Good
Hi I am Surupa my 11year old son is very much interested to see specially the aero ( flying)show. On which day it is? Please let me know
You can access the viewing area on any of the days. The timings are specified in this blogpost. Register online and you can use the ticket on any of the days.
14th to 18th Feb 2017
Hi Piyush,
Nothing works on your website. Please test once before you post on public domain.
Thanks,
Everything seems to be working as expected. Let me know what issue you are really facing.
Hi,
What are the time slots of actual air show? I mean when jets are going to perform in the air?
They have mentioned that after buying ticket, we can go on any day after 14th till 18th. Do they perform everyday? If yes in what time slots?
Thanks
Air show timings usually 10-12 and 3-5. Timings same for all days from 15-18. On 14 due to VIP visit the morning show is reserved and general public is not allowed.
The show on all days will be the same for both time slots. People can watch both shows on any day they enter
Did anyone know the list of aircrafts that will participate in the flying display this year?
Hi can you let me know the timings of aero flying show(on 16th)of us flight fighters
Its still not clear if the tickets will be given at the Air Base itself or not?
No not really. Registering online is what seems to be preferred.
Paid 2500Rs. For ticket, how do i get the ticket.
Take the printout I believe.
Hi I am from bangalore. Since 96 in am regular to the airshow. But evertime I used to get tickets from axesbank but this time it’s not mentioned so please help me where I can get. I usually go on 2 day of the show on business tickets.so please gid me.
You can register and pay for the tickets online. No need to go to Axis bank.
Business ticket – https://www.aeroindia.in/BusinessVisitorLandingPage.aspx
Also, someone in comments asked about access to areas using a Business Tickets. Since you have attended the event before, can you respond please.
Hi.. I have couple of questions:
1) As a general public, is there any dress code?/ Is there any dress code for general public.?
2) I have already booked tickets for 2, i have kid who is 4 yrs old. can i take him too in the given days i.e 15/02/2017 to 18/02/2017. Which day would be better to watch to see the plane closely. ?
Please reply…
1. Dress Code: All persons attending the exhibition must wear business dress, lounge suit, national dress or service dress.
2. Children below 16 years will not be permitted on business days ( 14 -17 February 2017).
I think it is only true for business viewers. People who are having adva tickets should be able to carry children any day to adva area. Please confirm.
From the guidelines that clarity is unfortunately not available.
Hoping someone can update here over the next couple of days
I think it’s false statement below 16 years old kids are not allowing for Air show from 14th to 17. but I noticed that kids are allowed to the show these days right?
Dear Piyush, I want to see both the aero show and the exhibition. should I take both the tickets?
The exhibition ticket does not provide access to ADVA, so I am guessing yes but will let someone else confirm.
No, Take only exibition ticket, From there flight is accessible need not to adva
Thanks for confirming Aditya
Hi Piyush,
Is there any specific difference between air display viewing area(ADVA) and exhibition area except for the ticket price and timings?? Is it about access to some particular shows?
Exhibition area does not provide access to shows. I believe they have the latest fire power on display in the exhibition area. For viewing the show, ADVA is good enough.
Thanks for the reply Piyush.
I had another query. I have registered and booked 2 tickets under a single registration ID. Will there be any problem during the collection badges/tickets. During the registration I have booked tickets for 2 persons, so I should be issues 2 tickets right?
Yup. That should be fine.
can General Public buy the Business Visitor ticket?
Does not seem to restrict it in any way. Would be better to carry a business card though.
What is Business Visitor Exhibition Area?
Does every has to watch the show from ADVA or are there any other special seats also
ADVA is the common area for the general public. Not aware of any special seats.
Business Visitor pass gives you access to all areas excluding the Chalets. I am assuming there may be some special sections dedicated for business visitors.
Hi,
I wanted to book business visitor tickets worth 2500/-. Can anybody help withthe benefits of this ticket. Are these premium seats. As written, only open on 18th for general public.
