Three-day passes to the 2008 FORMULA 1™ SingTel Singapore Grand Prix were officially launched for sale by race promoter Singapore GP on Thursday 14 February 2008, 0900 hours Singapore time (0200hrs GMT).

The three-day passes are priced from SIN$168 (Euro 82*, GBP60*) for a walkabout to S$1,388 (Euro 675*, GBP500*) for the premier Pit Grandstand (see attached and below for complete three-day pass pricing).

A total of 70,000 tickets are available in this first release. This comprises 15,000 walkabout passes and 55,000 grandstand seats strategically located around the circuit. Tickets are expected to be in high demand and will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis. Each customer will be allowed to purchase a maximum of eight tickets. This is to ensure that as wide an audience as possible gets to enjoy the inaugural Singapore Grand Prix.

Set against the backdrop of downtown Singapore, the race will be not only the world’s first ever Formula One™ night race but also the first ever Formula One™ street race in Asia.

Organisers are predicting it to be the most spectacular event in the history of the Grand Prix and to coincide with the race the Singapore Tourism Board is holding a Singapore GP Season, an amazing festival of fun, high octane action across the island for race-goers, visitors and local residents. Spanning three weekends around the race action, highlights include the inaugural Singapore River Festival, the already popular Singapore Biennale, featuring a series of installations dotted around the city, the Singapore Motorshow and the acclaimed Formula One – The Great Design Race exhibition coming from London.
