Kansas State Fair Ticket Prices To Rise

It will cost adults more to attend next
year’s Kansas State Fair but tickets for children and the elderly
will stay the same.
Fair officials said Thursday that adult ticket prices will
increase from $8 to $10 at the gate and from $5 to $6 for advance
tickets.
Tickets for children aged 5 to 12 will remain at $3 in advance
and $4 at the gate. Those 60 and older will pay $4 and $6,
respectively.
Fair general manager Denny Stoecklein says the fair resisted
raising ticket prices in recent years because of the struggling
economy. But he says the increased revenue is needed.
The Hutchinson News reports that the Kansas State Fair is one of
the few in the country that is mostly self-funded.
