I purchased my VIP tickets from COTA directly instead of motogp.com. The COTA tickets cost roughly $80 more but it gives you access to the air conditioned suites above the paddock on Friday as well, whereas motogp.com only gives access on Saturday/Sunday. You can also go to the grandstands at T1 and 15, whereas motogp.com gives you the grand stands facing the start/finish line only.

Tickets for COTA VIP - $1300
Flight - $600
Hotel split between 4 people - $200 each
Car rental split between 4 people - $100 each

The VIP area is directly above the paddock, with AC, food and an open bar all day (beers are $12 bucks so I think we'll make a portion of our money back just from food and drinks lol). Dinner is not covered as the day ends by 5pm. However we got an invite from Yamaha for R1M owners to join them for dinner on Friday and a meet and greet with the MotoAmerica team, with a chance to meet the GP riders as well (650ib on youtube documented his trip last year and they got to meet Rossi and Lorenzo). Bringing my helmet to get signed for sure
