Just a day after Lando Norris celebrated victory at Interlagos, F1 fans are already looking ahead to the 2027 Sao Paulo GP, with tickets going on presale for select customers. With Eventim taking responsibility for ticket sales once again, the first phase of presale goes live on November 9 at 12 PM BRT for Porto Bank customers, who can purchase up to four tickets per CPF. Notably, the Porto grandstand will not be available during this presale.
The next phase will begin on November 12, exclusively for American Express (AmEx) cardholders, before general sales open to the public on November 16. The 2027 Brazilian Grand Prix is scheduled to take place from November 5 to 7 at Interlagos.
In an email sent to fans, according to the popular Instagram fan account f1gossipofficial, F1 Sao Paulo also confirmed that all grandstand seats will only be available in a limited quantity.
Fans will have seven grandstand options to choose from, with each offering a different perspective of the circuit. Grandstands A, B, and M overlook the pit exit, starting grid, podium and the main straight. Meanwhile, stands D and H offer views of the iconic Senna Ss (also known as the Curva do Sol) and the approach to Turn 4.
Stands R and G will also be available in the presale, and are positioned along the back straight, with stand G providing a view of the cars at high speed on the start-finish straight.
The announcement comes less than 24 hours after Norris’ latest triumph at Interlagos, which has added another compelling chapter to the 2026 F1 season. The victory might well end up playing a role in convincing fans to jump on the tickets early, in the hope that next year’s race is equally as entertaining.
2026 Sao Paulo GP Tickets Were Sold Out in Minutes
While the move to announce the presale tickets might leave many people scratching their heads, it all makes sense when looking at the numbers from this year’s race. With a sell-out crowd attending the Sao Paulo weekend in 2026, the hype for it had started in 2025 itself.
General ticket sales for the 2026 race opened on November 17, 2025, and reportedly sold out in just eight minutes. The astonishing pace of sales highlighted how immensely popular Formula 1 is in Brazil. Additionally, it also underlined the challenge fans face in securing a seat at the iconic Interlagos circuit.
Demand was equally intense during the 2026 presale phase, with customers of Porto Bank and AmEx competing with each other for the limited allocations. In fact, things got so extreme that the race organizers released around 1,000 additional tickets that couldn’t be confirmed previously.
Reports suggested that the sale of these tickets was completed in under a minute, with approximately 30,000 people waiting in the online queue.
With the 2027 edition already attracting attention through its presale announcements, fans will be hoping to avoid a repeat of last year’s ticketing chaos.
The Sao Paulo GP Sellout Is Nothing Compared to the Mexico City GP Record
While Sao Paulo’s eight-minute sell-out for 2026 underlined the extraordinary demand for Formula 1 in Brazil, it still fell short of the remarkable pace recorded by the 2015 Mexican Grand Prix, which sold out in just five minutes.
Following F1’s 23-year absence from the country, the sport decided to return to Mexico, with home driver Sergio Perez driving for Force India at the time. He started the race from P9 and opted for a bold one-stop strategy that nearly worked well for him. However, his progress was ultimately undone by a late safety car, as he crossed the finish line in P8.
Perez became only the second Mexican driver in F1 history to score points at a home Grand Prix. The feat added to the spectacle of a race that had already sold out in under five minutes, and with the addition of more Brazilian drivers on the grid, the Sao Paulo GP organizers will be hoping for something similar.
