Acting Director Troy Waffner said the online-only sale will provide 20,000 admission tickets at just $3
per ticket, which is 50 percent off the regular advance sale price and 70 percent off
the $10 price at the gate during the fair.
The sale begins at 6 a.m. at the fair’s online ticket sales site, at http://www.etix.com/ticket/p/4350112
“We’ve just completed the greatest fair in our 175 year history, with
the highest marks ever from visitors," Waffner said. "The new grounds have never looked
better and our programming this year will top last year’s so these
tickets are a better value than ever. I encourage
fairgoers to get their tickets early since they definitely won’t last.”
Tickets sold on Cyber Monday are only sold online and on the fair’s official online ticket seller, etix.com. Etix charges 13 cents per ticket and a credit card fee of 2.5 percent per ticket, making the total cost of each ticket $3.21.
Purchases
are limited to eight tickets per person. Buyers may either print out the
tickets or use their mobile phone or device at
the gate to show proof of purchase for entrance to the fair.
At least two more special admission ticket promotions will occur before the fair.
The Halfway to the Fair sale will take place on Friday, Feb. 24 when tickets will be $4 each, and the
Cinco de Mayo sale, when tickets will be $5 each, will take place on Friday, May 5.
The regular advance sale ticket effort begins in July at $6 per ticket.
Groups and businesses buying at least 100 tickets can receive special
discounts through
the Fair’s Group Sales program. Contact Nick Pirro at 487-7111, ext. 1214 for details or visit http://nysfair.ny.gov/buy-tickets/group-ticket-sales/.
The
fair's 2017 run will be from Aug. 24 to Sept. 4.
