Route Expanded for Colapinto’s Buenos Aires F1 Road Show After Ticket Rush

City officials expanded the Palermo route to add free viewing space in response to surging demand.

Overview

  • - The exclusive presale that opened Monday for Mercado Pago cardholders sold out quickly, and the general sale was set to open Tuesday at 4 p.m. via Enigma Tickets.
  • - Buenos Aires extended the planned circuit along Avenida del Libertador to Casares and Ugarteche, and kept a Sarmiento section, to create more free viewing areas and ease crowding.
  • - Organizers published prices for paid sectors from ARS 80,000 to ARS 180,000, with options including Trackside Sarmiento, three named grandstands, and Hospitality sold through Big Box with Garage Tours.
  • - Colapinto will drive a 2012 Lotus E20 with a Renault V8 in Alpine colors, since F1 rules bar current cars in exhibitions, marking the first F1 run on city streets in 14 years.
  • - ESPN and Disney+ will carry the exhibition live, with about 20,000 paid tickets across Fan Zone, grandstands, and hospitality, plus large free-access zones for fans who line the route.
