Saturday and Sunday admission is free for spectators along Fort Lauderdale beach north of Sunrise Boulevard and State Road A1A. But if you’re angling for a prime, shady viewing spot, be prepared to splurge. Tickets to the Drop Zone Beach – a paid viewing area on the shore between Sunrise Boulevard and Northeast 14th Court – will cost $29.75 online in advance, and $40 at the gate, and include an event program and access to portable restrooms. Gates open at 9 a.m. There’s also Flight Live Club VIP ($199-$265), which includes a personal beach tent, food and a drink, and a golf-cart valet. Doors open at 10 a.m.
