Montreal becomes the second Gran Turismo event in a row to sell out, after the 2023 World Finals were watched by a capacity crowd in Barcelona last year. Of course, while a World Finals sell-out in a GT-crazy country like Spain wasn't too surprising, a sell-out for the first event of the year in North America indicates a strong start for the World Series.
It's also worth noting the new event format is more spectator-friendly, with both the Manufacturers Cup and Nations Cup happening on the same day.
General admission tickets could be purchased for either the Manufacturers or Nations events at $15C each, or a single "Gold Ticket" could be purchased for $40C, granting access to both along with a limited-edition GT t-shirt. All ticket types have sold out.
Anticipation for Montreal is growing after confirmation the World Series event would be used to reveal information about Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.49 — an unprecedented announcement which has fueled speculation the next patch could include a more significant content update.
No new tracks are listed on the official race line-up, but an updated, race-spec Genesis Vision GT has already been unveiled and will almost certainly be coming to GT7 sooner rather than later.
