Gordon Ramsay is also offering a garage package for the same price in the Las Vegas GP pit lane. The difference is Gordon is a massive F1 and Motorsports fan who attends many races. If I were spending this kind of bank this that’s the garage I would pick. Same exact perks as the other one.
That would be a lot more fun. Gordon is a legend and loves the sport as you say so actually watches the races and knows about F1. The others just there to be seen etc
I'd pay extra to have Gordon rip me to shreads for my poor life choices and coctail selection. A bit like the Mike Tyson experience, pay money, get knoced out.
@@TyCi46 correct. I go to five F1 races a year and I’ve seen him at multiple races last season (not so this season). At the Las Vegas Grand Prix last year, I ended up speaking to him for a while in front of the Williams garage. Our conversation was all about Motorsports and nothing about food. He is one of us. He just happens to be a celebrity. If I were inclined to drop a king’s on one of these hospitality packages this is the one I would choose. Not Papi’s and not the Wynn Grid Club which is also ultra expensive and does not even offer any unguided paddock access.
I was just at the IMSA race at Road America in Elkhart Lake Wisconsin. My four day ticket for me and my motorhome parked trackside inside turn one was 580 bucks and that ticket and wristband got me anywhere. I wanted to go the whole weekend. And I mean anywhere around the track, including all of the garages. they truly have the fans in mind.
I’ll stick with the RedBull paddock club. Makes those prices look cheap. The only upgrades you really get with the garage tickets are the full day paddock access which for real F1 fans would be amazing, and the food. Considering the food in the paddock club is already top notch is it really that much of an upgrade, perhaps especially over 3 days I could definitely eat them out for 15-20k no problem with that menu.
I’m not surprised in slightest, especially with seeing how expensive high end hotels and restaurants can be. I do like how you can be right next to the pit lane.
Will I be going to the Vegas GP. No with the camera restrictions they will not be getting any of my money. But I might be in Vegas collecting stock footage outside of the race venue. Also a "Strip View" room at the Flamingo will give you a view of the cars blasting down the strip while you watch the rest of the race on the television The cost of the room is less than some of the grand stand seats for the weekend.
For me, it’s not even the fact that people have that kind of money and are willing to spend it on this ticket, but rather whether they actually watch the race. 🤷♀️
@@AmazoniteNebula a lot of people who go to the Paddock club hospitality in general aren’t paying their own way. A lot of them are clients or employees/execs of team and other F1 sponsors. Many of them are not big F1 fans so many of them don’t necessarily watch all of the race. There are some hard-core fans in the paddock club, but they are a minority of the attendees in it. One time at COTA I ended up sitting with a sponsor of an F1 team and wound up educating all but one of them about F1 and how the race worked and what was going on. They wanted to learn and were cool. At least they happened to care. Many of the lounge attendees did not care that much. They were there for the business connections.
If you can afford the F1 Garage Package you are NOT driving a Porsche Boxster. You are driving a Porsche 992 GT3RS, 991 GT2RS or 918 (if you are driving a Porsche at all). More likely a Ferrari, McLaren, Lamborghini, Bentley, or Rolls. Or perhaps an Aston Martin.
It definitely looks cool for those who can afford the experience. However, I'll stick to a regular ticket to Spa or Silverstone with my uncle, who got me into F1. Even when I qualify as a lawyer, I would never spend that type of money on this.
I like that there is an option to pay in 3 installments 😂 If I spent that and attended I can guarantee I’d be the only one in that box that was actually there for the F1. Everyone else is just to be seen
The fact you can pay those tickets in 3 installments is pretty hilarious aswell. Though I guess that has something to do with tax writeoffs and not people not being able to afford the price all at once. Or I least I hope so.
its credit card friendly. last payment is 120 days after the event plus the airmiles. smart people use every trick to maximise their money. that's how they get rich.
Same price as the Ramsey package. Race starts midnight on Saturday?Race starts 12AM Sunday 24th. These tickets show 21-23. Does it include entry for race or just the preliminaries?
