If you go to the F1 race here DO NOT BUY ANY package from the COTA website. When I inquired about packages I was sent pictures of couches, nice comfy chairs and tables everywhere. That was the major factor in my decision seeing is that we would be there for 10 hours a day for 3 days. When we arrived we were very surprised to see non of those comfortable couches, tables and chairs that were in the pictures sent to us. Instead there were cheap metal and wood chairs, 1x 2 person couch and zero comforts like was told to me in the purchasing process. We spent $2500.00 on each ticket for the "Owner's Club and the only people that had those comforts were the actual owners that sat in the same tent as us. They had plenty of those nice comfortable things in their section. When I spoke with Westin Pedigo (The person that sold us the tickets) we were told that the pictures we were sent was from last year and that they had complaints that there was to much furniture and not enough room for people. We were also told that they sold more tickets in the "Owner's Club" which told me that they made more money by selling more tickets and rented less furniture which tells me they cheaped it out this year. People were basically fighting for position in the chairs with the view, if you got up you were screwed. There wasn't nearly enough seats for all the people they sold tickets to. In addition to this they served decent food and beverage the entire 3 days. On race day they picked up the food over 40 minutes earlier then was written on there chalk board they had on both floors describing the menu's for the day. There were a few more issues but none nearly as bad as the ones described above.
I've called 3 times and emailed multiple times to talk to a manager about my issues and no one has tried to reach out to me about this at all. They got there $5,000 so they don't give a crap I guess.
I have to say for this race to be successful you need to have return guests, you'll never make it if people come once and never come back.
I recommend getting a regular lawn seat, sitting right in front of the "Owner's Club" tent and enjoy the race without spending all that money. You'll have the same exact experience!
