People who are planning to attend the Extreme Blue Thunder Airshow featuring the Blue Angels in July can save some money if they buy early bird tickets starting Monday.

Tickets for the show go on sale Monday with early bird pricing of $18 for adults and $8 for children. Tickets can be purchased online at the event website.

These prices are only available until April 30 when the tickets will go up to $24 for adults and $14 for children. That price is available from May 1 to May 31. From June 1 to July 21 tickets will be $25 for adults and $15 for children.

After the presale period ends tickets at the gate will cost $30 for adults and $15 for children.

Getting your tickets early will save you and bundle and help make sure you get into the event. The last time the Blue angels visited Idaho Falls over 30,000 people attended the air show.

“More than 30,000 people purchased tickets for the 2010 show. We are anticipating even larger crowds this year so we are encouraging people to purchase their tickets now,” states Air Show Board Member, Nick Gailey.

Each ticket is good for one day, either July 22 or July 23, but not both days. Gates will open at 9:00 a.m. on both days. Static displays, vendors and merchandizing will be available throughout the day, and the planes will take to the sky at 12:10 p.m. The show concludes around 4:30 p.m.
