My first race was Hockenheim 2001. Tickets on start / finish across from Ferrari paddock were just a hair over $300. That INCLUDED Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I did same at Nurburgring in 2004, same cost and 3 day coverage. Parking was FREE
In 2005, we went to the infamous Tire debacle race at Indy. $350ish bones for ONE day. Extra charge for other days, even for support races. Even more money for parking, a lot more.
Went to Canada in 2006 and 2007. IIRC, tickets were 3 day. Took my very young kids for just a little on Saturday and it was pretty cheap.
I know its been a while since I've been but my experience is that Europe races were cheaper and all inclusive. Looks like now even European races are like US in price. 3 day Silverstone starts at 4,500 euro. Sunday only Monaco is over 600 euros, if you have to ask about 3 day tickets there you can't afford (13,739 euro).
BUT 3 day ticket in Hungary is only 495 euros, score. Ditto at Red Bull Ring, 3 day 480 euro.
Dang, I need to win the lottery.
