SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Great New York State Fair will have a buy-one-get-one sale starting Black Friday, November 28, at 9:00 a.m. If you buy one 2026 Fair admission ticket you’ll receive a second ticket free. That’s a $16 value for just $8.
This limited-time offer is available until 11:59 p.m. on Cyber Monday, December 1, or until 10,000 tickets are sold.
“This is going to be the greatest deal you see before next year’s fair. You won’t find it any cheaper,” says New York State Fair Director Julie LaFave.
“Prices aren’t going up next year, so that’s great news already. So price is going to stay at $8. But from Black Friday to Cyber Monday, you can buy up to five tickets each at $8 and get five tickets free. So a total of ten tickets.”
