My tickets arrived last week...WOOHOO!  We're in grandstand 22.

Try here:

http://www.circuitgillesvilleneuve.ca/tickets-f1.html

All 3 days general admission is $110, race day is $80.  Tickets shouldn't be a problem, but finding a hotel room might be.

Thanks 5 WD, some websites show all tickets sold out. Question, it is not clear exactly what/where General Admin seats are, I see that you have G22, when a I queried the site below for GA seats no section/rows/seats are quoted

Doesn't GA mean bring your own chair and find some grass to sit on?

Quad, I don't know and am trying to find out. I don't want to drag my kid and myself to an event and not be able to view it properly nor reasonably sit comfortably.

From what I read, the general admission areas are between grandstands 15, 24 and 22 in the hairpin; behind grandstand 34, close to grandstand 33.

Sorry to say but in GA you will end up watching the race on the big screens around the track.

Guy, kinda what I expected. thanks.  That would be a big disappointement for my son and a considered waist of limited funds.

We go to Mosport (almost a yearly affair) and you can get very close to the action from whatever view point you want practically. 

I was at Mtl GP F1 in 03', long story short, came in second place in a betting game competition based on 02' season results on a F1 website, 2nd place prize was a pair of  3 day pass of good seats in Sec. 24.  I'm not willing to spend $500+ on an event like this as their are higher priorities.
