Gold Pass Tickets - more info

The Gold Pass provides you with access to an exclusive enclosure and privileges to make your time at Classic Fighters Omaka Airshow even more enjoyable.
Chief among the benefits of the Gold Pass is grandstand seating, so you have the best view of all the action. If mobility is a concern and you are unable to access the stairs, there is a large area in front of the grandstand at ground level. This is available to any Gold Pass holder who prefers to be as close as possible to the display line.

On arrival via Aerodrome Road, you will be directed to reserved car parking. Your e-ticket will be exchanged for a Gold Pass lanyard at the entrance and staff will direct you to the Gold Pass marquee.
Once there you will be offered a gift pack of valuable items, including the official programme and entry to the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre (valid for 12 months).

3 Day Gold Passes are available for NZ$375 gate price, $350 online.
Children's 3 Day Gold Passes are available for NZ$175 at the gate or NZ$162 online.
1 Day Gold Passes are available for $175 online. Numbers are limited so there is no guarantee they will be available on the day.
Children under 5 have free admission with a paying adult but must not occupy a seat. Anyone occupying a
grandstand seat must have a Goldpass.
