Sun 'n Fun Registration Info Changed (Again)

Based on revised information received from the folks in Lakeland:

Sun ‘n Fun Registration


Flight line access for the duration costs $150.00 for the public, $95.00 for EAA members. When you get out of the airplane, you’re already on the flight line without paying anything, right? True, but assuming you want to eat, go to a forum, see the exhibits, even use a real bathroom, you’ll have to leave the flight line and then you won’t be able to get back again without a wristband.

EAA Warbirds gives arriving member pilots (me) two wristbands per engine, so I get one for myself and one to bestow. This means that if I have one person with, he/she gets in for free. If I have two people with, one joins EAA Warbirds for $55 and pays $95.00 at the gate, and the person who gets the free wristband reimburses the other person $75. Make sense? Now if I have three people with, two join EAA Warbirds for $55 and pay $95 at the gate, and the person who gets the free wristband reimburses each person $50. Not too complicated.

Actually, there's no need for anyone else to join EAA Warbirds (unless they really want to), since I can buy two add'l guest wristbands at the member price of $95.00, and so the matrix is: one person with = $0.00, two with = $47.50 each, three with = $63.33 each
