Pricing for F1 Circuit of the America's Out - OUCH

So the pricing has come out for some of the tickets at the Circuit of the America (COTA) track here in Austin. Well, I guess you can tell the type of people that come to the F1 race events.  I have never been to a racing event, but I have to say from the pricing, I think the clientele at F1 and NASCAR are quite a bit different!

Granted, I already had heard that the people that followed the F1 events were well to do, but I think I was caught by surprise with the discrepancy that this pricing will bring.  Sure, the tickets being shown right now would be considered the "box-seats", but they seem to be really expensive, especially since this is just one of the stops on the F1 tour.  Here is a link to the article I was reading:

If I am reading this correctly, it appears to me that the cheapest of the premium tickets will be close to $2,000.  This includes the seat license and season ticket.  So, it would be for more than one event at the track.  I think they only have 2 listed as of now for the year.  Here is a link to the prices:

Well, either way, it does look like they are coming along on the track.  It should be pretty cool to have an F1 event in our backyard.  If they are able to get all of the premium tickets sold to people coming in from out of town, that should be great for the economy, because if they can afford those tickets, they will be spending some serious cash in the area.
