Fairgoers can save up to 38 percent on State Fair of Virginia tickets—and spend less time in line—when they buy advance tickets online starting Monday, Aug. 3 at StateFairVa.org.
Advance-price online ticket sales will run through Sept. 24. Regular-price fair tickets can be purchased online Sept. 25 through Oct. 4. Starting Aug. 25, advance tickets also will be available at Walgreens locations in Virginia.
“We know there are many, many families who plan their visits to the State Fair well in advance, and the special pricing on advance tickets is a way they can save money while they’re planning,” said Marlene Pierson-Jolliffe, vice president of operations for The Meadow Event Park. “Purchasing tickets in advance also lets guests streamline their arrival at the fair, something that’s particularly helpful for large groups and for people with small children.”
For weekday admission (Monday through Thursday), advance tickets are $9 for adults and $5 for youth 5-12 and seniors 60 and older. For weekend day admission (Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays), advance tickets are $12 for adults and $7 for youth and seniors. Children 4 and younger will be admitted free.
Season passes will be $25 online through Sept. 22 and $30 after that date.
Rides are not included in fair admission, but ticket-buyers can save up to 17 percent online on advance-purchase vouchers for Unlimited Ride Wristbands. Advance wristbands are $15 for weekdays and $22 for weekend days.
Discount-priced military admission—$9 on weekdays and $12 on weekends—will be available at the Ticket Plaza during the fair for active-duty service members and retirees with current military ID. The discount is not applicable for others in service members’ and retirees’ parties.
