New York State Fair Ticket Update

There are lots of things to see and do at this year's New York State Fair, including a change to the largest stage at the fairgrounds. Say goodbye to Chevy Park. The old Experience Stage will now be called Suburban Park. It'll feature a pond and first come, first serve Adirondack chair seating to provide a casual park-like setting for concerts. It has a different vibe than Chevy Court which is closer to the Main Gate.

Ticket prices will go from $3 to $6 and parking increases from $5 to $10. Prices had been lowered during the coronavirus pandemic from what they'd been since 2005 - $6 in advance and $10 at the gate. You can read more about the changes online here.