Only you can talk on stall as business and see as business
I have couple of questions;
1. On Business days general public not allowed for entry i.e. b/w 14-17 Feb?
2. I am having son below 5 years can I carry meal/food item and water for him along with me as it is mentioned food items not allowed so how we will manage in the show from 09 to 05 PM. Will there be food & water stalls arrangement.
3. I heard that there will be no seating arrangements and you have to watch the whole show standing at the area, is this true?
1. Yes allowed to the ADVA.
2. Children below 16 years will not be permitted on business days ( 14 -17 February 2017)
3. Not sure.
Hi Piyush
Nowhere in the official site says childers below 16 are not permitted 14-17 Feb ?
Hey Krishna, that was mentioned in the guidelines document.
Hello
1.General public except children below 18 years will be allowed in static display chalets using business visitors tickets And no one can see air show from chalets.
2. Sitting arrangements are very less in Aero Show Area. So those who can’t stand for long hours need to take care.
3. All people need to carry valid government issued photo id proofs.
4. In business class you may get chance to see one or two latest fighter jet aircrafts. Not confirm that it will be allowed for visitors to see the cockpit too.
Plenty of food and water arrangements will be there. Show has to be watched standing. No seating arrangements
Few hundered chairs are provided..but its for very early birds..you can sit on the ground and watch..
So basically carry a blanket. 🙂
I have booked tickets and did not get the mail. I only got a message. Can you let me know the procedure to get confirmation mail?
I have had a similar issue. I booked my ticket last night (13-Feb). Got a text msg, but no confirmation mail.
Will I get the ticket if I wait for a day?
Would appreciate if you shared your experience.
Thanks,
AJ
Text message should be enough to collect the ticket:
Sure hope the same Piyush.
Would love to hear from a person with first hand experience of a case like mine — if text msg confirmation is enough
AJ
Someone messaged here that text message is enoughz
Text msg are enough. I collected my tickets from CCD. However, on Exhibition Area ticket it is mentioned that Access is for All AREA excluding CHALET and TARMAC AREA. Does it means it includes access to ADVA ?
is there an acrobatic airshow in this event, if so, when and what are the timings.
Yes but no specific timings available.
Hi Piyush,
I had booked tickets and did not get the mail. I only got a message. Can you let me know the procedure to get confirmation mail?
Will I get the ticket if I wait for a day?
Would appreciate if you shared your experience.
Thanks,
Kruthika
As per my understanding, the msg is enough
Hi piyush …. I want to take my son to air show he is 5 yrs old… which day I can take him along wit me …
Wt is the entry fee for aero students??
Does it mean if kid is 4 year old, we cannot watch the show?
wanted to confirm if general tickets for ADVA has access to both static display & air show or just the airshow. I understand there is separate charge for Exhibition entry. can you please clarify this.
As per my understanding, only air show.
I have never been to any Air show and I’m quite eager to visit Aero India2017 on Feb 18.
Can you please briefly describe the difference between ADVA and Visitor Exhibition area and which is better.
Great. ADVA is the area to view the Air Display while exhibition area will have companies and army showcasing the latest in defense technology.
Hi, how can i get tickets r pass
Register online using the link on the site.
Thank you for the post..much needed information for the fans as clarification is hard to come by even from the reporters.
Please share the list of planes/participants day wise..it will of great help
Clear itinerary is not available at this point unfortunately.
sir i have registered and i relieved only the bar code number hove can i get bar code
Hi Piyush,
Thanks for putting up all the details so far.
If I buy a ticket for “Visitors Exhibition Area”(1500/-), will I be able to see the air show? Or to see air show, it is must to buy ADVA ticket?
What actually is the difference between both? I am actually interested in watching the air show as well as some exhibition of our latest aircrafts.
Your suggestions are highly appreciated.
Based on my understanding you will need both. Unfortunately I am not sure if you can watch the air show from the exhibition area.
Hopefully someone who went in 2015 can confirm.
