Warbirds Over Wanaka 2016 – Tickets on Sale

Warbirds Over Wanaka, one of the great international air shows, set against some of the most dramatic landscape in the world, should be on every aviation enthusiast’s bucket list of events to attend. Held every two years, the organizers are already fully involved with their preparations for the 2016 display, and tickets are set to go on sale with special options and rates for early purchasers as seen in the press release below.

PRESS RELEASE – Wanaka, NZ – A new luxury one day ticket plus a price freeze on pre-purchased General Admission tickets are two features of the ticket offerings for the 2016 Warbirds Over Wanaka International Airshow. Tickets for the world-renowned event go on sale next week (Monday, February 16th) via the WOW website www.warbirdsoverwanaka.co.nz or through TicketDirect www.ticketdirect.co.nz

“We are very pleased to be able to announce that the price of pre-purchased General Admission tickets will remain unchanged in 2016. This includes the three-day GA pass and Family GA pass,” said WOW General Manager, Ed Taylor. “Unfortunately we have been unable to hold all prices, and there have been some slight increases in other tickets including Gate Sales. So the message to people who want to come to the air show is to pre-book their tickets to ensure they get the best price. We are also very excited about our new ticket offering, the Titanium Pass. For a while now we have had people enquiring about having a luxury ticket but just for one day, rather than the three day Gold Pass,” said Mr Taylor.

The Titanium Pass is available for the Saturday and/or the Sunday. These tickets will be limited to 100 per day. Ticket holders will have their own enclosure in the middle of the action with full catering all day and a number of other exclusive offerings. Mr Taylor said they were expecting the usual rush from Warbirds Over Wanaka enthusiasts to be the first to buy their airshow tickets when they go on sale next week. “Despite the fact that the event is still just over a year away we always get a rush in the first month of ticket sales. There are those people who just have to get their tickets straight away.”

This reflects on the high standing with which Warbirds Over Wanaka International Airshow is held in aviation circles, said Mr Taylor. The Warbirds Over Wanaka International Airshow is being held at Wanaka Airport on March 25th, 26th and 27th next year with the popular Rides Day on March 28th.
