"Get VIP Tickets and Experience the Air Show
in an Extraordinary Way!"

We will be selling a limited number of tickets to our very exclusive VIP Guest Enclosure. It's the best place in Toronto to watch the air show.

The VIP Guest Enclosure is the place to be Air Show weekend!


The VIP Guest Enclosure
Both types of VIP tickets get you access to the CIAS VIP Guest Enclosure. Admission to the Canadian National Exhibition is INCLUDED in your VIP ticket price. Our VIP Guest Enclosure is set-up on the east side of Marilyn Bell Park, right on the water. You have a direct line-of-sight to the phenomenal feats of aviation going on over Lake Ontario. It's the area where you are most likely to find the pilots signing autographs after their performances. 

 
CIAS Air Show Displays and Vendors
Various performers are bringing their menagerie of show trailers and cool displays to the VIP Guest Enclosure. These trailers are set-up so that our VIP guests can speak to and get autographs from various performers and crew members.

Food & Concessions
There will be dedicated food concessions and additional vendors and exhibitors all within the VIP Guest Enclosure.

Kids
Babes-in-Arms (2 years of age and younger) are granted FREE admission when accompanied by a parent/guardian to the VIP Enclosure.  At this time due to the limited number of seats, no further discount is available for children.

Wheelchair Accessibility
The CIAS VIP Guest Enclosure is wheelchair accessible and also includes accessible washroom facilities.

Weather
We love Mother Nature - she's been very kind to us over the past few years, bringing perfect air show weather to Toronto. (However, she's been known to have a tantrum or two.) You should know that all performers have high, low and flat shows that can accomodate for different kinds of weather.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer ticket refunds. Rest assured, though, that the CIAS is a rain-or-shine event. If the performers aren't pulling Gs and twisting through the air, they'll be in the VIP Flight Deck sharing a drink and stories of aerobatic awesomeness with you.

Please don’t rely on the weather forecast to help you make up your mind. In our experience “the forecast is usually wrong” for both good weather and bad.

Getting to the VIP Enclosure & Parking (Important!)
Arrive EARLY! (You'll be too excited to sleep anyway - it's air show day.) We have zero control over traffic conditions, plus it's a holiday weekend. Again we strongly suggest you arrive early. Here are some parking suggestions . . . Parking is available at several locations close to the CNE Grounds. Marilyn Bell Parking Lot is adjacent to the CIAS VIP Guest Enclosure and parking is available there for a nominal fee.  Lot J on the CNE Grounds is also close by.  Parking spaces are not guaranteed and we advise you to arrive very early, as the show is extremely popular and both parking and traffic become an issue when the planes are in the sky.

Two Ticket Options
In 2010, we've created two VIP ticket options for you . . .

Option #1: The "CIAS VIP Flight Deck" Presented
by Air Combat Zone
With the CIAS VIP Flight Deck presented by Air Combat Zone , you get the same experience and treatment as our corporate sponsors, military VIPs, and dignitaries, all in a dedicated waterfront chalet. The VIP Flight Deck is right on the water's edge.

Catered Food & Drinks on the Flight Deck
Included in your VIP Flight Deck ticket price is catered food and an open wine and beer bar from 12:30 PM until 4:30 PM each day. You'll be well fed and hydrated to enjoy the show. In addition, each CIAS Flight Deck ticket holder gets a copy of the award winning, internationally-recognized, Airspeed Magazine. Our show programme is once again jam-packed with incredible photography and great stories. 

At the CIAS Flight Deck you will be hosted by Air Combat Zone staff, enjoy chances to win awesome CIAS SWAG and perhaps be visited by some CIAS performers and crew.

New for 2010
As a result of your feedback we've moved the Preferred Seating section to a new and better location, which we know you'll be thrilled about.

We have cordoned-off the first few rows of seating. Currently there are a limited number of reserve seats available each day within the first three rows. You have access to food and drink that you are welcome to purchase from our great on-site vendor.

The tickets for sale are not assigned to a specific seat, but Preferred Seat ticket holders will be seated in the reserved area.

Online Ticket Sales
All VIP ticket sales are online ONLY. You cannot buy VIP tickets anywhere else. Our very secure online ordering system allows you to purchase and print tickets from the comfort of your home or office. 

Last year we had technical difficulties with online sales. Numerous changes have been put into place to ensure your ticket purchase goes as smoothly as possible.

Each ticket contains a unique bar code that gets scanned at the gate of the VIP Guest Enclosure.  That's right, no waiting in lines for VIP ticket holders. After your ticket is scanned and verified, you will be issued a wristband. All VIP tickets must be purchased online using a major credit card.

You Don't Want to Wait to Buy
Last year almost all the VIP tickets sold within 24 hours, more than a week before the air show! With a very limited number of VIP Tickets available, don't wait to buy! Because there are so few VIP Tickets available for purchase, these tickets will SELL OUT. 

CIAS Insiders have the first chance to purchase tickets online and get discount pricing.
