Fairgoers who expect to attend the fair multiple days can check out deals such as:

Mega Fan Mini Pass

The $30 Mega Fan Mini Pass allows the bearer of the pass FastTrack gate admission any five days of the fair. This price reflects a savings of $10 off the purchase of five individual advance sales tickets.
