Abu Dhabi posts record sell-out of F1 tickets

ABU DHABI, November 19, 2014

Yas Marina Circuit, home to the annual Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, has sold a record 60,000 tickets for the motorsports event, set to take place over the weekend.

“With all the tickets now sold out, we can officially say that the 2014 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is going to be bigger than ever before!” said Al Tareq Al Ameri, CEO of Yas Marina Circuit.

“The demand has been unprecedented, locally and internationally, and the atmosphere in the stands is going to be fantastic. The F1 championship has come down to the wire, and people can’t wait to see the champion crowned right here in Abu Dhabi.”

The event will also feature international music acts, roaming entertainment, games, theatre and heritage activities.

Superstar DJ Armin Van Buuren, R&B giant Pharrell Williams and legendary British rock band The Who will play the after-race concerts. Egyptian movie star Tamer Hosny, celebrity singer and award-winning Lebanese actress Carole Samaha, Emirati singer Faiz Al Saeed, and Palestinian Mohammed Assaf of ‘Arab Idol’ fame will entertain race-goers at the Du Arena on tomorrow (November 20).

“The F1 weekend is about more than great motor racing action,” said Al Ameri. “It’s Abu Dhabi’s premier social event of the year, a three-day carnival of live entertainment and activities for the whole family.

“There’s going to be so much going on around the circuit. We’ve made it even more of a spectacle this year and we have made sure there’s something for everyone and with more people attending than ever before you can be sure of an incredible atmosphere throughout the venue.” – TradeArabia News Service
