The Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix has become one of the hottest sporting events in the country in recent years.
Tickets – in particular, four-day passes – are notoriously hard to obtain, despite extra grandstands being added at the Albert Park circuit.
For 2024, the vast majority of tickets have been sold out, and there won't be a spare seat in the house for Sunday's race.
The Sporting News takes a closer look at the price of entry in Melbourne this year.
