Add another 900 on top of that for airfare... looks like I may not have enough money to go around Europe afterwards... I'll probably have to rethink how I want to go to Monaco.
Did anybody ever get a pit ticket? It's 1000 dollars!
Nononononoooooooo....
That’s way to much. It might be ok when it's with the airplane tickets but without them not. Do it on your own. It will be cheaper and more fun (something like adventure). I also don’t have my tickets now but I expect the price between 100-500 Euro. Accommodation should be below 100 Euro per person a night. Even in hotel. You just have to look for something not related to F1. So it should be a bit far away of Monaco. That's why we plan to take train to the race. Prices for Camping places will also be higher than normal. Maybe 50 Euro per person or tent. I dont know how much you have to spend for flying to Europe. It might depend where you come from. I guess when you live near to a holiday location you will be able to get cheap flights.
For travelling around europe:
Paris is a good place to go. I have been there several times. You can go there by night train. It is cheap (prolly 15-35Euro) and you don't need a hotel for that night. In Paris you will find many hotels. Among them are also cheap ones. Expect something like 75 Euro night/person. You have to plan some money for food in France but it's worth it. They are rally great in cooking. After some days in Paris you can continue to London and from there back home. You better stay away of the British food, its bad stuff unlike you are not used to it.
If you rather like to spend your holidays at the sea you should stay in the south of France or go to Italy.
Btw. how old are you? Maybe you can do your trip on your own. It will not be easy for your mom you walk around Monaco when there is the F1 GP. You know many streets will be closed, Fans all around, expensive town....
On the same time you don't have to be worried when you walk around on your own. It is not dangerous here.
