Just days remain to save money on admission tickets to the Stanislaus County Fair!

It’s long been said, “The early bird gets the worm.”  The same is true for people who buy Stanislaus County Fair admission tickets early—they will save money!

“We encourage families to plan early and take advantage of the savings of pre-sale fair admission discounts,” shared Pennie Rorex, fair spokesperson.  “But, act now because the sale price ends July 13.”

  • Pre-sale adult fair admission (age 13 and older) is available for $5 through July 13.  After that date, tickets will be $7 each 

  • Child fair admission (age 6 to 12) is available for $2 per child

  • Children age 5 and under are free

Discounts are also available for midway rides, but only until the fair opens: 

  • Carnival pre-sale ride coupons are available for $15 (until 5 p.m. on July 26)

  • Carnival pre-sale ride coupons can be used for either one unlimited ride wristband on one weeknight only (Monday through Friday).  Or, the pre-sale ride coupon can be used for 30 ride tickets (rides take two to five tickets each). 

Discount fair admission tickets and carnival ride coupons are only for sale at the fair office, located at 900 N. Broadway, Turlock.  The ticket office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

“Pre-sale tickets are still on sale for the always-popular arena events too,” said Rorex.  This year’s arena line up includes Martina McBride, the 2002 Academy of Country Music Female Vocalist; the CCPRA rodeo; truck and tractor pulls; motocross competition, the TuffTruks and more!

“And, for those Lynyrd Skynyrd fans, who were unable to secure tickets before the reserved seating sold out, don’t fret!  There will be hundreds of general admission tickets on sale the day of the show (July 29) at the fair,” explained Rorex.

Arena tickets can be purchased in person at the Stanislaus County Fair office.  Tickets can be purchased with cash, VISA or MasterCard (checks are not accepted).  In addition, arena tickets are for sale by:
