Tickets for Formula 1’s return to Sepang go on sale at RM200 for a three-day Hillstand G pass, the lowest published price for MyKad holders in the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2026 schedule.
Market Impact
The Hillstand G ticket covers Friday practice, Saturday qualifying and Sunday’s race, according to Sepang International Circuit Sdn Bhd’s price list. MyKad holders can also buy grandstand seats between RM458 and RM2,083.40, with a 25% discount on Main Grandstand, K1 and F grandstands; Hillstand G is not resellable, the organiser said.
Tickets are quoted in ringgit but converted to Bahraini dinar at checkout using the prevailing exchange rate, so the final amount depends on the payment method, it added. Children aged three to six receive a 25% discount on grandstand seats except Hillstand G; those under three enter free but without a dedicated seat.
MyKad holders must present a valid card for identity verification; organisers said tickets that fail the check can be cancelled. The organiser did not disclose how many RM200 tickets are available or when sales will close.
Demand is expected to be high after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim called for lower-priced “MADANI” tickets following public feedback on affordability. The Prime Minister’s Office did not respond to requests for comment on the number of RM200 tickets or how the MADANI programme relates to this pricing.
Hotel rates in Sepang, Cyberjaya and Putrajaya have already climbed to about three times normal weekend levels ahead of the race, according to a check by Malay Mail.
Sepang last hosted a Grand Prix in 2017; the 2026 event replaces the Bahrain Grand Prix, which organisers moved citing geopolitical and security concerns in West Asia.
An economist at a Kuala Lumpur research house said the RM200 price point could broaden local attendance. “At that level, families can justify a three-day trip without splurging on accommodation,” the economist said, asking not to be named because he is not authorised to speak publicly.
F1’s return has also revived sponsorship interest, with organisers saying they are in talks with domestic brands for activation packages but giving no figures.
Pricing tiers for MyKad holders include: • Main Grandstand – RM458 • K1 Grandstand – RM530 • F Grandstand – RM600 • Grandstand Utama – RM2,083.40
All prices are for the full weekend. The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture said Formula 1 is a marquee event that can shift visitor patterns and lengthen stays, but did not provide an estimate of additional arrivals.
A ticketing industry source familiar with the Sepang allocation said prices and availability can change quickly once global demand signals become clearer. Fans are advised to monitor official channels for updates.
