US Grand Prix organizers promised a superstar performer. Now it's offering to buy back tickets

This year’s musical performer at the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, is generating such excitement that Circuit of the Americas (COTA) is offering to buy ’early bird’ tickets back from buyers and pay ticket holders an extra $50. The Grand Prix has a tradition of hosting high-profile artists before the race, and this year’s performer is expected to be one of the biggest since Taylor Swift. COTA hopes to resell tickets at higher prices than the initial $299 fee. The announcement of the performer is set for April 29, and early bird buyers have until May 6 to sell back their tickets for $350.
