Flypasts, just to manage expectations. Cool all the same, and nice to have something a bit bigger in the air too :)
And quite rare to boot, it's been a few years since we last had a C-130 at an airshow in Norway, and I doubt we'll have one this year - so good on Sanicole for making that happen
The Norwegian air force have sent a few remarkable flypasts in the past already with Falcon 20ECM and F-16s, greatly appreciated that they make the effort!

I’ve been to Sanicole before but have never done the ‘Friends of Sanicole’ package. I don’t recall seeing the grandstand but from the pictures it looks fairly flat. Has any one done it? What’s it like? Is the seating reserved?
2025 shows: Cosford, RIAT, Sanicole with a couple of Duxford, Shuttleworth and seaside shows thrown into the mix.

Because we want to inform you as well as possible about the different types of tickets that are available and the prices, we want to give you a first preview of this today.

This way you have the time to look at all the possibilities and be completely prepared against thunder

What Hammerhead is referring to is a pre-sale for those who have previously bought hospitality (VIP, Business, FoS) - not necessarily 'Insiders'

Thanks for the information on the grandstand.

If the tickets are sold out before the sale opens, then it defeats the point of writing to people today to tell them they go on sale tomorrow. All very confusing. But doesn’t look like it’s worth it anyhow.

There is no need for confusion.
There was a presale for visitors who had bought special formulas in past years (Friends of Sanicole, Business, VIP). This is a common practice to thank past customers. Obviously, they enjoyed their experience because the sale was very successful.

There will be an extra batch of Friends of Sanicole tickets for Sunday sold on Thursday 12 June starting 10AM (Belgian time) to offer new customers a chance. Beware that this will be the final batch of Sunday Friends of Sanicole tickets! There are still tickets available for Friends of Sanicole for the sunset show on Saturday. Friends of Sanicole offers a seat on the grandstand, separate toilets and access to an open bar within the enclosure, plus a parking space closer to the entrance (I have to walk further than FoS :) ), in addition to the possibilities open to regular visitors.

Business tickets for Sunday however are indeed fully sold out, there will be no extra tickets available.

Also, remember that the regular tickets at the highest discount that will be available to insiders starting 10AM on 12 June are also limited in number.

Anyone else got tickets yet?

I've been thrown out the system twice and two other times it's been so slow that the time limit for purchase has timed out before I've got to the checkout. Fun and games so far, also the car park ticket button isn't working on the english site.

Feel your guys pain, I had the same issues with booking Radom. Don't think the site's are capable sometimes of such an influx of people

I live in Brazil. It's 5 hours earlier here than in Belgium. I woke up 15 minutes before 5 AM and I still haven't managed it.

I got in and proceeded all the way to the payment stage, only to find out they only accept Belgian/Dutch bank systems. No way to pay with debit or credit card.

I've tried too many times to count never got to payment, go to just before twice but the timeout (12 minutes or something had over ran and kicked me out )

shame I am sure the support guys are doing all they can but it is frustrating

But must be over an hour since all I've been able to get is the splash screen - hopefully it will be back and imporved at some point.

It appears the web squirrels have been given a kick and the ticket handler site is working fine now.
