Monaco 2012 Grand Prix? Anyone going?
Will anyone be attending the 2012 Monaco Grand Prix this year? My girlfriend and I were looking to go maybe next year. Anyone have any stories to share about it? I was looking at passes to this even. Does $500 seem about a ballpark price?

My best friend and I went years ago. He was going to take the lady he was seeing but at the last minute she hit the road. He called and said I have a ticket if you want to go... We did.... My God what an amazing time. We stayed at the Loews Hotel (now the Grand Hotel) and we sat in the K-grandstands for the race at Tabacs corner. Watched Qualifying from the top of the hotel. Stood next to the TV camera! The race was great and the entire week was well worth the price of admission. Would I go again? Hell yes!!!!! Gotta hit the lottery first!

We live in the USA and flying to Europe for such a short time would not be worth it. We would have to make a vacation out of it to justify to flight. About how much were you paying for passes? I keep seeing $500 so I am guessing that is a propor price to pay?

In 1990 in the K-Grandstand (Tabac corner) I recall it was about $350.00 USD for Sunday only. I watched qualifying from the top of the Loew's Hotel. Thursday practice was viewed from a boat. It was BIG money for the race week and I understand there are no bargins in Monaco "EVER"! If you're and F1 fan or if F1 is a sickness (I have that!) then Monaco is a must do at least once. If you just want to see a race go to Spain or Spa.
