Beginning this year, admission ticket purchases at the gate will be cashless. Checks, Credit cards, debit cards, digital payments (apple pay) will be the only accepted payment method at admission entry points.
Cash will not be accepted for admission ticket purchases at the gate.
For guests that accidentally arrive with cash only, Reverse ATMs will be available on site. These kiosks allow you to convert cash into a prepaid card that can be used for admission purchases and throughout the fairgrounds.
Guests who have already purchased and paid for their tickets in advance do not need to take any action. However, guests with reserved tickets who still need to pay for admission upon arrival should plan ahead and bring a credit card, debit card, or other cashless payment method, as cash will not be accepted for admission ticket purchases at the gate.
We look forward to seeing you at the State Fair of Virginia!
