Track zones, race tickets and the pop-ups around town are covered in our hub, Singapore Grand Prix 2026 Guide: Tickets, Zones, and What to Do. This guide covers what the hub doesn’t: the actual maths behind every exhibition deal. If you remember how packed the city got when the 2024 race week rolled around, you’ll appreciate having a plan that keeps you in one place.

The F1 Exhibition and Its Deals
The Formula 1® Exhibition Singapore opened on 23 July and runs until Sunday, 18 October 2026, so it outlasts race weekend by a full week. It’s at Gardens by the Bay, 18 Marina Gardens Drive, Singapore 018953, near Satay by the Bay. Gardens by the Bay lists the hours as 11am to 7pm and notes that timings may change, so check before you set off.
It’s a paid ticket, and the price you end up paying depends heavily on who you are and when you buy.
What the Tickets Cost
The official exhibition page lists starting prices of S$29 for children aged 5 to 12, S$40 for ages 13 to 17 and S$49 for adults aged 18 and above. Children aged 4 and under go in free, and every child aged 5 and up needs their own ticket.
Those are starting prices, not flat rates, so check the price for your date on Ticketek before you commit.
The 20% Resident Rate
Singapore citizens, permanent residents (PRs) and valid pass holders get 20% off all ticket types on Ticketek. At the starting prices, 20% of S$49 is S$9.80, which brings an adult ticket to S$39.20. The teen ticket drops to S$32 (20% of S$40 is S$8) and the child ticket to S$23.20 (20% of S$29 is S$5.80).
For a family of two adults and two children aged 5 to 12, the full price is 2 × S$49 plus 2 × S$29, which comes to S$156. Taking 20% off saves S$31.20, so the family pays S$124.80.
This rate comes with strings attached. Ticketek describes the allocation as limited, first-come-first-served and subject to availability. It also can’t be applied to tickets you’ve already bought, and discounted tickets can’t be refunded or exchanged.
Every Other Offer on the Table
F1 Unlocked subscribers get 30% off tickets bought online for visits from 6 to 18 October 2026. According to the F1 Unlocked 30% off offer terms and conditions on Formula1.com, the discount is worked out on the original ticket price. 30% of S$49 is S$14.70, so an adult pays S$34.30. The teen ticket comes to S$28 and the child ticket to S$20.30, and the family of four from earlier pays S$109.20 instead of S$156.
The offer can’t be combined with other discounts, promotions, vouchers, concessions or special rates, so you can’t stack it on top of the resident 20%.
SAFRA offers 20% off for groups of 10 or more eligible members, from 1 September to 18 October 2026. Each person also gets one F1 Exhibition tote bag and one digital photo-download package, subject to availability. For ten adults at S$49, 20% of S$490 is S$98, so the group pays S$392. That’s the same saving as the resident rate, which means the tote and the photos are what make the difference.
Klook and Pelago also sell tickets, but they’re resale channels, not cheaper deals.
Which Deal Wins
At every ticket type and every price, 30% beats 20%, so an F1 Unlocked subscriber should use that offer. If you’d be signing up only for this exhibition, remember the gap on an adult ticket is S$4.90 (10% of S$49), so the subscription has to cost less than that per ticket to be worth it.
For a group of ten or more SAFRA members, the SAFRA booking matches the resident saving and throws in the extras, so book that way. Everyone else who qualifies as a resident should take the 20% off on Ticketek and book early.
Traps Before You Pay
Ticketek describes discounted tickets as non-refundable and non-exchangeable, so be sure of your date before you pay.
Our call: this is for fans who’d like to get closer to the sport than a grandstand seat allows. Book a weekday session after race weekend if crowds bother you, since the exhibition runs until 18 October.
📅 23 Jul to 18 Oct, 11am to 7pm · 📍 Gardens by the Bay, 18 Marina Gardens Drive · 💰 From S$49 adult, S$39.20 for residents · 🎟 Book on Ticketek
If You Can Only Do One
The exhibition sits at Gardens by the Bay, so a single afternoon there covers it without switching neighbourhoods.
The exhibition stays open until 18 October, so you’ll still have a quieter week to book it at the resident or F1 Unlocked rate after the cars have left Marina Bay.
Book exhibition tickets through Ticketek’s Formula 1® Exhibition Singapore page, where the resident rate is applied, and check the Gardens by the Bay listing for hours before you head over.
