COTA introduces football/USGP combo ticket
Since the inception of the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas, the event’s October date has had to co-exist with the college football season — a promotional obstacle in gridiron-crazed Austin, Texas. This year, COTA is, er, tackling the challenge head on, offering a special ticket package to accommodate fans who want to want to attend both the University of Texas Longhorns college football game as well as the Formula 1 racing action and music concerts at COTA on the weekend of Oct. 18-20.
The Longhorns are taking on the University of Georgia’s Bulldogs at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin on Saturday, while COTA is set to host the F1 Sprint as well as concerts from superstars Eminem and Sting, plus a Two Friends amphitheater celebration show after the U.S. GP on Sunday. COTA’s “Split the Uprights Package” offers those whose Saturdays are purely dedicated to football an all-new Friday/Sunday combo ticket option. This new general admission Grounds Pass Friday/Sunday ticket package includes Friday’s practice round, Sprint qualifying and the Sting concert, as well as U.S. GP and post-race celebration in the Germania Insurance Amphitheater with Two Friends. The $289 package works out cheaper than purchasing two single tickets for both days together.
“There’s so much to do in Austin that weekend,” said COTA Chairman Bobby Epstein. I think October 21 should be declared a ‘day off’ holiday this year!”
