Why is Friday the biggest night at Bord'Elle during race weekend?

Friday has been Montreal's premiere race weekend party night for over a decade. With Practice 1 and Sprint Qualifying earlier in the day, the evening buzz is unmatched — drawing the largest crowds of celebrities, F1 personalities, and partygoers. Bord'Elle's Friday event consistently sells out weeks in advance.

How early should I book Friday tickets?

As early as possible. Friday at Bord'Elle regularly sells out 3-4 weeks before race weekend. VIP tables and bottle service packages sell out even earlier. We recommend securing your tickets the moment they become available.

Is there a VIP area separate from general admission on Friday?

Yes. VIP ticket holders enjoy a dedicated elevated section with premium sightlines to the stage, personal bottle service, and a dedicated server. The VIP experience includes priority entry — no waiting in the general admission line.

What time do the cabaret performances start on Friday?

The first performance begins around 9:30 PM, with shows continuing throughout the night until 1:30 AM. The headline act typically takes the stage between 11:00 PM and midnight. Arrive early for dinner to secure the best viewing positions.
