What a 4-day ticket includes
- One day at a Yas theme park: Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World or SeaWorld, or teamLab Phenomena instead.
- Free museum entry to Louvre Abu Dhabi, Qasr Al Watan, Zayed National Museum and the Natural History Museum.
- Shorter 1-day and 2-day tickets don't include these extras, so a 4-day ticket can work out cheaper if you planned to visit them anyway.
Concerts
Race tickets give general-admission entry to the after-race concerts at Etihad Park, first come first served. The 2026 line-up announced by Formula 1: Kings of Leon and Lewis Capaldi (Thursday), Jennifer Lopez and Alex Warren (Friday), Imagine Dragons (Saturday), The Chainsmokers and The Script (Sunday). A Golden Circle upgrade gets you closest to the stage. See our concerts guide for the night-by-night plan.
Children
Under-2s go in free without a ticket. Everyone aged 2 and over needs one. The Friday "Kids Go Free" offer for ages 3–12 is listed as sold out for 2026.
