*We do not use other online sites to sell discount tickets.
As a community focused organization we strive to provide as much value through onsite and post show activities as possible to show attendees and the public at large. This starts with attendees not having to pay for parking (or waiting in line to pay), most kids activities, clinics, presentations are free. We provide tickets for Vets (through VetTix) and other non-profits that provide services to children and their families. We also provide a platform for railroad related non-profits to assist them with their community outreach.

Taxes and Fees
There is a $5.10 Facilities Fee (it listed as "Booking Fee") that is applied separately to each adult ticket.
This fee pays for ground maintenance during the show, ensuring that the lots and sidewalks are clear and that the shuttles are available when needed.
