What Drives the Price?
- Package Tier – Paddock Club commands a premium because it’s the only product that guarantees pit‑lane access and garage views.
- Race Day vs Friday – Friday hospitality can be 40 % cheaper yet delivers almost identical track time and more relaxed pit‑lane walks.
- Group Size – Above + Beyond negotiates sliding‑scale discounts for 10 + guests; you’ll rarely see these rates published online.
- Added Extras – Helicopter transfers from Barcelona city, chef’s‑table upgrades, and behind‑the‑scenes tours are bolt‑ons — budget c. €500‑€1,200 pp.
Package Deep‑Dive
1. Paddock Club
The gold standard. Expect a rooftop viewing deck above the team garages, champagne breakfast, Michelin‑inspired lunch service, afternoon tea, open bar, and unrivalled networking. A three‑day pass also includes a daily pit‑lane walk and access to the brand‑new Paddock Live Lounge for driver Q&As.
Why book with Above + Beyond? Our allocation sits within the central hospitality zone — not the overflow suites at the end of the pit straight — so your clients stand metres from live pit‑stops, not binocular distance.
2. Circuit VIP Terrace
Perched above Turn 10 with views of the stadium section. Hospitality lounge behind the terrace features Catalan tapas stations, local cava, and F1 simulator challenges.
Tip: Book Friday & Saturday VIP Terrace passes plus a Sunday Platinum Grandstand to cut the spend by ~€900 pp while still giving guests two days of open bar.
3. Grandstand + Lounge
Ideal for fan‑forward incentives. Reserved seat on the main straight, private climate‑controlled lounge behind the grandstand, constant big‑screen action, and complimentary beer/wine. Seats sell out quickest once Spain’s summer dates firm up — get a courtesy hold via Above + Beyond now.
