206th Topsfield Fair Tickets On Sale At Earliest Date Ever

TOPSFIELD, MA — Summer may have just begun but North Shore residents can already plan ahead for one of the biggest attractions of the fall for more than two centuries with tickets going on sale for the 2024 Topsfield Fair.

The 206th edition of the Fair will run from Oct. 4 to Oct. 14.

"We are thrilled to announce our earliest date ever for making discount admission and ride tickets available to the public," Topsfield Fair Executive Director James O'Brien said. "You can purchase electronic tickets directly from our website that will go to their computer or their phone. They can either print them out or simply show the ticket barcode on their phone at the ticket gate."

The advanced admission tickets are discounted from regular admission tickets and are good for any day during the Fair's 11-day run.

Tickets are $15 for a single day and $42 for a three-day pass, plus fees. Tickets bought during the run will cost $20.

Children under 8 are free with an adult admission ticket.

The Topsfield Fair is also offering pre-Fair discount ride tickets at 10 rides for $33, plus fees. That is an average discount of 30 percent compared to tickets bought on-site during the Fair.

Discounted tickets are also available at the Topsfield Fair Ticket Booth at 207 Boston Street, which will open on Aug. 19. There is no convenience fee when tickets are bought at the booth.
