About Grand Prix of St. Petersburg

The Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg is an annual NTT IndyCar Series street-circuit race held on a temporary circuit through the streets of downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, along the waterfront. Typically staged in early March, it’s frequently the season-opening round that kicks off IndyCar’s championship chase; the 2027 edition is scheduled for March 5–7, 2027. With its downtown backdrop and scenic Tampa Bay setting, this event has become a premier motorsports festival for the city.

The weekend is built around a multi-day format on a temporary street circuit road course that uses public roads and part of the Albert Whitted Airport runway. Fans can follow the story from practice into knockout qualifying (with group rounds that advance to the Firestone Fast Six) and then into the main race, which is run over a set number of laps (historically around 100 laps and 180+ miles). Drivers compete for full IndyCar Series championship points, the event trophy, and the momentum that comes with winning one of IndyCar’s signature street races—especially as a frequent season opener.

The Grand Prix of St. Petersburg regularly draws a top-tier IndyCar field—typically 25–27 cars—with front-runners such as Álex Palou, Scott Dixon, Will Power, Josef Newgarden, Pato O’Ward, Colton Herta, and Marcus Ericsson among the notable names associated with the event. The circuit’s character—a fast runway straight leading into tight 90-degree street corners—can produce dramatic opening laps and strategy-heavy racing as tire management becomes critical. If you’re planning to attend Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.

How Much Do Grand Prix of St. Petersburg Tickets Cost?

Grand Prix of St. Petersburg tickets typically range from around $40 to $60 for single-day general admission to $150–$350+ for reserved grandstand and three-day packages, with premium packages running higher. Premium hospitality and paddock club packages can run several hundred to over $1,000.

Pricing is largely driven by day of the weekend (with Sunday race day typically commanding the highest prices), whether you choose reserved grandstands versus general admission viewing, and whether your ticket includes hospitality and/or paddock access. Another key factor is single-day vs. three-day packages—multi-day access can be a strong value if you want to see qualifying build into race day.

Grand Prix of St. Petersburg Seating and Circuit Information

Because this event runs on a temporary downtown street circuit, the viewing experience is built around temporary grandstands positioned at key points and general admission areas along portions of the track. With the waterfront setting and the circuit’s mix of high-speed sections and tight corners, choosing the right access is about deciding whether you want a full-day “walk and explore” feel or a reserved seat near key moments of the race.

Best Ways to Experience Grand Prix of St. Petersburg

The right access depends on what kind of race day experience you're after:

• Best value: General admission — roaming access to designated viewing areas around the circuit at a lower price point
• Closest to the action: Reserved grandstands positioned at key points — feel the pace of IndyCar up close as cars brake and accelerate through tight corners
• Best overall view: Premium grandstands near the start/finish line — strong sightlines on the track where race starts, restarts, and key moments unfold
• For groups and premium experiences: Hospitality clubs, suites, and paddock/pit access packages — added comfort and upgraded access for a bigger day at the circuit

Getting Ready for Grand Prix of St. Petersburg Race Day

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation goes a long way — especially for an open-air, downtown waterfront street race where you’ll likely be walking between viewing areas, concessions, and entrances.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cellular service near large events can get congested on race days. Save them to your phone's wallet or screenshot them as a backup.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is the standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for entry and security, especially on high-demand dates.
• Public transit and walking access. Downtown St. Petersburg is served by local PSTA bus routes, and the waterfront circuit is within walking distance of downtown.
• Rideshare planning. Use the event’s designated rideshare pickup/drop-off zones near the downtown circuit perimeter, and expect post-race delays.
• Bag policy prep. A clear bag policy is typically in effect, with small clear bags and clutch-sized bags permitted; prohibited items include coolers, weapons, and outside glass containers.
• Plan for cashless purchases. Cashless payment is standard at concessions and merchandise outlets.
• Know where to park (if you drive). Public parking garages and lots are available throughout downtown St. Petersburg, and limited event parking fills quickly on race day.
• What to bring for comfort. Hearing protection, sunscreen, a hat, comfortable walking shoes, and sun protection are smart picks for the Florida waterfront setting.
