Syracuse,
NY – November 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / The 2019 season of the
Great
New York State Fair officially begins at 6 a.m. Monday, November 26
when the Fair holds its annual Cyber Monday sale of admission tickets.
Admission tickets will be on sale for $3 – 50% off the regular advance
sale price and 70% off the full price at the gate. The sale takes place
only online, via the Fair’s official ticket seller, Etix.com
and ends at midnight.
“The Fair has gotten better
each year and we’re already hard at work to make the 2019 Fair the biggest
and best one yet. Whether it’s a stocking stuffer for a Fair fan or an
inexpensive way to plan a family outing well in advance, fairgoers should
take full advantage of this sale because we won’t be selling regular day
admission tickets for the 2019 Fair at this price again,” said Troy Waffner,
Fair Director.
