Paddock Club & Champions Club — F1 Hospitality at Monza
Open bar, a paddock tour, and a driver walking past your table. Three real tiers, three real price points.
Monza runs three distinct hospitality tiers above a standard grandstand seat, and they're not interchangeable, so it's worth knowing which one you're actually being sold.
Champions Club sits in the Centrale grandstand, directly opposite the start-finish straight, and includes hospitality seating, a grid walk with a championship trophy photo, appearances from F1 insiders, and a guided paddock tour. The 2-day version has run at roughly €2,600 per person for recent seasons. It's the entry point into premium Monza, and it's still genuinely close to the action, since Centrale looks straight across at the team garages and the pit lane.
Paddock Club is the official F1 tier above that: covered seating with an outdoor balcony overlooking the team garages, an open bar running sparkling wine through to spirits, a proper sit-down lunch service, and a one-time guided tour through the actual restricted paddock where the chance of a driver selfie is real rather than promised. It's a 3-day ticket only, no single-day option, and recent comparable races have priced it somewhere between €4,500 and €6,500 per person. There's no way to buy just Sunday.
Then there's House 44, the Lewis Hamilton and Soho House collaboration that's been touring select races since 2025 and returns to Monza for 2026. It's built inside the Paddock Club footprint above the start-finish straight, styled like an actual Soho House rather than generic corporate hospitality, with its own cocktail menu and semi-regular Hamilton appearances across the weekend. For 2026 at Monza, House 44 sold out before race weekend, which tells you what kind of demand this specific product has compared with standard Paddock Club.
None of these three tiers include your race ticket automatically bundled with a hotel or flights. They're hospitality add-ons to the weekend, priced and sold separately from a standard grandstand seat, and most people buying them are doing it through F1 Experiences or an authorized reseller rather than turning up and asking at the gate.
If you're weighing which one actually matters for a client: Champions Club buys the atmosphere and the grid walk without the full paddock access. Paddock Club buys the paddock itself. House 44 buys a specific, branded experience inside that same paddock that happens to be harder to get than the standard version.
Why it's special
Most Grand Prix hospitality is interchangeable between circuits: the same white marquee, the same open bar, the same generic "VIP experience" language. What's different about Monza is what's on the other side of the fence. This is a paddock that's hosted Ferrari's actual home race since before hospitality tiers existed as a concept, and a guided walk through it means walking past the exact garages the Tifosi have been screaming outside of all weekend.
House 44 selling out before the weekend even started is the detail that tells the real story here. It's not just that people want a nice lunch and a good seat. It's that they want the specific version of the paddock that has Lewis Hamilton wandering through it. At a circuit like Monza, where the crowd outside is already the loudest fan base on the calendar, that kind of demand for the tier just above them says something about how far the appetite goes.
Insider tips
- 1
House 44 sold out for Monza 2026 ahead of race weekend — if a client wants it for a future season, the booking window opens with the general Paddock Club on-sale, not separately.
- 2
Champions Club Centrale looks directly across at the team garages and pit lane, so even without paddock access, it's a genuinely strong view for the price relative to Paddock Club.

What to avoid
Don't buy Paddock Club expecting a single-day option — it's a 3-day ticket only, so a client who only wants Sunday should look at Champions Club instead. And don't assume a driver selfie or appearance is guaranteed on any tier — the paddock tour and grid walk are real and confirmed, but which drivers show up and when is never published in advance.
