The North Carolina State Fair
returns to the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh Oct. 13 - 23, and fairgoers can save
money on admission and rides by purchasing tickets online in advance now. “Buying in advance can save you up to 45 percent off prices compared to buying when you arrive at the fair,” said Kent Yelverton, state fair manager. “It is the most economical way to visit – especially if you’re bringing the whole family, plus you can bypass the ticket lines when you arrive at the fair and head straight to the gates.” Advance
tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for youth ages six to 12 and $5 for senior
adults ages 65 and over. Ride wristbands are $30 per wristband or a sheet of 18
ride tickets is $10. Discounted advance tickets are available Aug. 15
through Oct. 13. Also available in advance are online ticket packages designed for every type of fairgoer. “We offer packages tailored to a variety of fair experiences,” Yelverton said. “If you love the carnival there is a package for that. Want to try out one of our attractions like the State Fair SkyGazer, State Fair Flyer or NC Public House for craft beer, wine, cider or soda? We’ve got packages for those, too.” Dizzy Pass Includes
one FastTrack gate admission ticket and one unlimited ride wristband for $38.
(Unlimited ride wristbands do not include State Fair Flyer or SkyGazer). Kegs

one FastTrack gate admission ticket and one N.C. Public House admission ticket
with your choice of two eight-ounce N.C. craft beer or cider samples or two
