The Estrella Galicia 0,0 grand prix of Spain returns to the iconic Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto from 24 – 26 APR. This Andalusian venue is famed for producing close racing thanks to its technical layout: the track layout features 13 corners—eight to the right and five to the left—and the premier class will complete 25 laps for a total race distance of 110.6 km. Fans come for the action on track and the festive atmosphere off it; the combination of twisty sections and long straights gives riders regular overtaking chances and creates a weekend packed with highlights.
The setting itself helps sell the weekend: warm weather, scenic hills and passionate local supporters add to the spectacle. Choosing where to watch is part of the experience—sections like Grandstand A10 are prized for last-corner dramas and straight-line acceleration into the finish. Options range from reserved seats to general admission, giving spectators the flexibility to tailor their view. Whether you want a close-up of pit exits, a panoramic vantage of multiple corners, or roaming access across the paddock perimeter, there are ticket types to suit different preferences.
Tickets and entry: who issues them and what to expect
It is important to understand how ticketing works for the event: MGP Group is the organizer of the MotoGP Championship but does not directly issue circuit access tickets. The official ticket reseller managing the motogp.com shop for this event is Platinium Group Spain S.L., which sells and supplies the physical and digital tickets. All purchases are handled under the reseller’s terms and conditions, and any rules about entry conditions—security checks, prohibited items, or venue-specific policies—are set by the circuit operator, not by MGP Group or the reseller. If you plan to attend, check the reseller’s instructions and the circuit’s entry guidelines before you travel to avoid surprises at the gates.
