Advance NC State Fair tickets on sale now
Budget-conscious N.C. State Fair fans will want to take advantage of discount admission and ride tickets on sale now to save money and time at the gate.
Advance tickets to the N.C. State Fair are on sale through Oct. 16, offering significant savings to fairgoers. Adult admission is $7 in advance compared to $9 at the gate, kids 6-12 are $3 in advance compared to $4 at the gate, and a sheet of 18 ride tickets are $10 in advance versus $18 at the fair. Most rides require between three and six tickets per ride.
“It’s hard to beat the savings from buying tickets in advance, and having your tickets in hand when you arrive at the fair means you can spend more time inside the gates enjoying the activities and shows with your friends and family,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler.
