Daniel Ricciardo greeted fans and posed for selfies on Melbourne’s Walk on the morning of Thursday, March 21, 2024, before meeting the press. Corporate hospitality for the Australian Grand Prix was reported at A$1,550–A$4,595 per person for race day and as much as A$6,550 per person for multi-day access. Those are reported 2024 prices, not current ticket offers.
When and where Ricciardo met fans
PerthNow reported that Ricciardo appeared on the Melbourne Walk at Albert Park on Thursday morning, March 21, greeting fans and stopping for selfies before his press commitments. The 2024 Australian Grand Prix ran from Thursday, March 21, to Sunday, March 24.
In comments attributed by PerthNow to 7NEWS, Ricciardo said: “A home crowd, it’s something you cherish and enjoy,” adding, “And I know these moments won’t last forever. I’ll definitely soak it in this weekend.”
How much Australian Grand Prix hospitality cost in 2024
Corporate Traveller, Flight Centre Travel Group’s corporate travel division, reported hospitality prices of A$1,550–A$4,595 per person for race-day access and prices up to A$6,550 per person for passes covering two or three days. PerthNow also reported those ranges. These figures describe packages reported for the 2024 event; they should not be read as current prices or an offer for a future Grand Prix.

Three-day options named by Corporate Traveller
| Package | Reported 2024 price | Duration and experience |
|---|---|---|
| The Park | A$2,195 per ticket | Three days; dining, DJs and an outdoor viewing deck. Corporate Traveller described it as the lowest-priced three-day hospitality option it listed. |
| Red Bull Energy Station | A$6,550 per person | Three days; dining, drinks, DJs, live entertainment and Red Bull team appearances. |
These hospitality packages included hosted amenities and entertainment, so their prices are not directly comparable with a general-admission pass or a reserved grandstand seat.
How hospitality compared with standard ticket prices
For context, Sporting News reported that an adult four-day Park Pass for the 2024 event cost A$279, while four-day grandstand tickets ranged from A$455 to A$690. The Park Pass and grandstand figures cover different entry and viewing arrangements from hospitality: a grandstand provides a reserved seat, while hospitality packages add specified food, beverage or entertainment access.

What the corporate travel figures do—and do not—show
Corporate Traveller said its business travel bookings around the 2024 Grand Prix were up 146% against the comparable 2023 event period. It reported that 91% of those bookings came from within Australia and that 25% of its relevant flight bookings were scheduled for Thursday, March 21. These are figures from the company’s own booking data, not official attendance totals or a measure of all event travel.
For historical context, the same report cited Drive’s figure of 444,631 attendees across the four days of the 2023 event. That is a reported 2023 total, not the attendance figure for the 2024 Grand Prix.
