited by the new catch fencing. Higher rows in this stand have unobstructed views but are further from the track.
Lance Stroll Grandstand
Lance Stroll Grandstand (previously known as Grandstand 24) is very close to the track and offers great views as the cars accelerate out of the chicane. Food stalls and proper toilets are located right behind this grandstand. F1® Experiences Flyer | Lance Stroll Packages include a reserved 3-day seat in the Lance Stroll grandstand plus exciting trackside activities on Thursday.
Grandstand 34
Located in the middle of the hairpin, Grandstand 34 is an affordable stand with good views. Get in quick as this grandstand always sells out quickly.
Family Grandstand
The Family Grandstand (previously Grandstand 33) is located on the outside of Turn 6. We recommend seats in the lower section numbers, which give you a better view of the approach than higher section numbers.
Grandstand 31
Grandstand 31 on Turn 9 is set back a long way from the circuit proper , and you don’t get to see the cars for as long as at the Senna Chicane or the hairpin, but it is still decent value. Worth considering. F1® Experiences Live | Grandstand 31 Ticket packages include a 3-day reserved seat in Grandstand 31 plus insider activities on Thursday.
Grandstand 46
Grandstand 46 (previously know as the Popular grandstand) is one of the worst positioned grandstands at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, but also one of the cheapest. Single-day tickets are also available, unlike in most other grandstands. Views of the hairpin are obstructed by trees. For those who know the track, there is a small left kink after the hairpin. If there has been a lot of rain, there can be standing water in this area and it tends to catch out a lot of drivers, particularly in the support categories – the Popular Grandstand provides the best views of the action which can ensue. Grandstand 46 now has a large TV screen opposite.
General Admission at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
General admission tickets for the Canadian Grand Prix are cheap, but don’t offer the best viewing opportunities. The circuit is known for its long straights and slow corners, and grandstands take up the best viewing spots. This means that General Admission ticket holders either need to find a spot “packed like sardines” between the grandstands or watch the cars scream past on the straights.
There is more room to move in General Admission on Friday, before bigger crowds turn up on the weekend for qualifying and the race. There are decent vantage points close to some grandstands, but you need to get there early to secure your spot. Either side of grandstand 24 is raised and fills up quickly. There is also space between and in front of Grandstands 11 & 12. The straight behind grandstand 31 provides shaded viewing, but doesn’t offer big screen viewing.
