Fair event tickets to be offered for purchase in person, online

Pre-event ticket sales were only available online last year. At the April 1 fair board meeting, the board and fair manager Cash Duncan discussed changing the ticketing process to accommodate more people.
Last year, those purchasing tickets before the event were given a discount in contrast to those who paid at the event. This was not a popular approach with many people who wanted to purchase their tickets early for the discount but didn’t have the means to do so online.
Duncan explained that the online company was taking a percentage of the ticket sales. He wasn’t sure this was in the fair’s best interest, as it takes from the income generated by ticket sales. The board agreed.
A small discount will be offered to those who purchase their tickets early. Details will be worked out at the next board meeting, including the possibility of an all-pass ticket/wristband.
