Additionally, thanks to Reithoffer Shows in collaboration with the fair, patrons have the option to buy a significantly reduced carnival ride wrist band (also known as the Mega Pass) for which the cost of purchase includes FREE admission into the fair. The Mega Pass ticket sells for $28 and allows fairgoers unlimited carnival rides on any one day of the fair. The Walgreens Mega Pass and advance purchase discounted admission tickets are the most affordable options for folks attending the fair on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, as special fair
discounted admission days will only take place on weekdays.
The fair utilizes special recognition days as a way to honor those New Mexicans who have dedicated their careers to public service in the classroom, on the street and in the trenches. On special recognition days, honored attendees are admitted free into the fair with proper identifying information.
“In partnership with Reithoffer Shows, the New Mexico State Fair has been able to provide some incredible discounts so that all New Mexico families can experience our wonderful fair,” said general manager Dan Mourning. “The state fair continues to be the best entertainment value for the money.”
