"Last year we implemented a new electronic ticket system that proved very successful," Topsfield Fair General Manager James O'Brien said. "Fairgoers don’t have to check their mail and remember where they put their tickets. The electronic tickets will go straight to their computer or their phone and they can either print them out or simply show the ticket barcode on their phone at the ticket gate."
Discounted tickets can also be purchased at the Topsfield Fair Ticket Booth at 207 Boston Street in Topsfield.
The ticket booth is scheduled to open on Aug. 22. There is no convenience fee when tickets are purchased at the ticket booth.
