-You are rather late I'm afraid, most companies block book the big hotels, and coupling that with the fact there aren't many of them in the first place you have a problem. There is a reason the Heliport does so well during the week, and thats because its so hard finding accomodation anywhere near.
Its not really the right area for B&Bs or smaller touristy places. The two I can suggest are Potters International: http://www.pottersinthotel.com/
Also the Lismoyne is very nice, but expensive, and tends to get overlooked: http://www.lismoynehotel.co.uk/

-What about trying local towns? Farnborough has two train stations, both within talking distance of the town centre, from where you're bound to be able to get a taxi or public transport to the show.

-You could just as well got to London, and take the train to Farn and back. Roughly an hour if I am not mistaken.

-Accomodation in Farnborough
If you have wheels then think about Reading. You can get a room at the M4
Travelodge for as little as £10 per night.
Google : Travelodge.
Good luck.

-Where can I buy tickets for the show, or has it already sold out?
I can only go on the 22nd, as on 23rd I jet off to Calgary on my trip to Alaska, but it would still be good to go, as I have never been before!
Anyone else going?

-Last time I went to Farnborough I was with my dad. We booked into the Ibis just behind Euston station (as we were coming down the west coast mainline), went for a meal then hit the airshow in the morning. Travelled straight back home from Farnborough. If I remember rightly there are busses all day long from the railway station?

-Thats right, free buses to the railway station.
www.farnborough.com for show information and tickets.

Hi!
I am looking for some decent hotel/guest house in the Farnborough area for the 2006 Airshow weekend, but I have a hard time finding anything on the net that is not already fully booked...
Am I to late already?
