The New York State Fair opens Wednesday at 9 a.m.
Daily admission admission ticket prices have increased to eight bucks for teens over 12 and adults under age 65. The youngest and oldest Fair visitors get in free.
The infuriating no-cash policy remains in effect, so plan ahead for how you will pay for admission and parking.
Eight dollars is still a bargain price considering all you get at no additional charge once you hit the grounds. It would be an even better bargain if there was quality musical entertainment at Chevrolet Court and Suburban Park, but once again this year that’s very rarely the case.
Also increasing, though with little justification, is the cost of parking a car in Fair lots. It would seem that the second increase in consecutive years, now hitting $12, would mean that we can expect improvements in surface conditions where needed, smoother processing efficiency when entering and better controlled flow into lots. We hope that’s the case.
Customers who complain that the Fair is the same every year are closer to right about that as this year is essentially a rerun of 2023. But it’s a sensational show, so buy your tickets, make your plans and get set for another great New York State Fair.
