There are endless ways for you to save throughout the 2024 State Fair of Texas, with a wide variety of discounts. 

One of the best ways to save is by purchasing a State Fair of Texas Season Pass. Experiencing everything at the State Fair in one day is nearly impossible – but here is the perfect solution. 2024 Season Passes are now available to purchase online at BigTex.com/Tickets for only $60, which includes 24-day admission as well as a variety of special VIP benefits. A Season Pass is just one of many ways to save big this year – fairgoers can get the best value for their ticket by attending the State Fair of Texas on a weekday for only $15. 

And there are several different ways to receive our best discount opportunity of just $5 admission. Don’t forget to start digging up those old Food and Midway Coupons from past Fairs! While old coupons have always been good for future Fairs, as of 2023, fairgoers may use coupons on food, rides, and ALSO for games!
