SPRINGFIELD, Ill. –The Illinois State Fair Box Office opens for in-person ticket purchases today, Monday, June 3. Regular box office hours are 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Tickets are also available online using www.ticketmaster.com.
For one day only, today, June 3, all in-person buyers of Grandstand tickets are entered into a drawing to win two pre-show tickets. In addition, any in-person buyers of Fairytales on Ice tickets on June 3 will get one Illinois State Fair gate admission ticket for every ice show ticket purchased, making entrance to the fair free.
In addition to concert tickets, fairgoers will be able to purchase tickets at the box office for events at The Arena including Illinois State Fair Rodeo (August 10), ITPA Truck and Tractor Pulls (August 12-14) and Demolition Derby (August 17), as well as the USAC Silver Crown Racing Series (August 17) and ARCA Super Series (August 18).
“The 2024 Illinois State Fair is packed with entertainment options for the whole family,” said Jerry Costello II, Director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture. “The box office opening day specials are even more reason to come out and buy tickets in person.”
Discounted Mega Passes are available for purchase at the Emmerson Building or online. Grab a Mega Pass for $80 or a Jumbo Pass (which includes the Giant Slide) for $90 through July 31. Beginning August 1, the price will increase $20 on both passes.
