Tickets for the Porto Bank Grandstand at the 2026 Formula 1 São Paulo Grand Prix will be put up for sale again. The commercialization will begin on August 27th at 12 am and will be directed exclusively to clients who possess the Porto Bank Card.
In 2025, the specific batch for this sector sold out completely in less than five minutes, according to the bank. Cardholders are entitled to a 15% discount on the original prices. Thus, the full price goes from R$ 2,500 to R$ 2,125, and the half-price ticket reduces from R$ 1,250 to R$ 1,062.50. It is possible to pay in up to six installments without interest, and the ticket covers the three days of events at the circuit.
The purchase must be made through the Eventim portal, which serves as the official ticketing office for the event. There is a limit of two tickets per CPF in this sector, which represents half of the four-ticket ceiling allowed for other areas of Interlagos. Orders finalized by August 31st will start shipping on October 1st. In-person sales at the circuit's box office will only be available starting October 30th, and only if there are remaining tickets.
It is important to note that despite the general sale announcement by Porto, the tickets are not available to the general public. Access to the sector remains restricted to holders of the bank card, one of the sponsors of the Brazilian round, and availability depends on existing stock. Individuals without the card need to request the benefit in advance to participate in the purchase.
Sales history demonstrates high demand: in 2023, the 3,000 grandstand tickets took approximately one hour to sell. Two years later, the same volume of tickets sold out in less than five minutes. Porto has not yet disclosed the exact number of seats available for 2026, and the sector is marketed as an experience package, including entertainment areas and exclusive activations, and not just as a seat.
The event, named Formula 1 MSC Cruises São Paulo Grand Prix 2026, will take place between November 6th and 8th at the José Carlos Pace Circuit, located in Interlagos. The main race is scheduled for 2 pm on Sunday, the 8th, following Brasília time. The Brazilian round is not part of the season's sprint race list, which is unprecedented since 2021. The weekend will return to the traditional format, comprising three free practices, qualifying on Saturday, and the 71-lap race on Sunday, on a 4.309 km circuit. In 2024, the GP attracted 291,7 thousand people to the circuit over the three days, according to organizational information.
