Exclusive Bandstand viewing seats for the world’s biggest seafront airshow are selling out fast with visitors keen to make the most of the best, unrestricted views of the dynamic flying displays over Eastbourne seafront.Tickets went on sale last month offering visitors the chance to book a seat for the day around the town’s historic Bandstand with exclusive views of Airbourne airshow. At just £10 per person when combined with Airbourne entry, the tickets present excellent value for money at the forefront of all the flying action as the Red Arrows, Guinot Wingwalkers, Blades aerobatic team, Spitfire and RAF Typhoon, Hawk, Tutor and Tucano get set to zoom through Eastbourne skies this August.

Eastbourne Borough Council Spokesperson for Tourism, Cllr Steve Wallis said “The Bandstand exclusive viewing seats are proving extremely popular this year with visitors eager to make the most of the uninterrupted views of the Airbourne flying displays all from the beautiful setting of the Bandstand’s upper balcony. There are some top displays coming up at Airbourne this year and knowing you have your own seat to enjoy the airshow makes the event a top day out this summer, with visitors making group bookings for friends and family.”

Sales are very high for the weekend package tickets of Airbourne entry plus exclusive viewing seat and airshow organisers, Eastbourne Borough Council, are considering releasing more seats to fulfil the growing demand from weekend visitors.

On sale through VisitEastbourne.com’s E-shop, the combined ticket at just £10 per person per day offers a top saving and was the number one online seller for June. With Airbourne entry tickets also available online at just £5, or £2.50 with the Herald and Gazette Buy One Get One Free vouchers, online orders have hit an all time high.

For those that have yet to reserve their space on Eastbourne seafront, or their exclusive seat at the Bandstand, tickets are still available online through VisitEastbourne.com, over the counter at Eastbourne Tourist Information Centre or from Eastbourne Box Office on 01323 412000.

The Aviator Club is also new for 2008 and offers arena-side hospitality on the Western Lawns, making an extra special treat for a birthday or special occasion. The airshow also makes a fabulous setting to entertain business clients and prices start from just £50 for a three-course summer lunch and champagne welcome on the front row of the arena action.

With sales increasing every day as the airshow approaches, Airbourne organisers are set for a busy month in the lead up to the event as flying schedules are finalised and the new souvenir programme goes on sale.
