Because of the quality, the views and the accessibility and practicality.

For example, Farnborough (where you have to pay) you get grandstand style seats and stands to view from. There is MUCH more going on the ground than at Sunderland. The quality of what comes and the diversity is not as good. It is arguably less accessible and I don't think that paying could be easily enforced since you can see the displays from a long way away unlike Farnborough where it is really contained to the airfield.
