ACM warns of fake ticketing scams for 2026 Grand Prix
By Michael Moretti, MonacoViews Editorial
The Automobile Club de Monaco has issued a warning about fraudulent websites selling fake tickets for the 2026 Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix.
With demand for Grand Prix weekend tickets among the most intense in world motorsport, scammers have once again set their sights on buyers hoping to secure a place on the circuit. The Automobile Club de Monaco has raised the alarm over a new wave of counterfeit ticketing websites offering what appear to be legitimate passes for the 2026 race.
Residents and visitors alike are being urged to purchase only through official ACM channels. Fraudulent sites can be convincing, mimicking the appearance of genuine platforms and offering prices designed to attract bargain-hunters. Those who pay often receive nothing in return, or documentation that is rejected at the gates.
The ACM is the sole authorised body for Grand Prix ticket sales, and any third-party site claiming to offer official access to the event should be treated with caution. If you are unsure whether a site is legitimate, contact the ACM directly before completing any purchase.
