Tickets for the next "Formula 1" competition, which will be held in Baku, have been acquired in more than 40 countries so far.

Head of the Marketing and Communications at Baku City Circuit Nigar Arpadarai told Trend that the preliminary campaign ‘Early Birds’ for the sale of tickets ended on January 31.

“We are pleased with the results, because the expectations were met. Tickets have been purchased in more than 40 countries. Most tickets were purchased in Europe including the UK, as well as Russia and Arab countries,” she said.

A variety of ticket options are on offer for the 2017 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, including various packages for the Absheron Grandstand, which will offer fans some fantastic views of the start/finish lane, as well as a wide range of different Grandstand seating options, located at various corners and straights along the track.

Tickets for the 2017 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix are available to purchase online via www.bakucitycircuit.com from December 2.

The BCC official further added that this time as well the "Formula 1" expects to attract the world stars.

“We plan to organize three concert programs, which will feature the world stars. Negotiations are underway, and their names will be announced to the public after reaching relevant agreements,” Arpadarai said.

The 2017 season of Formula 1 will begin on March 26 in Australia and conclude on November 26 in Abu Dhabi, and will include five back-to-back race weekends. The race is expected to be held in 20 countries.

Azerbaijan will host Formula 1, the significant sporting event of the year, for the second time.

Unlike 2016, this year between June 23 and 25, the country joins the race with a different name, as Formula 1 Grand Prix in Baku was renamed to the Grand Prix of Azerbaijan.
