MONACO FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX
Below you will find reviews, ratings, and tips on the circuit from other race fans.
From stepping off the plane we were on a total high, knowing we had tickets to the most anticipated event of the year was just a dream come true, we have saved for such a long time and your service has been fantastic very proffesional thank you.
Unfortunatly when we were at the race we felt slightly ripped off, we had our tickets which cost a great deal of money only to see french officials allowing locals in to our stand without tickets, if we would have known this we would never of bought tickets and would have saved a lot of money. We did feel very up set about this as we are just normal people that do have to save for the finer things in life, we are very dissapointed with the french officials, may be next time we wont pay for a stand or even a ticket, we will just turn up.
Apart from that thank you for a wonderful experience.

Viewing from Secteur Rocher is a big disappointment. The trees obscure the track from all but a few very crowded viewing points. Definitely worth spending more to be guaranteed an open view of the action.
Cheap tickets with a great view of an amazing GP, Shame it rained
Brilliant day, the whole Monaco experience was fantastic, even the weather could not dampen our spirts
Having bought tickets for raceday we felt obliged to make the most of the the atmosphere of the whole weekend. Thursday , free practice. 230 euro's for the three of us to access grandstand T, almost directly opposite the ferrari garage and next to the foot bridge where you see the drivers enter and leave the circuit. A chance to hail your hero. Also listen to the complimentory and derogatory comments from the hill via the megaphoned chromed helmeted brilliant Brit. Stars & Bars the same evening, 20 euro's to gain access with a 10 euro's voucher redemable against food & drinks. Bargain. All the drivers walk past including Lewis who stopped to have a conversation with us. What an ordinary guy. Bit of a carfuffle and it was Shuee (Michael) on a Harley V Rod on our side of the security fence attempting a 37 point turn before escaping off into the Monaco traffic.
Friday evening track walk and a drink in the cafe de Paris. 10 quid a pint and no Marstons, whats that all about! Rascas bar live band and Fosters at 7.50 a pint!!! Great atmosphere good place to be. Raceday. Excellent seats in Tribnune N (Entry to the swimming pool complex)Large screen in front and behind. Rosberg binned it right in front of us. All in a fantastic experience. Going again next year but staying in Menton. Cheaper than Nice and more laid back. It may not be the the best track for racing but who cares it's a global phenomenom in motor sport, one every one should experince at least once in life time. Bit like owning an Alfa (Quote Clarkeson). We're on our third which for me says it all.
Nothing to add, it was amazing opp to see those crazy guys from 3 meters...
Just had the most awesome weekend.....
Even the weather didn't put a damper on things! Our tickets were fantastic, (opp the pits)and the race - fantastic result!! Hamilton is the best!!

All the glitz and glamour that you would expect with the monaco gp... great race, great track, just expect to be spending a lot of money!!!
I have to say I expected a more organised method and closer viewing section for the General Admitance area of the Monaco track. To see people mere metres away from me who did not have to pay for a ticket annopyed me a lot considering the high price of tickets. I will be attending Silverstone this year as well and was able to get tickets for only a little more than the Monaco ticket that are seated and only a few meters from the track. Also as far away as I was there was no sound sytem to give updates on the race. I didn't in anyway expect to be trackside for a General Addmitance ticket price, but I thought I'd be able to make out the colour of the cars at least! I think there also needs to be more attention paid to triming of trees in Sectoure Rocher if people are expected to pay such a high price for these tickets!!!
Excellent seats! Great experience. Thank you for your professional services. Your services recommended.
Despite being told tickets would be delivered approx 2 weeks before the event, they arrived the day of our planned departure to Monaco, so we had to postpone our departure for one day. Having paid e45 for handling and delivery, we think this was pretty poor service.
Some things to bear in mind when attending the Grand Prix at Monaco.
1. There are plenty of places to buy drinks and snacks at very reasonable prices.
2. Catching the train afterwards is a nightmare. Plan to hang around for a couple of hours to avoid the worst crush.
3. Stand 'N' is great and if you take binoculars you can see right into some of the pit garages.
Seats where great, would sit in same section again.
We met people from all corners of the world.Everyone agrees, Monaco is simply the best. Weve been out of race time and apart from hotels prices were still the same. A sandwich a drink and any fruit off the stall for 5 euro! brilliant. The people the stewards the police everybody was friendly and helpful.The organisation to get people in and out was fantastic .The toilets are clean with no long queues, the streets are clean the buses arround town were free ,there were seats on the frequent trains. I could go on much longer ,but suffice it to say an experience second to none.Worth every penny.
This would get 6 stars if possible. Stayed in Nice, travelled in and out - very quick. Great weather, beautiful women, awesome cars, unreal boats. Had general admission tickets for 'the hill' as it's known. Viewing is restrictive so get there early or as some of our group did - sleep on 'the hill' overnight!! The closeness of the cars and the sound echoing off the surrounding mountains and buildings make this GP unforgetable. If you want to watch the race from a Grandstand but can't afford it, this is what one of our group did. Find youself a sweeping brush and rubbish bag, lay low until stewards start arriving on Sunday Morning, start picking rubbish in your chosen Grandstand and pretend to be deaf if someone approaches you - IT WORKS
*. Overall - the Monaco GP is a must for all F1 fans.
* Interesting story but the BOOKF1.com team do not recommend you do this as it's not strictly legal. Furthermore, we fear that the next Monaco race could be flooded with angry rubbish sweepers who are stuck outside the circuit after the plan failed.
