Ticket Options and Categories
The Los Angeles County Air Show offers a variety of ticket categories designed to accommodate every guest, from aviation enthusiasts to families looking for a memorable weekend outing. While we do not publish specific prices on this page, all ticketing information, including current rates and availability, can be found directly on our official ticketing platform, Attendstar. Generally, our tickets fall into several broad categories, each providing a different level of access and comfort.
General Admission is the most popular choice and grants access to all public viewing areas, static aircraft displays, and many ground-based attractions. Seating is not reserved in general admission areas; guests are encouraged to bring their own chairs or blankets, though a limited number of bleacher seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Premium Viewing packages often include access to shaded pavilions, prime show line seating, and sometimes complimentary refreshments. VIP Experiences may offer exclusive perks such as preferred parking, private restroom facilities, and meet-and-greet opportunities with performers. Family packages and group discounts may be available for larger parties, providing an economical way for everyone to enjoy the show together.
Regardless of which category you choose, purchasing your tickets in advance through official channels ensures you lock in the lowest possible price. Advanced ticket prices are typically lower than those sold at the gate on the day of the event, so planning ahead not only guarantees your entry but also saves you money.

How to Purchase Official Tickets
The only way to guarantee the authenticity of your Los Angeles County Air Show tickets is to purchase them directly from our official ticketing partner, Attendstar. You can buy tickets online through the link provided at the top of this page, or you may call the ticket office during normal business hours. On the day of the event, tickets may be purchased at the on-site box office, subject to availability and at a higher price.
When you purchase online, you will receive a confirmation email containing your tickets. You can either print them at home or display the QR code on your mobile device at the gate for scanning. It is important to keep your tickets secure and not to share the barcode publicly, as each barcode is unique and can only be scanned once for entry. If you have any questions about your order or need assistance with the purchasing process, please contact Attendstar directly through the support options provided on their website.
We strongly advise against buying tickets from any source other than Attendstar or the on-site box office. Third-party resale websites and individuals may offer tickets at seemingly attractive prices, but these tickets are often counterfeit, duplicated, or invalid. The Los Angeles County Air Show cannot honor, replace, or refund tickets that were not purchased through official channels. Protect yourself and your family by only using the official ticketing system.

Admission Policies and Entry Requirements
All guests, regardless of age, must have a valid ticket to enter the Los Angeles County Air Show. Children under a certain age (typically 2 years old and under) may be admitted free of charge when accompanied by a paying adult, but this policy is subject to change without notice. Please check the specific event page on Attendstar for the most current rules regarding child admission.
Upon arrival, all guests will pass through security screening. To expedite this process, we recommend traveling light and reviewing the list of prohibited items before you leave home. Common prohibited items include outside alcohol, weapons of any kind, drones, and large coolers. A complete list of allowed and prohibited items is available on the main event page. Re-entry is generally not permitted; once you exit the gates, you will need a new ticket to re-enter, unless you have a special wristband or pass provided by the event staff.
For the comfort and safety of all attendees, the Los Angeles County Air Show is a smoke-free environment, and pets (with the exception of certified service animals) are not allowed on the grounds. Please plan accordingly and make arrangements for your furry friends before coming to the show.
Day-of-Event Ticket Information
While we always encourage guests to purchase tickets in advance, we understand that sometimes plans change or you decide at the last minute to attend the show. Day-of-event tickets are sold at the on-site box office, which typically opens one hour before the gates open. However, please be aware that day-of ticket prices are higher than advanced ticket prices, and availability may be limited, especially for popular show days or premium categories that may sell out in advance.
To avoid disappointment, we highly recommend checking ticket availability online before traveling to the event. If advanced tickets are still available, you may be able to purchase them on your phone right up until the start of the show, often at a better price than the box office. Cash and major credit cards are accepted at the box office, but to speed up your entry, using a credit or debit card is recommended.
Keep in mind that the box office closes once the flying performances begin, so plan to arrive early if you intend to buy tickets on the day of the event. Parking lots can also fill up quickly, and traffic near the venue can be heavy, so build extra time into your schedule.

Additional Tips for a Smooth Experience
Attending an air show is an exciting experience, and a little preparation can make your day even more enjoyable. First and foremost, buy your tickets early. Advanced tickets not only save you money but also allow you to skip the box office line and head straight to the entrance gates. Arrive early to secure a good viewing spot, especially if you have general admission tickets; prime spots along the show line fill up fast.
Check the weather forecast and dress accordingly. Air shows are outdoor events, and the California sun can be intense. Bring sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses, and stay hydrated. While some beverages may be available for purchase, you are generally allowed to bring an empty reusable water bottle to fill at free water stations. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as the event site covers a large area.
Finally, remember that the Los Angeles County Air Show is a family-friendly event. Please be considerate of other guests, follow all posted signs and instructions from event staff, and have a fantastic time enjoying the thrill of flight!
