The Imola Circuit has announced that people who bought tickets for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix will be eligible for refunds.
On Wednesday, F1 confirmed that the race wouldn’t go ahead due to flooding in the area.
In the early stages of the week, it was speculated that the race would be disrupted in some form due to the challenges presented by the heavy rainfall.
But in the interest of safety and not adding further constraints on local authorities, the decision to postpone the race was made public two days before the first day of on-track action was due to get underway.
As a result, all fans who purchased tickets will be offered a refund, or the option to transfer their tickets to 2024 to attend the race next year.
“Due to the ongoing weather emergency in the Emilia Romagna region, the event “Formula 1 Qatar Airways Made in Italy and Emilia Romagna Grand Prix”, scheduled from 19 to 21 May, will not be held,” read a statement from the Imola circuit.
“All buyers who have purchased tickets through the sales network and the ticketone.it purchasing platform are informed that the opportunity to convert the tickets purchased with tickets for the 2024 event or alternatively the economic reimbursement.
“Given the ongoing emergency in the region, the methods and timing of the refund will be announced with a subsequent communication that will be sent by e-mail in the next few days by ACI Sport, a company of the Automobile Club of Italy, through the provider official ticket office Ticketone.it.”
