Frankfurt: Hockenheim is hoping to win back German Formula One fans after their home race was cancelled this year, and following poor attendances in 2014, by announcing cheaper tickets for youngsters and those buying early for 2016.
This year’s German Grand Prix was dropped due to financial difficulties but the race is back on next season’s 21-round provisional calendar.
Hockenheim and the Nuerburgring have an alternation agreement for the race but the latter dropped out after a change of ownership while the former was unwilling to step in at short notice this year.
Organisers said advance sales for 2016 would start today - exactly a year before the July 31 race - with a revised ‘family friendly’ pricing structure.
A limited offering will see three-day weekend tickets priced from 99 euros ($108.59), the price of a standard Sunday ticket, while children under six get in for free. Under-16s can buy weekend tickets for 50 euros.
The move follows reduced prices introduced by Silverstone for this year’s British Grand Prix.
