ENTERING THE CIRCUIT

Be prepared for luggage checks upon entry. Make sure to review the list of permitted and prohibited items beforehand, including fan merchandise and food or drink. Attempting to bring in restricted items is strongly discouraged. If a prohibited item is discovered, it will be confiscated and discarded. In serious cases, this could result in being denied entry to the event.

Tickets

• Entry to the circuit requires a valid ticket, either in electronic form or printed on paper. We recommend saving your ticket on your mobile phone for quick access, but it’s wise to have a printed backup just in case. Ideally, you won’t even need to take it out of your pocket if all goes smoothly.
• Purchasing tickets online is fast and convenient—it takes just a couple of minutes, and you’re all set. Don’t wait too long, as prices may increase or sell out. Find the best deals here.
• Each ticket code is valid for a single entry. Be cautious and only share your ticket with trusted individuals, as it can be misused. If you plan to leave the circuit during the day, ensure your ticket is re-tagged by security before exiting. Without this, re-entry will not be allowed on the same day.
• Tickets are not assigned to specific individuals, meaning the same ticket can be used by different people at the circuit on the same day. However, this is only possible for separate entries.

Parking

During major events at the Bahrain International Circuit, parking arrangements are efficiently managed to handle large crowds. There are several designated parking areas in very close proximity to the entry gates.
