Australian Grand Prix ticket on-sale postponed as Ticketmaster melts down

Ticketmaster has been forced to postpone the sale of tickets to next year’s Australian Grand Prix, blaming a global third party outage for the “inconvenience”.

Demand for next March’s event is expected to be at an all-time high with Aussie Oscar Piastri in hot form, Jack Doohan making his Formula 1 debut and Lewis Hamilton appearing in a Ferrari car for the first time.

While tickets for the general public were scheduled to be released at midday on Tuesday, Ticketmaster has postponed the onsale until Wednesday at midday.

“A global outage is being blamed for this,” 3AW sports reporter Jordan Tunbridge told Tony Moclair.

Due to a global third-party outage, the FORMULA 1 AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2025 general public onsale will be delayed until tomorrow, Wednesday 9 October 12pm (AEDT).
