Tickets
Beware of Ticket Scams: Speculative ticket listings occur when unofficial sellers list tickets for sale before they actually have them, essentially betting they’ll be able to acquire them later, often to resell at a higher price. There is no guarantee these sellers will even obtain these tickets and the Fair has no way of knowing if they truly did. Only mostatefair.com and etix.com are official purchasing points for Missouri State Fair tickets. Unfortunately, the Missouri State Fair cannot verify that tickets bought from non-verified sellers will be honored.
Mobile Tickets: If you purchased mobile tickets, download or screenshot your tickets to your phone before arriving at the Fair.
No tickets for the Missouri State Fair will be sold prior to the presale on May 12 at 9 am through Etix.com. Public on sale begins May 19 at 9 am through Etix.com.
