Go to the Fair for several days? Maybe the Frequent Fairgoer ticker is for you
The NYS Fair is offering a Frequent Fairgoer ticket for $20. This ticket is for those who will go to the fair for at least four days out of the 13.
The ticket allows you to go to the fair once a day, everyday, and is only sold online.
Fair admission also includes the ability to watch every performance in the Chevrolet Music Series, including Lainey Wilson, Ludacris, Tyler Hubbard, and Salt-N-Pepa. Each performance elsewhere costs a minimum of $40 per ticket, says the NYS Fair Press Office.
“When you think about who comes to The Fair in terms of age demographics, almost half of our attendees get in for free. Then, once they’re here, all of The Fair’s entertainment is included. What a deal!” said Interim Fair Director Sean Hennessey. “Everywhere you look there is something to do! Whether it’s the new, exciting and interactive DINOSAUR EXHIBITION, the beloved traditions of viewing the Butter Sculpture and Sand Sculpture, or observing a handful of the dozens of animal competitions hosted here every day, there is so much to look forward to. And, if you think you’re going to come more than three times during The Fair’s 13-day run, the Frequent Fairgoer provides a great option too.”
