Have you looked at the cost of getting a 2+2 family into any other “all day” attractions – Legoland, Chessington World of Adventures, Alton Towers etc etc?
They’re expensive too! 😀
Dora Jar makes a fair point that it’s a show with something for everyone, which is true.
However what I personally don’t like to pay for a show that is predominantly filled with any combination of the following:
-Tornado display
-Hawk display
-Tucano display
-Harrier display
-Eurfighter
-Chinook display
-Blue Eagles
-Red Arrows
Unless I am mistaken, these display are mostly paid for by our defence tax money and I don’t fancy paying for them twice. So I am not keen to pay £25 show that contains a substantial amount of the above and the last time I went to Kemble at least half of these displays were present, if I remember correctly. If I want to see this stuff (and most of it I do enjoy!), I’ll just go to one of the sea side displays, which are free.
That said, I am fully prepared to pay a fair sum for truly expensive displays, like historic jets and warbird shows. But for those I prefer to go to the more dedicated shows. For example when I see 30+ warbirds idling before me in the Duxford grass, ready to take off for a Balbo, then I realise I’m getting my 30-quid’s worth.
I hope it all makes a little sense 🙂
