Tickets for Thunder Over Michigan Air Show

Last year ticket pricing was per vehicle. This year, they have several ticket options:

Drive-Up Tailgate Parking – $185-245 (includes admission for those in vehicle)
Bomber Club – Sold Out
Fighter Club – $185/ages 16+, $95/ages 5-15 – includes tent access, catered lunch, non-alcoholic beverages & beer, and more
Officers Club – Sold Out

Note: prices may go up as they sell out. Prices were added on 6/12.

Tips for Thunder Over Michigan Air Show

1 – Purchase your tickets early. Tickets can sell out and prices will go up as it gets closer

2 – Bring Chairs. If you have Drive-Up Tailgate Tickets, you will probably want chairs. This way you can watch the show from outside instead of in your car.

3 – Food is available for purchase from food trucks. You can bring food and non-alcoholic beverages to stay in the blue and white zones, but not on the ramps. Officers Club tickets include food.

4 – Sun protection. If it is a sunny day, be sure to come prepared with sunscreen and water. Large umbrellas are not allowed. Portable awnings and tents are also not allowed.

5 – Make time to visit the KidZone – There will be activities for the kids (may have an extra fee)

6 – Portable restrooms and sanitation stations will be available near the static displays.
