What Happened To Free Airshows?

I've been able to see about 15-20 air shows, and all but the last couple have been free. The common theme with the recent air shows that charge for admission...Colorado. For some unknown reason, any air show in Colorado wants to charge you 4 months pay to get in. I thought the whole purpose of air shows was to attract the younger generation into flying. So the last few air shows have been the Broomfield air show, charging around $20 to get in. It's the same show every year, so this year, our whole family decided we didn't want to pay $22 per person to see the same show. I thought, we'll use the money we're saving there and go the Blue Angels show out in Grand Junction this September. I forgot in my plan that this show is in Colorado, $20 admission. That's on top of gas money. That's alright though, despite the costs, the Blue Angels show will be well worth the money. Here's a link to the show if you want to check it out.
