The tickets available online are valid for fair-time admission on any one day of the 2026 Minnesota State Fair, Aug. 27-Sept. 7. Admission discounts may be available at the entrance gates on several discount days throughout the fair’s run; admission pricing may be less expensive if you purchase admission during the fair at the entrance gates on these discount days. No refunds will be given if you pre-purchase tickets and discover you qualify for a discount at the gate.
Limit 6 tickets per order. Multiple orders may be placed for a maximum of 24 tickets per customer (includes mailing and IP address). The Minnesota State Fair and Etix reserve the right to cancel any orders that exceed the per-customer ticket limit.
Tickets are valid for any age guest (age 5+) on any one day of the 2026 fair, Aug. 27-Sept. 7. Children ages 4 and under are always free! Ticket holder agrees to comply with all Minnesota State Fair policies and protocols (including health, safety and security) in place at the time of the 2026 State Fair and acknowledges that policies and protocols may be updated between time of ticket purchase and the State Fair, as the State Fair finalizes its 2026 plans.
The Ticket Office is currently closed for the season.
Pre-fair discount tickets and Grandstand tickets will be available online and by phone only until early July when the ticket office opens. To buy by phone, contact Etix at 800-514-3849.
