PLUS Top 5 Ways to Save at the Fair

With the purpose of giving guests additional flexibility and more buying options, all tickets and passes can now be purchased at the Fairgrounds with the use of a debit or credit card.

• NCTD’s Fair Tripper offers round-trip ride & admission for the cost of admission alone––Take a ride to the Fair on North County Transit District’s COASTER, SPRINTER or BREEZE, and get transportation and Fair admission for the same price as Fair admission alone! Fair Tripper tickets are ONLY available for same-day purchase from NCTD ticket vending machines at COASTER or SPRINTER stations. Shuttles run between the Solana Beach COASTER Station and the Fair approximately every 30 minutes.