Hi,
Until last year, with exhibition ticket people were able to view the air show as well. It will mostly be the same for this year too.
Great. Thanks for confirming Divya.
Piyush, i want to take my wife and kid 2 years to the exhibition as well as the air display.
I guess we cannot take the kid till 17th right?
What is the cost? It is mentioned 2500 in auro india website and 1500 in you website. Could you please clairfy?
Based on their website it seems you cannot.
2500 is the cost for a business pass. For the exhibition, it’s still 1500.
What is the difference between a business pass and an exhibition pass? Both have the same entry and location where we can view?
Exhibition is only for the weekend to access the exhibition area where all the stall and weapons are on display
Hi piyush
I can not able to book online through debit card .Do we have some other mode like net banking or manual tickets. From where I will get tickets last time I got through banks.
Can i get tickets manually last day if so where
What is the exact location of the Air show? What does ADVA passes cover?
Yelahanka Air Force Station. Check on maps.
It covers access to the ADVA area only.
In ADVA type of ticket can we take a pic beside the aircraft or we have to take VEA type of ticket.
Hi Rajaneesh,
U can only see the aircrafts flying….Static display is in Exhibition area only. Plz buy exhibition tickets.
Hi, may I know if I buy exhibition ticket will be able view the air show like how people can see in ADVA. Or should i but two passes one for exhibition and one for ADVA. I am
Confused.
Sorry but I do not have that clarity available. Hoping someone who attended the show last year can confirm.
I have reached out to some people available with the event for more information. Hopefully I will get a response.
Hi my son is 3 years am I allowed to take him for the show. If yes then I need to attend it the one on 18 Feb right ??
That seems to be the case.
I think you can take your kid, its mentioned on the site that no registeration required below 5. so it mean kids are allowed on all days.
Hoping someone who goes on 14th can confirm for sure. Tried calling some folks associated with the event but it was useless.
Hi.. I’m coming to air show on Tuesday if they allowed..! and That day aircraft’s ‘ll be fly..? We could watch…
Once we get the ID where can i get the tickets?
at the venue.
I have registered and only got a registration number .. So shall I need to collect the tickets at the airforce station?
Based on what other folks mentioned here that seems to be the case.
i have booked tickets but till now i didn’t received confirmation mail. my mobile has been restored i lost registration number the message sent by the authority now how can i get the that No.
i have booked tickets but till now i didn’t received confirmation mail. my mobile has been restored i lost registration number the message sent by the authority now how can i get the that No. Help me.
Nearby colleges are given holiday?? Because of airshow?
Sir Plz help me.2year old boby alowed. and one more question we r accepting all bank card .or onley axisbank card reply me sir……
It will damage their eardrum because of flight noise….that’s why they are restricting small kids n they require foods frequently which may attract birds which is hazardous for flight
Sir we r accepting all bank card or onley asxisbank card .
One more question?2year old boby allowed are not tell me sir
All Banks. There is mixed information available regarding taking kids to the show, hopefully we have some clarity from others.
I am really happy that Aero-India 2017 has become fully digital. As they will have acess to complete information of vistors who are genuine. Anti-Socials & Anti-Nationals must be filtered from these International events. Also online Payment has really helped me this time as Last time I had to struggle to go & buy tickets as a doctor with out any helping hand I had hellish time on earth with hellish vehicular traffic in 2015.
Hope this time Every thing will go very smoothly for the Air Display team first & foremost, then with the Organizers & Lastly the Visitors. I was saddened by Mishap of our Helicopter team with Women Pilots also.Wish & pray evrything goes Smoothly & to the Perfection which we have seen with Indian Airforce at Jalahalli, Bengaluru.
Sir, one doubt, what are chalets?
Hi Piyush ,
I u/std that kids are allowed on 18 feb only . My son is 7 years and he doesnt have any documents like passport, aadhar card or voter id . Obly available is school id card with photo .how should i book his tkts ? is there any physical outlets to collect tkts ( heard few coffee days are authorised )..can i book his tkts under my id card ? kindly help .
