Ticket sales for the 2021 Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach
are back open after a rough start for the state's website Monday.
The tickets went back on sale Tuesday at 9
a.m. It comes after the overwhelming demand shut down the ticket effort Monday
due to a website crash, state officials say.
Capacity for the show is capped at 50% due to
coronavirus restrictions, but demand is high.
The state's Parks Department says it knows the
Air Show is important and is committed to ensuring everyone has a fair chance
and enough time to get a ticket.
Event parking passes will be required for all
three shows beginning with Friday's practice show on May 28 and culminating
with the final show on May 30.
In addition, 1,800 passes will be distributed
to Long Island's three health care networks for front-line workers.
A new date for ticket sales will be announced
in the near future. Tickets are $10 per car.
All tickets bought before the site crashed are being
honored for the show.
