No matter the age (adults, seniors and juniors) San Mateo County Fair admission tickets are discounted to $5 during March Madness—March 11 through March 31. The $5 price is over 65 percent off the fair time adult admission price of $15. Also, on sale are unlimited ride wristbands, discounted to just $28 and good any day of the fair’s 9-day run. The Fair’s March Madness discounts are a slam dunk and can be purchased online at sanmateocountyfair.com or in person at the San Mateo County Event Center, 2495 S. Delaware (weekday business hours).

For concert lovers who prefer reserved seats at the Fair’s free concerts, Gold Circle tickets are also discounted to just $40 (all ages).
