No Pier Views: Tickets for Southport Air Show 2023 Go on Sale Tomorrow
Tickets for Southport Air Show 2023 go on sale tomorrow Monday 6th March at 10am.
Unlike previous years there are no tickets on sale for Pier viewing of the event. At the moment Southport Pier is closed for repairs to the decking. The only tickets on sale are for general admission and car parking.
Tickets for the Pier could be added at a later date as the Air Show is not until September. It is concerning though that the works may not be finished in six months time.
The viewing area is only a small section of the Pier between the Marine Drive entrance and the food and drink stall heading in a seaward direction. For the Air Show no access is available to get to the end of the Pier.

"The Council expects to receive initial results from the timber survey in the coming weeks and will be providing further updates in due course.
“In the meantime, we would like to reiterate our thanks to all stakeholders and visitors for their patience and support in ensuring people’s safety.”
