Tickets to SailGP’s hotly-anticipated Auckland debut are now on general public sale and demand is expected to be high after a limited pre-sale release saw thousands of tickets snapped up in hours.
The ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix | Auckland will take place on January 18-19, 2025 with Peter Burling's home team The Black Foils leading the charge against the F50 fleet on home waters.
SailGP has unveiled a first look at its purpose-built Race Stadium for the event, which is set to give fans a whole new perspective on the racing.
From the shoreline to the skyline, the grandstand will temporarily transform the City of Sails into the City of SailGP, offering world-class race viewing meters above the shore.
Fans will experience the global racing championship’s largest fleet to date, with 11 F50 catamarans flying at speeds upwards of 100 kilometres per hour, right in the heart of the inner Waitematā Harbour.
Speaking about the event, SaiLGP managing director described the ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix as 'a standout event on New Zealand's summer sporting calendar'.
"Our Auckland debut will be no exception - building on world-class race viewing close to shore, and thousands enjoying the action right in the city centre.”
Black Foils driver Peter Burling called for fans to show their support, as the team looks to defend its ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix title in the nation’s biggest city.
"The racecourse and the grandstand village look absolutely amazing, and it’s really exciting to see how it’s shaping up. Knowing that the grandstand is full of Kiwis cheering you on is quite a special feeling. I think the atmosphere will be unreal - it’ll be a weekend that fans won’t forget.”
Additional information about race day entertainment will be revealed soon.