I have a child of 3 years old, can i take her and if yes, can i produce birth certificate as proof as we dont have other proof for her
Hi, I am trying to book a ADVA ticket,
1.On the registration form there is no date available when I can go and watch the show, it means i can do register and go whenever I am free between 14th afternoon to 18th ? or after registration they will give me the date ?
You can go on any of the days.
I love airshow
Hi, I just booked under General visitor. I have got a Unique registration number on my mobile after booking tickets. Is that enough to get tickets? I see somewhere a print out is necessary.?? Pl guide.
Regards
Is it mandatory to register online to get the business visitors pass or can we get the tickets at the venue paying money at the venue just like in 2015.
Regards
Chandrashekhar
Question is very basic one, I have booked Exhibition ticket of 1500 Rs. Does it allow airshow viewing also or just exhibition?
Some folks confirmed you are able to see the aero show from that area here in comments
Is it mandatory that the person who had registered can only go to the event, if the person is not coming, I can take other person.
Should I need to carry photocopy of the registered ID to avail the tickets at the venue. And I can go to Aero show on any of the days 14-18th.
That’s difficult to say as this is the first for online registration. Since there is an involvement of defense, they may stick to actual registerations. Best way to find will be via someone who goes over the next 2days.
Is there a a program schedule? I want to know on what dates and times will the air show (like of Surya Kiran) will take place. Would be glad to have those details.
If I take the passes for “Exhibition only area” for 18th Feb. Can i also access ADVA area or do i have to take separate passes worth Rs.600 for accessing that area?
No need to take ADVA. Exhitbition area is much closer to the air display than ADVA. And you can see the exhinition too. ADVA is far off and it is better to stay at home.
How much is cost for 1 person..
Sir plz help me i just registered for 2 general visitors passes and my transaction was completed bt when the server frm axis Bank came back to aeroindia webpage the conclusion was it said transaction failed bt my bank said the transaction was successful…does it take time shud i wait or wt?

Sir plz help me my transaction was successful according to bank web page bt it was not successful according to aeroindia ! N i didn’t get the id number also will it come later or shud i complain about that!
Try checking with the bank. If the transaction was not successful according to aeroindia site but deducted from your account, the transaction should get refunded in the next 2-3days.
Sir thank u fr the reply my trancation was successfull according to the bank bt aero idia it was a failed trancation.oki jst let me knw can i jst walk in to ccd and buy tickets?
Tickets are available in some specific CCDs. Check the post for details.
Hi,
I see the Rs.600 ticket is for the Air Display Viewing Area, which is for viewing the aero show, the Rs.1500 ticket seems to be for the Visitors Exhibition Area. Can someone tell me, if this would include the viewing of the Aero show (ADVA), or is it just the Exhibition Center?
As per the information available the 1500 ticket will not give access to ADVA but some folks have mentioned that you can see the aero show from the exhibition area as well.
No need to take ADVA. Exhitbition area is much closer to the air display than ADVA. And you can see the exhinition too. ADVA is far off and it is better to stay at home.
My son is 3 years old can I get my son for the show
Hi Piyush, Or anyone who have an answer to my question,
Would like to understand what is the difference between the Rs600 and the Rs.1500 tickets (apart from the later being on Weekend).
2.With the Rs600 ticket, are the exhibits seen from a closest distance ?
3.Im also taking my daughter who is 3 yrs old.Are there any arrangements for basic facilities like water,light snack etc at the venue?
4. Considering the weekend crowd, how much time would you suggest to reach in advance at the main gate, to be in time for the show (preferably Morn as the crowd may be low)
Hi Anand,
600 rs Ticket is for just seeing the aircraft flying , 1500 is for viewing the exhibition area and static aircraft display.Both have different entry gates. Yes they will have stalls for food and water so do not worry about that.
No need to take ADVA. Exhitbition area is much closer to the air display than ADVA. And you can see the exhinition too. ADVA is far off and it is better to stay at home than ADVA. Go for 1500 ticket.
