Formula 1: Hungarian Grand Prix ticket and food prices raise eyebrows ahead of 2025 race

Change language:

Interest in the 2025 Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix remains sky-high as usual, but many fans are stunned by soaring ticket and concession stand prices. This summer’s event at the Hungaroring could become one of the most expensive race weekends in the circuit’s history—not just in ticketing, but also at the food stalls.

Are Hungaroring prices leaving Hungarian fans behind?

Three-day passes have seen a steep increase: the cheapest general admission tickets are now priced around HUF 90,000 (EUR 225), while seats in premium grandstands go for over HUF 300,000 (EUR 750). Fans dreaming of access to the Paddock Club should prepare to spend millions.

Organisers claim that the pricing structure reflects international trends and the prestige of the event. Still, some Hungarian fans feel increasingly priced out of the on-site experience.

According to Blikk, those who do attend in Mogyoród may face sticker shock at the concession stands, too. A slice of pizza goes for HUF 2,500 (EUR 6.25), while a hamburger costs around HUF 4,000 (EUR 10).

Hot dogs are priced at HUF 3,000 (EUR 7.5), and a portion of French fries will set fans back HUF 2,000 (EUR 5). Vezess.hu reports that drinks aren’t any cheaper: a 0.5-litre bottled soda costs HUF 1,000 (EUR 2.5), and beer runs between HUF 1,500 and 2,000 (EUR 3.75 and 4).
