Here are some answers to questions about the show, the parking lot and more:
How does the parking lot operate at Pease Air Show? Can I still go to show whether the parking lot is sold out?
The overall entrance to the exhibition is free, and you don’t need a ticket to get to Air Show. However, all cars must have a free parking lot, which was reserved in advance to stand at the air show, at the National Guard.
All free parking spaces were quickly reserved when parking lots were released and now sold out, so if you don’t already have a parking lot, you can’t build an air show.
There were also several steps of the highest quality seats and parking packages, but they were all sold out as well.
