AEROFLOW REAL STREET WORLD

While they’re parked up and glistening on Real Street, we demand that every vehicle in this display drives to the show, so if you can’t see your reflection in the polished alloy or you spy a mark in the custom paint, just know that they’re battle scars hard-earned from street duties!

    • Hi Lesley,

      It appears that you can actually do either, but it does mention on the official website that “online tickets are cheaper than at the gate”.

      There is no mention of what the price difference actually is, but the additional upside to buying online is that it will likely be quicker to enter and you can skip the ticket queues at the entrance.

      Thanks
      Michael
