The Burning Question: How Much Does a Ticket to the Fresno Fair Cost? (Brace Yourselves, It's Not Tickets to Space...Unless There's a Space Cowboy Exhibit This Year)
Let's face it, folks, the Fresno Fair is a highlight of the year. Deep-fried goodness, questionable livestock sculptures (seriously, that giant butter cow is udderly amazing), and enough rides to make you feel like you've blasted off into a sugar coma. But before you can embark on this glorious adventure, there's that pesky hurdle: the ticket booth.
Fear not, fried-food enthusiasts! Here's a breakdown of the typical Fresno Fair admission fees, so you can budget accordingly and get the most bang for your buck (or should we say, moo for your moo-ney?).

General Admission: How Much to Get Your Gate Crashing On?