Hi, Is there any dresscode on saturday?
Which place is suitable to watch?
Is dress code is compulsory?
As per guidelines:
Dress Code: All persons attending the exhibition must wear business dress, lounge suit, national dress or service dress.

Don’t think you can cancel the tickets.
Hi,

Ashwin

I have few query on Aero India Shows 2017 ADVA…
1. Is Food available at venue for ADVA visitors, as on website it is written that food is not allowed.
2. Is parking facility is available for ADVA Visitors. If yes, what are the charges.
3. what are the show timings.

Please advise.
Dear Piyush Agarwal,
We are Anne & Luuk from the Netherlands and we want to visit the exibition as wel as the flight show on Saturday. Is it allowed for foreigners to visit Aero India or are there special restrictions? Hope to hear from you soon,
Anne & Luuk
Hello Anne & Luuk,
Welcome to India. I believe as long as you have your passport, you can visit the event. A lot of foreign delegates do visit the event based on my knowledge. Also, none of the rules clearly state otherwise.
Best of luck with your trip.
Regards,
Piyush Agarwal
What is the difference between 1500 and 2500 tickets
1500 is for exhibition area. Only valid over the weekend. 2500 is for business visitors, a different section.
Hi piyush,
I have booked 2 tickets for me and my brother and got pass also with printed names..but now my brother is not well to come for the show so can it be given to some of my friends??? Plz confirm..
Don’t think so as they would match the details with if proof.
I want to buy VVIP tickets where can I buy them from and what would be the cost of it
Business class tickets are the only ones you can buy.
I hav registered online.
Do i need to go to cafe coffee day and collect passes or collect it at the airbase itself on the show day?
Collect from gate 1 at the airshow
Hi Piyush,
My daughter is 5 years old. Do I need to buy ticket for her?

2. Limited to chips and cold drinks. They need to avoid littering and birds.
3. Not sure what you mean. They have 3 slots every day for the show. Diff to say if 1hour is enough.
4. Yup

I have a registered through online in Aero India website and got unique Id no generted. Only Id no with original proof is enough or I have to collect tickets in some CCD and go. Please let me know.
Should be enough.
Do I need to take ticket for my 5 and half year old son?
Is parking available?
Yes and yes.
I purchased ticket on line and received SMS with Unique Registration ID and payment made on line with debit card.
Did not receive barcode.
I took a print of the SMS with the Unique Registration ID.
Was able to get the pass at the counter in Gate 1.
However, would like to comment on the way the show is conducted.
There is no counter to help visitors get the informatipn.
Only the security personnels in every nook and corner.
Found it very difficult to manage to see the show.
The business class of people receive special attention.
Two telephone numbers were provided for the public, tried contacting
but no one answering the phones.
Will be writing to Director aeroshow about these problems.
No food available in the show. Only soft drinks and chips.
Thanks for providing this information. Quite disappointing on how things are being handled specially food and enquiry.
what are the parking charges for ADVA Visitors. Can anybody confirm.
Piyush, Thanks for your great work.
My son aged 3 Years, i want to know how safe it is for the Kids of that age as intensity of sound will be huge.
Will it be worth watching Air show from out side at a safe distance
Personally I would recommend watching from a safe distance as the high decibel sound of the jets can be hurtful for young kids.
I have taken 2 business visitor tickets from CCD, how that is different from Rs.600 ticket
Mr.Piyush,
Pls let me know
Different section from general. Think of it as VIP section.
Sir,i have brought 2 tickets adva access only frm a near by ccd. And wt gate shud i enter frm?wat could be the parking charges and will i get food inside?
Gate 1 I think. There is some basic food available but you cannot carry food anyway.
Is the parking allowed near the venue
Hi Piyush,
I have booked ticket my money got debited from my account but due to some techniqul issue on the AERO INDIA website I did not get any code or any ticket on website what I need to do please help me.
