Two sellers, two different packages: the difference is the ferry.

Klook bundles the race ticket with a one-way Cotai Water Jet ferry from Sheung Wan in Hong Kong to Taipa, and you collect the physical ticket at Shun Tak Centre before you sail. KKday sells the race ticket on its own, and you swap its voucher for the physical ticket at KKday's collection point.

The races: seven categories, three World Cups

The 73rd edition runs seven categories across the four days, announced by the Macau Grand Prix Organizing Committee on 16 October 2026. Three of them are FIA World Cups, which is why the entry lists read like a junior Formula 1 reunion crossed with a GT3 factory war.

• Macau Grand Prix – FIA FR World Cup. The headline race: the world's best junior single-seater drivers in identical Tatuus T-326 cars, decided over 15 laps on Sunday afternoon.
• Macau GT Cup – FIA GT World Cup. Factory GT3 cars from eight manufacturers, 18 entries, with a new Silver Cup for emerging drivers in 2026.
• Macau Guia Race – Kumho FIA TCR World Tour Event of Macau. The touring car world tour's season finale: 30 cars settling the title over two races.
• Macau Formula 4 Race – FIA F4 World Cup. The second F4 World Cup, run by leading national F4 teams.
• Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix – 58th Edition. Superbikes on a street circuit, the bravest race of the weekend, held on Saturday morning.
• Greater Bay Area GT Cup (GT4) and the Macau Roadsport Challenge: the regional and local flavour.

Thursday and Friday are practice and qualifying from 07:45. The sessions that matter, from the organisers' published timetable: on Saturday 21 November the Motorcycle Grand Prix races at 09:10 over 12 laps, Guia Race 1 at 13:20 and the Formula Regional qualification race at 16:15. On Sunday 22 November the Greater Bay Area GT Cup opens the day at 08:00, the Formula 4 final runs at 09:15, Guia Race 2 at 11:00, the GT Cup final at 12:35 over 16 laps, and the Formula Regional World Cup main race closes the weekend at 15:30. Macau timetables slip when barriers need rebuilding, so treat the times as the plan, not a promise. Our spectator guide walks the weekend day by day, and the entry list guide covers the full grids.

Tickets: categories, prices and where to buy

Public sales opened at 12:00 noon on Friday 9 October 2026 and tickets are on sale now. Every ticket is for one stand on one day, and every spectator aged two and above needs one. Sales are limited to ten tickets per person. The official prices, as published by the organisers and the official Macau Ticketing listing:

• Thursday and Friday: MOP 100 in any grandstand. Practice and qualifying, unreserved seats, a fraction of the weekend crowd. The best value in Macau sport.
• Reservoir Grandstand: MOP 400 at the weekend. The sweeping section beside the start straight, cars coming through the bend toward you, no canopy.
• Grand Stand: MOP 750 at the weekend. The start and finish straight opposite the ferry terminal: grid, pits, podium, and the only roof at the circuit.
• Lisboa Bend Grandstand: MOP 1,200 at the weekend. The tight right-hander where the overtaking and the incidents happen, and the only stand with reserved seats on race days.
• Concessionary: MOP 150 for eligible concession holders.

Buy only through authorised channels. The official sales channel is the Macau Ticketing network (the Kong Seng ticketing outlets and macauticket.com), and two of our booking partners carry 73rd edition tickets online, bookable now:

Two sellers, two different packages: the difference is the ferry.

Klook bundles the race ticket with a one-way Cotai Water Jet ferry from Sheung Wan in Hong Kong to Taipa, and you collect the physical ticket at Shun Tak Centre before you sail. KKday sells the race ticket on its own, and you swap its voucher for the physical ticket at KKday's collection point.

Coming from Hong Kong, Klook also sells a bundle pairing the Saturday or Sunday Lisboa Bend ticket with a Cotai Water Jet ferry from Sheung Wan; the physical ticket is collected in Sheung Wan, and the bundle does not cover Thursday or Friday. Grand Prix tickets are physical, not mobile: allow time to collect yours at the collection points by the stand entrances, and ask for a hand stamp if you head out at lunch, since same-day re-entry works by stamp. Trip.com's 73rd edition event page is not selling race tickets yet, so there is deliberately no Trip.com race button here; its Grand Prix Museum tickets, above, are bookable year-round. Never buy from unofficial resellers: counterfeit and invalid tickets surface every year. Stand by stand prices and the full buying walkthrough are in our ticket sale guide.

Where to watch

Macau has exactly three grandstands, and the one you pick decides your weekend. The Grand Stand gives you the starts, the finishes, the podium and the only canopy, but the cars pass at full speed on a parallel straight. The Reservoir is the value pick: cheaper, unsheltered, and the cars sweep through the bend toward you. Lisboa Bend is the corner everyone comes for: the braking zone at the end of the fastest straight, the main overtaking spot, reserved seats on race days, and the photographer's choice.

The famous corners with no seats at all, the Melco Hairpin, Fisherman's Bend and the Solitude Esses among them, play out on the big screen in front of every stand. There is no free trackside viewing during sessions: the circuit is barrier-lined end to end. What is free is the build-up and the broadcasts: giant screens at community locations around the city, Grand Prix games and simulators with live screens at Anim'Arte NAM VAN on 13 to 15 and 20 to 22 November, the Family Carnival at Tap Seac Square on 7 and 8 November, and the Auto Show there on 14 and 15 November with the official opening ceremony. The full stand by stand comparison, photography notes included, is in where to watch the Macau Grand Prix, and families should read the Grand Prix family guide.

Getting there and race-weekend practicalities

• The classic arrival works. The Grand Stand entrance is directly across the road from the Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal, so the Hong Kong ferry plus a two-minute walk is a real plan. Sailing times are in our ferry guide, and getting home after Sunday's racing is covered in the Hong Kong ferry package guide.
• Roads close at 06:00 on race days and buses divert around the circuit. If you arrive via the Border Gate or the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge port, allow far longer than the map suggests. Our getting there guide covers every entry point.
• Book the hotel with the ticket. Race weekend is Macau's priciest of the year and the walkable rooms go first. Start with our Grand Prix hotels guide.
• Bring ear protection, over-ear defenders for children. Single-seaters and superbikes bouncing off building walls are louder than first-timers expect.
• Leave big bags at the hotel. Bulky luggage is not allowed in the stands. Eat before you go in or use the lunch break: food inside the circuit is thin.
• Walk the lap. Outside race hours the circuit is public road again. A quiet-morning walk from Lisboa to the Reservoir and up to the Melco Hairpin is free and genuinely worth doing.

Pairing the seat with a room as one purchase? Our sister site Macau Deals now has a dedicated Grand Prix page for tickets-and-hotel bundles.
