Instead of spending $16.50 on general admission for the fair, here are some ways to save that money for that crispy, golden brown corn dog you've been craving and that exhilarating ride.

Freebies

As a big thank you to the services that the military have provided for our country, all active or retired military and veterans that present valid documentation will have free admission, along with their spouses and children under 18!

Along with Military Appreciation Day, Law enforcement officers, firefighters, and paramedics have a similar advantage of free admission with a bonus of 3 extra tickets for family.

Discounts

On Tuesdays, guests have the chance to receive a $6 admission, if they bring an empty Dr. Pepper can.

When people bring 4 canned food items, admission will be only $4 on Wednesdays.

Every Thursday, the State Fair offers $7 in admission for any age, if you bring an empty 20-ounce bottle of any Coca-Cola product, and senior citizens 60 years and older get in for free!

Visitors have the opportunity to bring a 20-ounce bottle of Dasani water or Coca-Cola products to donate to the North Texas Food Bank and get in for $10 admission.

Discount coupons for $5 off an admission ticket or half off children's ticket are available through McDonald's on tray liners and takeout bags, which are also redeemable any day!

After 5 p.m. on any night of the week, half-price admission is available if the guest brings an empty can of Dr. Pepper.

In conclusion, with all these amazing discounted tickets and great offers, you should be able to save a lot of money on the regular price of admission of $16.50 to please yourself at the fair however you like!
