Organisers of the Air Tattoo’s 40th anniversary celebrations are warning that time is running out for anyone wanting to save money with the event’s special Earlybird tickets.
Ticket prices under the Earlybird scheme cost just £34 compared to £39 for day-specific tickets for the world-famous airshow, which takes place at RAF Fairford on July 16-17.
There is also a £4 booking fee for orders taken online or over the phone, representing a potential saving of up to £9 a ticket. Accompanied under-16s get in free of charge.
The Earlybird offer closes on Monday, March 1, and Air Tattoo deputy director of marketing Helen Webb is keen to remind people of the savings under the Earlybird ticket scheme, especially as many people are having to tighten their belts this year.
“Our prices mean that families can enjoy a day out savouring all the excitement of the world’s largest military airshow this summer without breaking the bank,” she said.
Air Tattoo organisers are planning a range of breath-taking set pieces both in the air and on the ground to mark 40 years of staging world-class airshows.
The first Air Tattoo was held at North Weald airfield and the annual event has since grown to become one of the UK’s biggest outdoor public events. It is staged annually in support of the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust. More than 150,000 people are expected this year.
As well as day-specific Earlybird tickets, there is also an opportunity to buy tickets valid for either Saturday (July 16) or Sunday (July 17), two-day weekend tickets and tickets for the various grandstands and enclosures. A full range of ticket options is available at airtattoo.com or by calling the Air Tattoo box office on 0800 107 1940.
