General information
The location of the
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on the artificial
island at the site of the World Expo is
stunning. It is easily attainable by subway
(metro). You need to walk quite a bit after
exiting the subway especially if you are
at the Gold or Silver 10, 11 and 12 stands.
Facilities are average. The Gold stands
offer bucket seats but most of the other
stands are benches. Toilets are portable
so at the end of the day you'd best avoid
them.
Viewing quality
In Canada the quality of the stands is also
determined by the category Gold, Silver
or Bronze. The Gold stands offer a prime
view of the start-finish straight and all
the pit lane action. Included with the Gold
seats is a garden area along the shore.
All the Silver stands are located at the
most interesting corners. Stands 10, 11
and 12 at the first corner and stands 15,
21 and 24 at the Casino hairpin. Bronze
stands are located at slightly less spectacular
positions. Bronze 31 and 33 are very popular
stands as they do offer a good location
at a very decent price. General admission
tickets offer access to the grounds and
you can basically take your camping chairs
with you and sit where there is a view.
Prices
Ticket prices for the Canadian Grand Prix
are comparable to the European events. Gold
stand tickets are not really expensive
especially for the good seating and excellent
view. Top stands like the Silver 15 or Silver
12 are not cheap at over 300 Euro but the
price is fair. Bronze tickets are not at
all expensive at well under 200 Euro for
the whole weekend. General admission at
less than 100 Euro is also a good deal.
Best Deal
The best deal on F1
tickets for the Canadian Grand Prix
is the Bronze 33. It's location in the chicane
offers a view of the cars coming up at high
speed and then braking to enter and exit
the chicane. At well under 200 Euro this
is the best deal. If the stand is sold out
go for the Silver 24 with a good view of
the hairpin turn and in the background the
Montreal skyline!
