The Formula 1 Grand Prix took place in Miami, Florida this weekend as fans, spectators and celebrities watched the car race at the Miami International Speedway and took in the social scene near Hard Rock Stadium.
One of the most coveted tickets for the weekend was an entry to the Hard Rock Beach Club, where a three-day pass cost $1,750 and promised “top-notch trackside entertainment” along with an extensive food and beverage menu. And while that entry fee can be pocket change billionaire participants such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, menu prices were on the rise.
