There's Something New For Frequent Fairgoers at NY State Fair

The wait is over! Tickets to the New York State Fair are finally going on sale. There's even a new option for the frequent fairgoer. But you won't need any cash this year.

Parking and admission tickets will all be sold online starting Thursday, July 27 at 9 AM. The new Frequent Fairgoer pass will get you in once a day, every day.

“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," said Interim Fair Director Sean Hennessey.