What I need to do now how will I get the tickets and how will I be authorized to see the air show. guide me please
Like most online transactions if the money was deducted but the transaction failed, you should get a refund in 3 days. That’s my understanding but there is no way to confirm the same.
Hi Piyush,
I have not got any refund. what I need to do not. how can I conform if my ticket is conformend

Hi, I have booked tickets and have the I’d number. Can I enter the ADVA venue by showing my ID number and my ID proof.
Kindly anybody reply me pls. I am going to the show on16.02.2017, so pls anybody help me with information. My email id is [email protected] or msg me to my number 09845093688.
Are cameras allowed to aeroindia?
Yup. Allowed
Hello am planning on Saturday with kids, I have some clarifications
1. Is there a batches for show btween 10 to 5
2. Can I enter after 2 pm or do we have to stay for morning to evening, I have a school till 1 pm, can I enter after that
Hi Piyush,
added a child whoz less than 5 yr old in the ticket .How to get refund?
or Can i bring one adult to compensate that ticket cost?
Hello, they cancelled the show on Feb 14. I could not use tickets and I can not go any other day. Have they created a process to ask for refund, as they have cancelled the show on Feb 14. I saw atleast 200 people asking for refund on venue on that day. Pathetic management.
Unfortunately, Don’t think they have any refund process established. Since it’s an open ticket they would just ask people to come on other days. Not ideal but that’s my guess
The payment gateway isn’t working today.
Not able to get the tickets.
Anyone else also facing this problem ?
Today at Whitefield CCD… no ticket issuer is available. Why? What is the alternative now? Which other location should we run to?
We are 4 members. Suppose I just pay for the entry tickets online, and take the printouts. Will they be considered VALID with ID proof ? Will we be allowed through the entry gate?
Can any one share experience using their exhibition entrance ticket .. will we be allowed to see the airbirds close? to see the airshow, should we go to ADVA only? if so, are we allowed?
If I register online and pay, Do I still need to go to CCD to collect the ticket or its enough to go the aero show directly with the Unique ID?
Piyush Job JOb , Nice info. Hope you are settled so soon in life,so social service so soon.
Thank you sir. As long as it’s helpful for people, I am happy.
Hi piyush
My daughter is 5 yrs 6months.is she eligible for free entry????
Hi
I’ve booked 3 tickets online as General Visitor for ADVA (3 x Rs.600)
Aero India website says, we can visit any one day and we can collect the pass at the venue itself by producing Reg. ID and Photo Identity Proof
But its sad that NOWHERE in the entire website it gives the timings of actual aerobatics air show by planes & helicopters ( I mean, start time and duration of air shows where planes will make actual flying and acrobatics)
Iam planning to visit Aero India on Saturday, 18th Feb. Could you please help by sharing the actual start time and approx. duration of air show
Thanks
Srihari
Based on previous years and info shared by some people you can expect 2 shows – 10am and 2pm
Hi Piyush
Thanks a lot and appreciate your initiative to help so many 🙂
Srihari
thank you for your kind words Srihari.
HI Piyush,
I have booked for Visitors Exhibition Area ticket. Should i need to book seperate ticket for ADVA also.. Or can i use exhibition ticket to see the Airshow. Please help
Some people confirmed that you can see the show from exhibition area as well.
Can you please help me out with these two questions:
1) Can one buy the tickets at the venue? and if yes which gate number one should go?
2) Are there different tickets for foreigners?
1. Someone mentioned that you can buy at Gate 1. But I would rather have someone who went today confirm if the same is happening.
2. Not as per my knowledge.
HiPiyush, just wanted to check if cameras are allowed?? Any idea?
Yes. cameras are allowed.
Can we reach there by car? How are the parking arrangements?
you can reach by car. Parking should be available.
Ok. I’ve been going to the airshow for 10 years now. It is jaw-dropping amazing. Don’t miss it.
