Join us for an evening of drinks, dinner, and great conversation with the RV Community.

The Van's Banquet will be held from 5:00 to 8:00 PM Tuesday, July 21 at the Nature Center Pavilion during EAA AirVenture 2026.

This year's event features:
  • Guest speaker Darren Pleasance, RV owner and former AOPA President and CEO
  • Raffle prizes and giveaways
  • Plenty of time to connect, relax, and share stories with fellow RV enthusiasts.
 
Tried to purchase several times using different payment methods and nothing worked. Now the site says the tickets are unavailable. Are they all gone? Or site issue??
 
12 min, that was my first decline. Scratch that, checked the Apple Pay and it was 12:09PM CST. So 9 min.
 
I've already got mine but it shows some available but "going fast". Click on Get Tickets tab to the right. Probably overloaded with simultaneous requests.

 
THIS IS NUTS... I went back, tried again, no longer saw " Unavailable " . Pushed a few mouse buttons, checked out, and have confirmed email. May be the found some more tickets.... That is good.

Thank you RNB... You were very nice to offer to sell me a ticket, really appreciate you. !

To be clear, I did not offer to sell you a ticket. I offered to buy one since you and many others were not getting the system to work
You sent me your name and email address required for the ticket.
Once I filled everything out and told you would get an email to claim the ticket, then you said you were able to buy one.
Bit of a $%^$ move in my view.
Then you did not respond to my text or answer my phone call.
I cancelled the ticket though, they are going to charge me something still.

Thanks for the beer money EstevanB, it will make up for this!

EDIT: Jack did call me back and apologized.
Full refund issued.
