Yes. One of our group is friends with, and does business with a member of the Dolphins marketing team. They run everything businesswise within the Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium organization. He was able to secure 16 tickets directly from the organization in September prior to the rights to ticket sales being sold to the various retail business interests. The Dolphins as you would expect retained many tickets to do with as they please, and ours came from this pool. These, if you could get them, are currently selling for @ $4,500 - $10,800 from vendors. Truly stupid money IMHO. Remember, this is grandstand seating, and there is no "Premium" in the word grandstand.
There will be a number of truly "Premium" accommodations erected around the course by various manufacturers, Ferrari; Mercedes; McLaren; etc. as well as businesses. These will be enclosed, AC, comfy seating, and all the amenities, free transportation, premium food, booze, and real bathrooms. Invitation only, and truly astronomical prices. Not for the hoi polloi.