Some pointers:
1) Which ticket to take? There are two areas.
a)) Exhibition area. Here you can see the airshow AND also the exhibition. The exhibition when I used to go was not worth it and only of interest if you’re interested in military components. One or two aircrafts parked and cordoned off (like in cubbon park) and mostly industrial aircraft components etc displayed – the audience is business/military buyers not general public. This area is extremely crowded and I remember no place to even stand while watching the air show.
b) ADVA is the area from where we can see just the airshow. It is adjacent to exhibition and separated by a fence. I prefer this area because it has wide open space and less crowd. Very relaxed. The runway is equally close so the airshow will be the same. (though from exhibition area the aircrafts will be PARKED closer if it matters to you)
2) Show times:
There is a morning show. 9 to 12 or something like that. And a repeat of the exact show in the afternoon
3) When to go:
Target to be there by 7:30am if you don’t want to risk missing a minute. Expect heavy traffic so keep an hour buffer. When you reach, there could be long lines to exchange your printout for a pass (need original ID they say). If you arrive early no problem..you can stroll around.
4) What to bring
– Expect heat: Make sure you bring hats, broad-brims being better. Get sunglasses if you’re averse to glare. Get large umbrellas if you can. Water you can buy…i’m not sure if allowed in.
– Expect dust: Imagine some 3 lakh people walking on dirt grounds. There is dust in the air.
– Expect no chairs: Get something to spread on the ground and sit. We take camp chairs and large umbrellas and a sleeping bag to spread on the ground. It becomes a nice picnic area. If nothing take something to spread on the ground. You don’t want to be standing all day craning your necks. The ground is all dust though you may not have a choice if you don’t bring anything.
– Expect places to buy food: There were a lot of stalls – from pizzas to snacks to proper indian fare. A little set back from the viewing area. No place to sit and eat. Buy and eat there standing or walk out back to see the show.
– Expect some form of restrooms. Don’t expect toilet tissues. Bring them.
– Binoculars are useful. So are SLR cameras. Phones are fine otherwise. Bring a powerbank if you want.
4) What to expect in the show
– Fighter jets: Gripen, Sukhoi, F-16, Rafale, Tejas. Maybe more. They are just STUNNING! The speeds. The roars. The power. The maneuvers and barrel rolls and dives and strikes are indescribable. This is of the see-it-to-believe-it variety.
– Aerobatic teams: (a) Suryakiran team from IAF, this time in a 6-aircraft formation. They are usually crowd favorites (b) A Brit team in 4 russian aircrafts. New this year. I saw them practicing – slightly unusual looking planes (c) A scandinavian team. They are really cool with wingwalkers! – girls coming out of the aircraft and standing outside as the aircrafts flyby. (d) Sarang – an IAF helicopter formation team with 4-copters. They do a lot of tricky things for helicopters…but well helicopters are not so nimble as the planes….and sometimes it reminds me of watching a group of hippos trying to dance just after you’ve watched nimble sealions and dolphins dazzle. 🙂
– A few other aircrafts. Particularly cool is the American Hercules cargo plane. It is a massive giant…looks lumbering and clumsy…till you watch it take off!!! It takes off in what looks like within 20 feet. Will leave you surprised how on earth it left the ground.
Enjoy!
This is extremely helpful Ravi. Thank you for sharing the details.
Hi Mr. Piyush, I have a Business Invite. can you please tell the difference between a business visitor and business invitee I don’t know where all its used to get access . can you please brief me as i’m going to visit on 18th Feburary. Thank you
Honestly, this information is not available with me. I would like to believe that you will get the same access/priveledges as a Business visitor.

Shrini
To wer the tickets are available
Wer tickets are available and is it a venue itself?
Just now booked the ticket online, it gave unique id on page and as sms also, now tomorrow i can show this and collect the ticket at the venue also, or i have to goto some CCD listed here?
Just show your message and an ID proof at the venue.
Thank you Piyush
Just visited Aeroshow on thursday.
No much traffic. If you are going by car, we will be entering the airbase from backside and Bangalore traffic police are thr all the way to help.