I wonder how much it is to sit at the back of the team garages, the cameras often pan to them during the races. Some celebrities in there but also some families. Likely sponsors (and sponsors' families) I suppose...
There’s obviously a market for it….What most of us would judge as obscene is pin money to some, and if you have that kind of money to burn good luck to ya.
Vegas residents HATE F1 in Vegas, even the ones like me that love F1....... very few locals benefit from the race, my side of the industry gets minimum pay and months of an added hour to a normal 15 minute commute, there is a coalition suing F1 and the county to end the race. I doubt it goes past 3 races ............ I love you though Kym, keep them coming!
Last year’s Vegas race offered a one million dollar package and a five million dollar package. They were from Wynn and Cesar’s. I don’t know if anyone actually bought them.
@@LarsAgerbk I have no idea if anyone actually bought those packages. The prices were popping popping. The Caesars one included the entire penthouse terrace and full catering by Nobu, including by the chef himself. Due to the ridiculous pricing of paddock club in Vegas my wife and I weren’t even intending to go last year but at the last minute an F1 team sponsor sold us their passes for 60% off because they decided not to attend. We just got super lucky and booked everything at the last second. We ended up paying less than we did for COTA. Due to reported slow sales, F1 Experiences and F1 are already dropping prices on hospitality options by significant amounts for this race. Champions club is down from something like $11,000 retail to now just a bit over $6000 on the F1 Experiences website. Other big discounts for non-club hospitality options are being offered as well already. But I do not expect any discounts to ever be offered on these two fancy garage packages as they would rather not have sellouts on these packages and keep the crowd super elite. That’s always the way F1 rolls with the garage packages. They are usually not sold out.
In general tickets r to expensive. I can see $100 a ticket but a ticket at any American GP is a minimum of $200-$250 and the average American can't afford that. If they Wan more American to start watching the races and also go they need to lower the price. I think $100 even to expensivebut I'd pay that if they Offered that. I'm a hugeF1 and Nascar fan and I complain about $45 a ticket for Nascar cup Serious. So F1 needs to think outside box and lower ticket price not just in the Usa but abroad
I think the ticket prices for the F1 races at Indianapolis were reasonably priced. I went there from 2000 to 2004 and don't recall them being expensive. I had a pair of seats at the,exit of turn 1. I think Miami had crazy prices from what I can tell, not that I am tempted to ever to to there. I think Las Vegas went crazy with prices as well.
Having been to seven F1 races at the Indy F1 Grand Prix, save your money and go see a Indy Car race. Indy is less expensive, has closer wheel to wheel racing that's much more exiting to watch. F1 is a fashionable racing series, Indy Car doesn't have all the glitz and pomp as F1. So Kym, go check out Indy Car racing and let us know your experience. Hamilton's past assistant Angela Cullen loves being with Indy Car
I've been to a number of Cart / Champcar / IdndyCar races over the years and also been to over 65 F1 races around the world. There are far less fans at IndyCar races (apart from the Indy 500) so there can be better views due to crowding. If I had a choice between IndyCar or F1 I would always choose F1. I've also been to a number of Motor Cycle races from the 500cc days to MotoGP. MotoGP usually results in better races but F1 cars are just amazing with their performance and handling.
Imagine paying the most expensive ticket in F1 to attend one of the - if not THE -, most stupid race tracks to ever be featured in F1's history. Just saying.
@@KymIllman It doesn't matter where you live. When you are at Zandvoort go an see Toto Wolff, Mick Schumacher or anybody else and ask them how to pronounce Porsche.
Vegas is a new build. There is room. Many other tracks DO NOT HAVE ROOM FOR NEW GARAGES IN PITLANE. Accept it. And Andretti can re apply for 2028. Let him do that.
$35.000 ticket is not worth to buy it that entertainment and food quality is too cheapest bargain! No good for Formula One Party, Not Ferrari! Las Vegas is too dirty place, no good for this place!
For $35k, I better be next to Red Bull, not Haas 😂
At some tracks the F1 garage is next to RB but not this one.
I would
@@KymIllmanrespond to this kym...OR ELSE.
no seriously pls respond cause I am ur biggest fan
@@KymIllman Yeah, this is Vegas. They'll find a way to charge an extra $20k if you want to be next to RB

