Illinois State Fair Opens Box Office

The Illinois State Fair Box Office opens for in-person ticket purchases 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


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.


For just $45, the Admission Book provides 11 any-day admissions to the 2024 Illinois State Fair. A Seasonal Infield Parking Pass can also be purchased for $40. This allows you to park on the infield all 11 days of the fair.


"We invite everyone to stock up on money-saving Mega Passes and Jumbo Passes before the prices increase in August,” said Rebecca Clark, Illinois State Fair Manager. "Summer fun for families is affordable when you take advantage of these discounts.”
