I live near Annapolis and want to go because I never have but I couldn't find out how you attend the air show or like were you buy tickets so if someone could help me out that would be apprectiated. Thanks!
 
The website is noted below, and it appears they have a show at USNA on May 24 & 26 (graduation flyover), 2023. You may need to explore details around tickets, although most of the activity can be witness from many locations around Annapolis.


Best of luck with the shows and your pursuit of a USNA appointment in the future.

Tickets aren’t needed for the USNA show. You can park out in town and walk on the yard and watch from nearly anywhere there.

I'd be happy to sell you a ticket to the USNA airshow :) !
Seriously, 'Hoops is right -this show is open to the public ...just need a good vantage point, either within the Yard or I am many sure there are many places to watch from within town. I am sure there are many locals that know just the right spot ...

The Blue's do their show focused on "show center" which is some point or landmark visible from the air, and point where most of the best views/passes occur. I haven't seen the Blues at USNA for 37+ years, but suspect it is just off the Severn Seawal, perhaps even the Sailing Center which would provide a great viewing platform for VIP's.
 
Hospital Point on the Yard or anything around the bridge that crosses the Severn is prime viewing area. They should have a practice day, a show day, and then graduation flyover, all subject to weather so cross your fingers for sun. But the USNA show is a little different from most air shows in that they aren't doing demonstrations on the ground etc, hence no tickets.

It’s a barge in the middle of Severn is center point. You can see it from the seawall. Anywhere on the yard has a great vantage point.

Do you need a ticket to get on to the yard beacause its free to go and walk around?

No. Just read the visitor access information and have the correct ID.

The “practice show” is held same time on the day before, same show.

Pro Tip: Bridges near the show shut down some period of time before show start, diverting vehicular traffic. The town is jammed to bursting during Commissioning Week. Get yourself there early to find a good spot. Take something to sit on.

As pointed out by others, there is no flight line show, just the over-water show centered over the marker barge in the Severn River.
