RIAT 2024 Tickets - Questions & Answers

[Heyford Man]

Just received an E mail offering “ super early bird tickets “ and the Park and view tickets have gone up from £16 ( £19 full price ) to £25

[jasonT1981]

Yup, seems a big price rise.

Grandstand seats (not even on sale yet) are £25 extra for the premium seats (top row and isles) where-as it used to only be £5 extra.

It all comes down to supply and demand. It's only worth what people are prepared to pay for it. If everyone said "no that's too expensive" and didn't buy it I'm sure the prices would come down but if it all sells out again (which it will) they'll feel the price hike was justified and continue to charge it/increase it.

[Discodaz]

as park and view seems to get more popular every year as i can see, its inevitable the price for this event would rise regardless.
but to be fair (imo), 25 quid to see every airframe at the event fly is money well spent

Introducing exciting new aircraft themes for RIAT24

The Royal International Air Tattoo will take place on the 19th, 20th and 21st July 2024 and we're announcing new aircraft themes to fire you up for the next aviation extravaganza.



RIAT24 marks the 50th Anniversary of the F-16 Fighting Falcon's first flight and RIAT will host a global celebration of this impressive combat jet. Join us to see a fantastic static line-up of Fighting Falcons from around the world as well as spectacular F-16 flying displays.



In addition, our operational theme will be Pushing the Boundaries in Air and Space, where we will be highlighting the important work of flight test and evaluation in modern aviation, with aircraft and organisations from around the world, showcasing their latest technological developments.

Very presumptuous of them to expect F-16 displays(plural!). I'd have thought the Belgian was fairly good odds, but not guaranteed. Whilst the Greek, Turkish and Polish vipers haven't exactly been itching to come over of late.. A debut for Romania would be good.

Also, shouldn't that be good enough to start the 2024 thread?

[jasonT1981]

Good point, I'll get one going

[Johno]

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but is it just the advanced park and view tickets that have been sold out and more will be released on a week by week basis ?

many thanks in advance.

[James Cutting]

You will only get Park & View tickets now if you turn up early on the day. They reserve a batch for each day and usually, you can get one.

[Johno]

Thanks James, that's great.

[david coughlan]

Wow just booked my ticket for Sunday usually go Mon as well cant believe they are sold out.
Staying at Cotswold park Sun Night so if anyone has any spares?
or I guess i will have to get there early and pay cash if possible

[jasonT1981]

You can buy on the day on Monday. Happens every year since return from Covid. Monday tickets sell out quick, but as long as you are there early Monday morning you can buy a ticket at the gate.

[david coughlan]

Brilliant
Thanks for the info

Hi,

When you say be there early, how early? At around 6.30am would be early enough?

Thanks,

People are standing outside the main gate from 3am so very early.

You can definitely buy at the gate as I had to do this a few years ago and to be honest I have never seen anyone turned away cause its too busy and I've never heard anyone say they couldn't get in by paying at the gate.
