Advance State Fair ride, concert and admission tickets on sale now
Tickets for the 2008 N.C. State Fair are on sale now at www.ncstatefair.org, including admission, ride, grandstand and Dorton Arena entertainment tickets.
“We are extending our ticket sales this year to give people more time to make purchases,” said Wesley Wyatt, State Fair manager. “While we feel the State Fair provides one of the best entertainment values in the state, we understand that wallets are stretched a little more than usual now. By offering early ticket sales, families can make plans and purchases throughout the next three months if necessary.”
