Why are there different entry times?

We have a 4pm and 7pm entry to help with traffic.  If your tickets do not say 7pm entry, you have 4pm entry. You will need a 4pm ticket in order to enter at 4pm.  If you have a 7pm tickets you cannot enter until 7pm.  Please have your parking pass on your dashboard when you arrive. Parking passes will be sent 48 hours before the event.  If you are taking Uber or Lyft you can enter at any time. However if you are bringing a car, you must enter at your ticket time. So if you have a 7pm ticket and would like to come at 4pm, just car pool with a friend that has a 4pm ticket or take an Uber.  We will not be checking entry times once you reach the main walk up gate, it's just for parking.

****YOU CAN ARRIVE AT OR ANYTIME AFTER THE TIME ON YOUR PARKING PASS.

Is dressing 1940s mandatory?

There is a dress code for this event in keeping with the theme, the historic sets, WWII planes, and automobiles.  We strongly advise 1940‘s themed evening attire, party dresses and/or uniforms.  For inspiration and recommendations please visit our Dressing 1940s section. Actual vintage dress is best, however, if you cannot find period attire to wear, women can wear a modern dress that is cut like those from the era with vintage accents such as vintage jewelry, gloves, and/or a flower in their hair and men can wear a modern suit that looks similar to those of the era with accents like a fedora, suspenders or a bow tie.

  ***Please wear or bring comfortable shoes.  The event is at an active airport and the ground is uneven in some areas and has grass and gravel, we highly recommend comfortable shoes. ****If you wear heels, we highly recommend bringing a comfortable pair of shoes to change into.
