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 13 at 9 am through Etix. Public on sale begins May 20 at 9 am through Etix.
Seeing tickets before that date? 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. Only mostatefair.com and etix.com are official purchasing points for Missouri State Fair tickets. Tickets outside of our verified sellers may not be honored.
