205th Topsfield Fair Discount Advance Tickets Now On Sale For 2023

TOPSFIELD, MA — Now that the summer weather has finally arrived it's right about time to start thinking ahead to those fall festivals on the North Shore.

No fall festival on the North Shore is bigger than the 205th Topsfield Fair running Sept. 29 through Oct. 9.

The Fair has begun selling pre-fair tickets, which offer 30 percent discounts over tickets purchased during the run of the Fair.

The tickets are good any day during the 11-day run and are available here. The discount advance price is $15 per ticket plus a $2.25 convenience fee. A three-day pass is $42 per ticket plus a $3.50 convenience fee.

Children under eight with an adult are free with an adult admission ticket.

Pre-Fair discounted ride tickets offer 10 rides for $30.00 plus a $4 convenience fee. Limited ride exclusions may apply. There is a limit of 5 pre-Fair ride tickets per order.

"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.
