FRIAT FAQs
When will the FRIAT passes be mailed out?
Show answer
Passes will be posted in April/May, if you ordered before the end of March.
Which Customer Entry Point (CEP) do we use on Thursday and Monday?
Show answer
The Blue Customer Entry Point will be open to FRIAT members to access the enclosure on Thursday and Monday unless you are told otherwise by email/or road signs.
Which Customer Entry Point (CEP) do I use on Friday, Saturday & Sunday?
Show answer
You can use the Customer Entry Point (CEP) dedicated to your approach route (Green, Red, Blue or Yellow if arriving by coach/bus). If you arrive via the Blue route you can utilise 'Gate J' which will be open to FRIAT members only 7.30am - 9.15am. This gate gives FRIAT members an exclusive path to the Blue CEP and hence far quicker access to the Enclosure.
How do I get to 'Gate J'?
Show answer
To get to Gate J, first of all get to the Blue Carpark. The traditional access Gate for the Blue CEP is Gate K and as you look at the Blue CEP Gate J is to your right. FRIAT volunteers and Security Stewards will be on-hand, at Gate J, to confirm FRIAT Membership and manage queuing.
Can I buy access to the FRIAT enclosure for Monday only?
Show answer
No, the membership packages are MACH-1 (2 days - Sat & Sun), MACH-2 (4 days - Fri to Mon) or MACH-3 (Weds to Mon). At the moment we do not sell individual days.
How do I book a 'white chair'?
Show answer
These are for FRIAT members who have a blue badge/ or severe mobility issues that mean they are not able to access the grandstand. These are allocated on a first come first served basis.
I want to bring my child/partner/friend to the show on Saturday - can they use the enclosure with me?
Show answer
No sorry, access to the enclosure is for FRIAT members only. There is not sufficient space for additional guests to be given access during the public show days.
Can I choose where I sit in the Grandstand when I arrive?
Show answer
Seats are allocated in advance and your seat number will be printed on your FRIAT pass. You can make requests for a specific seat but these cannot be guaranteed.
I can no longer come to the show can I get a refund?
Show answer
All tickets/packages are sold as non-refundable. However, should there be extenuating circumstances for requesting a refund (such as bereavement or medical emergency) we ask that you return your passes by post along with an explanation and we shall consider your request following the event.
Please post to: Wendy Toms, RIAT 2016, PO Box 1040, Fairford, Glos, GL7 4NA.
Please be aware all passes are individually bar-coded and prior to any credits being made each ticket will be checked to ensure it has not been used for entry to the Air Tattoo.
