The cheapest place I could find for tickets then was direct with the circuit; however, I do know that they are sold out for the Sunday. I think the f1.com website may have them available but they do add a premium (or at least, only offer the more expensive tickets)...
Yes, you can book a grandstand seat... the best ime is at the second chicane...
We went in 2009 and booked tickets on-line directly from Monza circuit.
We were in the grandstands at Ascari .... note that you do not get individual seats here, it's just a concrete bench with numbers painted on, and each place is only really wide enough for an anorexic supermodel ... or an Italian I guess
Another thing we found was, that if you're coming in from Milan on the train, the nearest entrance to the station is at Lesmo and the gates there don't seem to be *quite* as busy as others

Here we go! Hungarian GP, Jake just did quite a good speech on the infamous deal, McLaren look strong, Vettel on pole but we know how strong Hamilton is at the moment and maybe Button can follow Hamilton to a 1-2 finish.
COME ON McLAREN!!!!

That and a stupid McLaren strategy with tyres, what is going on!?
On the other hand, JBs 200th race and at the moment, it looks like he is going to win it, get in!
Still fuming that LH threw away a McLaren 1-2 though.

Could not agree more, the BBC sent over 200 pundits to the Olympics countdown last week, Sky sent 6. BBC wastes money hand over fist. Grrr

Felt like a looong race.I thought the first few laps were the slowest I've ever seen F1 cars going.
Hamilton had lost the win before the rain came as he needed to be pulling out enough of a gap on Button for the pitstop, and actually Button was catching him. I'm quite surprised not to see Hamilton in much more of a mood.
