Supposedly some people still pay full price admission to the State
Fair of Texas ($17 for GA and $13 for seniors and kids under 48 inches). That
means a family of four is easily looking at $60 just for entry(not including parking,
but we recommend taking DART). The good news is there are plenty of discounts
you can get for admission. Here are the best discounts available for the State
Fair of Texas:
·
Buy your tickets in advance
o
Online - Meh, you’ll only save
$2 for GA and $1 for seniors/kids when you buy them at BigTex.com, but then you’ll
pay almost $9 in shipping. Nevermind.
o
Kroger – You can buy GA tickets there for $15.50, but
they don’t offer the senior or kids ones.
·
Season Passes – If
you plan going to the State Fair at least three times (and we assume your
cardiologist has given you a refill of your Lipitor), buy a season pass. For
just $39.95 you’ll get your season pass, plus a one-day free guest ticket and
free rides on the Texas Sky Way and Top o’ Texas Tower during special season
pass event. Buy this one at Kroger to save $5.
·
North Texas Food
Bank Deals – This one is always good for a great deal that helps people in
our community. All food and drinks will be donated to the North Texas Food
Bank.
o Opening Day – Bring
a full 20-ounce Dasani or Coca-Cola product and get in for $6. Everyone in your
party needs to bring their own.
o Wednesdays – Bring
at least three cans of food on a Wednesday and you’ll get in for $3. Again,
everybody needs to bring their own three cans.
·
Senior Deals – Ah, the luxury
of getting older – Seniors get into the Fair for $4 off every day. AND, every
Thursday is Senior Day, so those folks get in for FREE!
·
Dr Pepper Deals – Each person who
brings and empty Dr Pepper can gets $5 admission on Tuesdays or $8 admission
after 5 p.m. any day.
·
Coca-Cola Thursday – Bring an empty
20-ounce bottle any Thursday and get it for $6.
·
McDonald’s Coupons – Check your tray
liner or bag for State Fair coupons. They’ve got ones that can save $3 off GA
admission and $7 discounts for kids.
·
KISS-FM Fridays – Visit the KISS-FM site to
print a coupon for each member of your group to get $5 off GA tickets.
·
Group Tickets – If you’ve got at
least 20 people, you’ll start seeing the discounts rack up. But going to the
fair with 20 other people in the group is going to make it hard to decide which
ride to go on next.
***BONUS***
Discount on Midway
rides – Tuesdays are a great
day to go to the fair. You can get your $5 Dr Pepper ticket, plus all rides
(except thrill rides and the Texas Star) are only six coupons! If you like
going for the rides, this can be a big saver for you.