Parking is inside airbase, so you can walk to venu within in 5 mnts.
In ticket counter they are asking for mobile message, printouts are not accepted. Lot of volunteers in ticket counter and it wont take much time to get your tickets.
Foods are not allowed inside, they will empty all foods before entering the venue. But there is a Big Food court inside the air base and you will get all type of food thr(from veg to non-veg to fast food) lot of juice and tender coconut counters are also thr. Food court is so huge that even if entire crowd comes to the place at once it can accommodate all of them. So no need to carry foods to the venue. they accept both cards and cash in almost all counters.
Its well organized in all aspects
Thank you for sharing this.
Ansar – lot of people are asking if they can buy tickets at the venue. any idea?
No you can’t pay and buy ticket in venue.
You should buy online and messsge should be shown
No tickets are not available for sale in venu.
You have to buy online and show the message to get tickets from venue

Money debited from my account,but registration id not received.What to do?
Many thanks Piyush & all others for sharing the useful posts of 2015 & the current on-going 2017.
My experience with the 1500/- TICKET
GateNo.1 –you can get the entry if you have already(From CCD)taken your ACTUAL ENTRY CARD(which is a plastic card like our Debit/Credit Card)–this you can also get from Gate 5.(which is about 2km walk from the Gate No.1–you have to cross the other side of the highway),stand in a long Q (if planned better–one can park their car there and then stand in the Q),this Q is where they verify your ID Card(please ensure you carry it–they are very strict about it) & check you BARCODE print out or the SMS with the number before issuing you the ENTRY CARD.
Also, i saw many BUYING the ticket LIVE there too(they have the card machine) by showing their ID proof.
I saw FOREIGNERS too showing their passport & buying the ENTRY CARD.So it not ONLY WEBSITE bookings,but LIVE also possible.
They arrange a small shuttle bus (they again match your ID card & ENTRY CARD before u board the bus)which drops you to a point from where you need to walk (about 1km)–the bus cuts through the Airforce people Quarters/Residential area & then you walk through a tunnel too (basically it just goes below the highway).
Once you enter you have a one more check point (separate for ladies & gents),finally you arrive at the HUGE halls which is the EXHIBITION area.
Beyond that is the ABSOLUTE pleasure to watch the AEROSHOW (10am & 2pm shows),thousands just stand(and sit on the floors/road) open to the sky/sun & watch the show (please don’t worry about ADVA 600/- vs EXHIBTION 1500/-)….Just buy the 1500/- it serves the purpose.
Plenty of food & drinks counter.
The MOVENPICK & JW MARRIOT Buffet(only,no AlaCarte) is 1350 per head.Please note–A2B(South Indian food-Thali),Burger Big,CCD,CocaCola are the other cheaper/reasonable options.
Cleanly managed washrooms too.
Good AERO centric merchandise & gifts one can buy.
don’t bother about the dress code–T SHIRT/SHORTS/JEANS–all possible clothes allowed for today for sure.
This might help for 2019(unless they change some process again !)–as by now its over for this year 🙂
thanks for sharing… Yes, it’s over for this year! 🙂
On 18 th February 2017, we had been to Aero Show at ADVA.
There was no seperate Q for Senior citizens to buy entry ticket.
Entry ticket cost was Rs.600/- per head.No concession to Senior Citizens.
No sitting arrangement.We saw some spectators have brought carpet, mat with them to sit on ground and view the show.
The Aero Show authorities were not concerned about general Senior Citizens. Sitting arrangements were available to dignitaries.
Is aero show free for defence personal??
That usually is the case but I do not have the information available to be sure. Hopefully someone else here can confirm
i have done a small spelling mistake while entering my name for airshow,will it effect me from entering into airshow?
If it’s small, you maybe able to convince the people with the govt id.
Are cameras allowed in airshow
Not as per tickets and some visitors
Based on my conversations with some attendees, cameras are allowed. Do share your experience of the Aero show.
