We get asked all the time what exactly the MotoGP VIP Village is — the most prestigious hospitality solution in the MotoGP World Championship — what it includes, how much it costs, and what benefits it actually delivers.

Let’s be upfront: in all honesty, the VIP Pass may not be the ticket you’re looking for. As with any hospitality or sports marketing solution, the VIP Village won’t necessarily be the right fit for everyone, and it’s worth saying that clearly from the start.

In this article we’ll break down this hospitality package in detail, weighing up its strengths and its limitations.

What is the MotoGP VIP Village?

The VIP Village is the official corporate hospitality offering of the MotoGP World Championship, and it’s the most prestigious entry package in world motorcycle racing.

What does that actually mean?

First and foremost, the VIP Village isn’t run by external agencies, racetracks, or third-party operators — it’s managed directly by Dorna, the rights holder of the MotoGP World Championship and the organiser of the championship itself. In other words, not only are the (very high) quality standards guaranteed, but they’re also consistent across every circuit on the calendar. Buying into the VIP Village means buying into real security and transparency: you’re not putting your trust in a third party, but in the very team that organises and runs the races themselves.

Second, the VIP Village is the most prestigious official entry package available for a two-wheel race, offering its holders rights and benefits that no other ticket or pass can match. That’s exactly what we’ll cover next.

What’s included in the MotoGP VIP Village?

This is one of the most important — and, it has to be said, most commonly misunderstood — parts of the VIP Village conversation. To simplify things, the package’s key benefits break down into three main areas:

• LOCATION, also known as the Venues
• ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAMME
• CATERING, often referred to as the Gourmet Experience or Food & Wine

Let’s look at each in detail.

Location: views, parking, dedicated areas

Think of the VIP Village as a kind of private resort set up in the best spots on the circuit (at Mugello, for example, the VIP Village sits inside the building above the start-finish straight; at Misano it’s a large structure in the Turn 1 infield). VIP Pass holders can spend the whole race day — or days — just metres from the track, watching the action from some of the most privileged viewpoints available. At several circuits, including Misano, there’s also a dedicated grandstand reserved for VIP guests, positioned right next to the starting grid. Beyond watching the race, practice and qualifying, the VIP Village areas double as a hub for the whole weekend: guests can talk business, have lunch, hold meetings, enjoy a drink at the on-site open bars, and use the space as a base for everything happening around the circuit. These are genuinely high-end venues — carpeted floors, air conditioning, plasma screens on the walls, soundproofed glass, designer furnishings, and every detail geared towards an outstanding experience.

There’s more: among the many perks tied to the VIP Village venues is dedicated parking reserved exclusively for VIP guests inside the circuit, just steps from the entrance to the facilities. That means no queues, no hassle, and the ability to drive right up past the circuit gates.

Entertainment: Paddock Tour, Pit Lane Walk, WIN Raffle prizes

This has always been the part that draws the most attention from prospective VIP Village guests, largely thanks to the paddock access it unlocks. The entertainment offering centres on three core experiences:

• PADDOCK TOUR: a 30-45 minute tour of the paddock in groups of 5-10 people, run once a day with an official Dorna/VIP Village guide.
• PIT LANE WALK: a roughly 45-minute walk along the pit lane a few minutes before the MotoGP qualifying session on Saturday and before the Moto3 race on Sunday. Running simultaneously for the whole VIP Village, this experience lets guests see the garages open, walk past the pit walls, and stand on the circuit tarmac itself — a genuine up-close look at where the action actually happens.
• WIN RAFFLE PRIZES: An in-house VIP Village prize draw offering merchandise and experience prizes, such as a lap of the circuit’s emergency lanes in a BMW X5.

Catering: Gourmet Lunch, Open Bar, coffee service

Too often overlooked by prospective VIP Village buyers, the food and beverage side of the Village is genuinely one of the standout features of two-wheel hospitality. Lunch — featuring local specialities and gastronomic classics prepared by top-level chefs — comes paired with an extensive selection of wines, cocktails and coffee available all day across the venues and their connected bars. From breakfast to the afternoon aperitivo, from mid-morning coffee to a proper afternoon snack, guests are genuinely spoiled from a food and wine perspective throughout the entire day.

How much does the MotoGP VIP Village cost?

When it comes to pricing, let’s be clear from the outset: the VIP Village isn’t cheap, especially compared with other entry packages in the MotoGP World Championship. On average, a VIP Pass (available for one or two days) ranges from roughly €900 (Sunday only, at the more affordable rounds) up to around €1,500 (Saturday and Sunday at the most expensive rounds): for a full breakdown of pricing, see this page for up-to-date costs across every round of the championship.