I am a cab driver in Las Vegas. Really enjoyed the race last year, looking forward to the race this year too.
Wow, still gasping for air after hearing that price tag, LOL! Thanks Kym, keep ‘em coming!
The Aston Martin team has a pretty expensive seat at every race. You see it driving around with the number 18 every weekend

You are spot on
Best F1 videos ,thanks for all the content mate
Glad you like them!
Andretti are missing a trick here, hire the whole event and setup a garage. No one will ever know!
Oh let that crap go.
It definitely looks cool for those who can afford the experience. However, I'll stick to a regular ticket to Spa or Silverstone with my uncle, who got me into F1. Even when I qualify as a lawyer, I would never spend that type of money on this.
so excited for this video
Watch away my friend
We got a dog cameo! We need a video on the Illman pets ❤
Definitely!!
Kym look at Wynn F1 Grid Club Package, it almost doubles the this package, wish I could go though 😢

I wonder how much it is to sit at the back of the team garages, the cameras often pan to them during the races. Some celebrities in there but also some families. Likely sponsors (and sponsors' families) I suppose...
They are guests of teams and they are often invited into the Garage for a period of time during the race
My goodness my heart hurts just looking at the price tag 😣
Got this for free at Spa 2023, didn't have hospitality et al, but I was right between Alpine and McLaren pit boxes during the race lol.
Hey kym vid is amazing per usual. Almost 40k is defo worth it for sin city cmon
"Style" 0:15 😅 Term used loosely?
Thank you Kym I’ll have to pass on that one. See you at Suzuka hopefully during the pit walk in 2025. 😜😁
The prices of the tickets in general , for the US Grand Prix and Mexico are offensive
There’s obviously a market for it….What most of us would judge as obscene is pin money to some, and if you have that kind of money to burn good luck to ya.
New competition! Find a more expensive Vegas F1 ticket than ‘Papi Steak Garage’ and it’s Kym’s shout!
We have attended some F1 events, and the more we spend it seems the worse the experience is...
Hello kym
I suspect people will purchase through companies and write it off vs Tax on revenue.
For 35 grand that ticket better come with a happy ending
Vegas residents HATE F1 in Vegas, even the ones like me that love F1....... very few locals benefit from the race, my side of the industry gets minimum pay and months of an added hour to a normal 15 minute commute, there is a coalition suing F1 and the county to end the race.

I'd enjoy seeing it moved to Watkins Glen!
Liberty Media owns the Vegas F1 race. Sorry but it’s not going anywhere.
So, after all is done and dusted, what does a Kym Illman earn per year ?
His a multi-millionaire. He earns a lot.
Yeah I will use that money to buy a Mustang GT 500 and get the 10.99 F1 membership.
It's meant for the absurdly mega rich.
What boutiques are you going to for the Daytona?
If i had all that money i'd buy a racing car and start racing myself. With a daytona on my wrist.
An interesting way to take in some corporate Haaspitality
i wonder how other spectators experience were from the first Vegas F1
The feedback from attendees was hugely popular for the research I’ve seen.
We were in the Williams Paddock Club and loved the Vegas GP. We went to 4 other F1 races last year. It was one of the best and most fun.
Thankyou Kym for the Papi Steak package heads-up, I'll be looking to purchase a number of tickets..
I’ll pop down and take photos of you
for 35k i better be in the race
Gonna watch the video carefully just in case you happen to be doing a giveaway for one of the most expensive tix😂
No giveaway I’m afraid
@KymIllman watched anyway because your videos are always top class, cheers!
ITS RACE WEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!
Real fans just want to watch the race ,F1 is so diluted it’s not about the sport anymore
That décor is not very "American", but it is very Vegas. Vegas is the epitome a tackiness.
What type of commendation do you get as a photographer?
I heard that there was a million dollar F1 ticket for Las Vegas

It's worth it if you see that Hamilton
Not worth it even at the normal prices for poor people tickets.
