Secondary tickets surge for F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, but a sellout appears unlikely

Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — Sales on the secondary-ticket market were surging for Saturday night’s Las Vegas Grand Prix, but plenty of tickets were on sale on the Ticketmaster site for the Formula One race as of early in the afternoon. McLaren driver Lando Norris, of Britain, takes part in the final practice session for the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix auto race, Friday, Nov. 17, 2023, in Las Vegas. “It is by far the largest I can remember.” He said F1 isn’t typically a heavily bet sport, but the Las Vegas race has captured the attention of those who otherwise might put their money elsewhere. Jay Kornegay, vice president of race and sports operations at Westgate Las Vegas, said in a text message betting was “most likely a record,” but still wasn’t on the same level as other major American sports such as the NFL.
