Park and View pay on the day ?

I missed out on P&V tickets for departures day on Monday due to a hospital stay and notice now they are sold out. Can you buy them on the day ?

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2023 General Discussion Thread

Departure day went very smoothly for me - left home at 4:45am and was at Fairford by 8am and walked along the south side by the Whelford road to see what I could see in case stuff doesn't depart.
