ticket information

advance ticket sales

It is important that you review the site admission regulations to ensure that your entry into the Air Races is as expeditious as possible. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in your admission to the event being delayed, refused, or revoked.

You can make advance purchases for most classes of tickets for the 2009 National Championship Air Races and Air Show directly from this Web site by using your Mastercard or Visa.

"will call"

If you place your ticket order after the mailing cut-off date [31 August 2009 for US and Canada and 15 August 2009 for all other orders] but prior to the closing date for orders from the Reno Air Racing Association office [15 August 2009], your tickets will be held at the "WILL CALL" window, at the location labeled "T3" on the site map].

If your tickets are being held at "WILL CALL", to retrieve them you must have a photo ID [such as a drivers license or passport] matching the name on the ticket order, or the same credit card used to pay for the tickets.

when are tickets mailed?

Tickets are mailed beginning in mid-summer, and all tickets ordered in advance are mailed by the end of the first week in September. Even if you purchase your tickets directly from the Reno Air Racing Association early in the year, you will not receive your tickets until sometime between June and September.

Daily pit passes may be purchased near the Pit Gate located adjacent to the west end of the Reserved Seat Grandstand.
