Tickets for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh are Now Live

With tickets to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh now available, the countdown to “The World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration” is officially underway. The week-long fly-in, along with the hundreds of thousands of aviation enthusiasts that come out to see it, will return to Wittman Regional Airport from July 20-26 for the 73rd year of the event.

“As the excitement builds for the world of flight returning to Oshkosh in 2026, we wanted to ensure that advance tickets are available for those who enjoy giving AirVenture tickets as holiday gifts,” explained Rick Larsen, the EAA’s vice president of communities and member programs. “Even at this time of year, aviation enthusiasts around the world are planning for their own AirVenture experience and sharing photos, videos, and memories of past trips to Oshkosh.”

Though the tickets have just gone live, planning for AirVenture 2026 is well underway. To succeed with an event of this scale, the EAA team has to begin arranging aircraft schedules, special features, and headline attractions before the previous event even ends. Their hard work will roll out in the coming months, including the full air show lineup. EAA representatives will also be at the International Council of Air Shows convention this month to lock in performers for next year’s schedule.

Alongside the popular general admission ticket, several other options are open for early purchase. Campers can secure their spots, drivers can grab advance parking passes, and those looking for a more elevated experience can pick up Aviator Club tickets. The association is also selling flight experiences on its B-25 and Ford Tri-Motor, as well as a limited “Oshkosh Bound” T-shirt made specifically for early planners or gift-givers.

AirVenture’s status as the world’s largest airshow hasn’t interrupted its climb. 2025 attendance numbers reached a record 704,000 visitors from 94 countries. And, with MOSAIC triggering a renewed excitement surrounding sport aviation, that momentum is expected to continue with full force into 2026.
