RIAT 2013
« on: December 18, 2012, 04:02:43 am »
Taken from the "Air Tattoo" home page

Visitors planning to attend next summer's Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford, who purchase their tickets before January 7, will enjoy a saving of up to £14 on the price of admission.

Special Super Earlybird tickets go on sale this week (November 19) for next summer's event, which takes place on July 20-21.

In a bid to keep tickets as affordable as possible for its many supporters, we have decided to cap the price of the Sunday admission ticket, adding just £1 on to the 2012 admission price. This means that a Super Earlybird Sunday ticket will be available until January 6, priced just £30.

This compares with the £35 cost of a Super Earlybird Saturday ticket.

Between January 7 and April 3, Earlybird tickets will be available priced £40 for the Saturday and £35 for the Sunday.

After April 3, the standard advance ticket will go on sale, priced £45 (Saturday) and £40 (Sunday). Each order after April 3 will be subject to a £4 admin fee.

The Air Tattoo's Head of Marketing Helen Webb said: "We've introduced the new pricing structure to reflect the growing number of people who are looking for extra-value in these challenging times.

"By introducing specially-priced Sunday tickets and enabling all accompanied under-16s to come in for free, visitors can enjoy one of the UK's greatest outdoor events next summer at an extremely competitive price."

The Royal International Air Tattoo 2013 will bring together air arms from around the world in a celebration of aviation excellence.

Helen added: "Last summer's Air Tattoo was a great success with new aerobatic display teams taking part, stealth aircraft and three new countries participating. We're planning to match all that excitement with an equally thrilling airshow in July." :buttrock:



Would Make a Great "Christmas Present"  :biggrin:

frustratingly slow this year with the up dates, sign of the times I suppose and I'm sure that everyone concerned is doing their best to provide the best show possible. I suppose as it stands it would be a superb show any where in Ireland. I'm still going whatever turns up, everything booked and paid for.

Sadly have to give this years RIAT a miss and sadly it  may Vulcan's last year  on the display scene 

I think the team at Douglas Badder House Ae gonna have a very tough time repeating last year's excellent show 
Cutbacks world wide are having an effect on many airshows
