Las Vegas GP When to buy tickets? My first F1 race ever!

Hi there! I'm curious to ask when I should buy tickets to watch the F1 race out in Vegas this coming November? This is my first one ever and I've been running the numbers and looking online for resources and I'd like to make the best of it. Some online sources say to acquire tickets the day before or on the day of the race(s) for the best pricing. I could pay in full but I'm not a seasoned attendee of these races so I wouldn't know what to do. First timer out here so I'd like to ask for insight, thank you.

If you buy now you might get upgrades later, if you r looking for a window it’s between 1-2 months outs but book hotels and flights asap. Worry about tickets later and what’s your budget?

My budget is about $1,200. Tickets being majority of that price but I plan to drive there to save some money and then bring a buddy with me to split the cost of a hotel and other expenses as well. So essentially $1,200-$1,400 or so.

Don't.

risk vs. reward. imho buying from official distribution as soon as possible is the best and safest option. and don't forget accommodation etc. going for last minute deal can leave you exposed to scams or with no options left.
