Baku, Azerbaijan, Dec. 2
By Ilhama Isabalayeva – Trend:
Baku City Circuit (BCC) has launched its online ticket sales for the 2017 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix via www.bakucitycircuit.com , Nigar Arpadarai, head of marketing and communications at BCC, told reporters at a press conference in Baku Dec. 2.
The 2017 Formula 1 calendar announced earlier this week by Formula One governing body, the FIA, saw the Baku street race pushed back from its provisional date to the weekend of June 23-25, thereby avoiding another clash with the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, she said.
To mark the beginning of the ticket sales process, BCC is offering fans a limited supply of special discounts of up to 30 percent on the cost of all 4-day tickets, Arpadarai noted, adding that this exciting offer will be available until Jan. 31, 2017, after which the cost of tickets will revert back to their original price.
A 4-day ticket includes grandstand access to the three days of racing as well as all accompanying entertainment offerings but also to a special Pit Lane Walk June 22.
Bulent Ozerdim, the head of Commercial Department at BCC, said that “Daily Roaming” tickets will also be on offer to those preferring to watch the race from different locations.
Discounted 4-day ticket prices range from 150–550 Azerbaijani manats while the “Daily Roaming” tickets will range from 60-150 manats, he noted.
He added that for foreign citizens who buy tickets for US dollars, the cost will be determined by the USD currency rate on the day of purchase.
