Do I have to purchase my tickets in advance?
Yes. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster; you will be able to select dates between July 15 and Aug. 14 (closed Mondays and Tuesdays). Dates may sell out. Bonus: no transaction fees for Fair admission tickets!
What if I buy tickets for the wrong day?
Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster and are non-refundable and non-transferable. Please select your ticket date carefully before purchasing.
Will tickets be available at the gate?
No. We cannot guarantee tickets will be available for purchase at the gate during the run of the OC Fair. Please purchase your tickets online in advance. We’d hate to have to turn you away if we are at full capacity, and parking fees are non-refundable.
Why are you limiting tickets/capacity in 2022?
In order to ensure we are adequately staffed and stocked, and that our guests have plenty of elbow room, we are using the same limited ticket/capacity model that we used for the 2021 OC Fair.
Do I have to wear a mask at the fair, show proof of vaccination or negative Covid test?
Not at this time. Information about Covid precautions, vaccination and mask requirements, etc. will be updated as we get closer to the event, but please expect to follow state/county regulations as OC Fair & Event Center is a state agency.
Will the OC Fair Express buses or Experian shuttles be available this year?
Unfortunately no, we were not able to partner with OCTA or Experian for the 2022 OC Fair.
Will you be selling a season pass this year?
No, the Super Pass will not be for sale for the 2022 season. Super Passes from past years will not be valid. We so appreciate our loyal fans, but with limited ticket sales, we aren’t able to offer an unlimited pass. We hope you’ll still be able to Feel the Sunshine a couple times this summer!
Will you offer free or discounted admission days?
No. We are sorry that we will not be able offer admission options that were available in the past.
Will you have unlimited ride wristbands?
Yes, unlimited ride wristbands are on sale now for Wednesdays & Thursdays (see hours & details).
Can I buy concert tickets at the Box Office?
Yes. Box office hours are:
• Wednesdays-Fridays, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
• Saturdays & Sundays, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Tickets for all OC Fair/Pacific Amphitheatre events and shows are also available online at ticketmaster.com.
