I just learned about this event and am disappointed both dates are showing as "sold out" ... Are there alternate ways of getting tickets or is there a raffle somewhere I can enter? I'd love to attend for the chance of winning a ride -- HUGE bucket list item!

As far as I know there are no other ways. However, they do offer ground tours a few times a year. I would recommend following them on Facebook to see when they offer them.

Darn it! We'll be out of town but that sounds so fun. We live right down the freeway in san Pedro and see it taking off all the time would be so fun to take a tour. Enjoy!

I am sorry Marina that they sold out so quick! My post went viral online and from my understanding were sold out within a few hours. I am sure they will do it again when they release their new blimp in Sept.

You will have to register with them directly. Maybe reserve tixs under different names if there is a Max.
