Purchasing and Reserving Tickets to the Fair: 

In order to enter the fair, teachers will need to purchase or reserve tickets for each day that they plan to attend.

OPTION 1: For those that are paying at time of purchase with credit card (RECOMMENDED), use this link:  SFVA Field Trips --- Select *Register* to Pay Now (recommended) or *Reserve* to Pay Later (check) Tickets (etix.com)
 
When paying with credit card, tickets may be purchased up until the day before the competition day.
 
 
OPTION 2: For those that are paying with a check at the gate, use this link: SFVA Field Trips --- Select *Register* to Pay Now (recommended) or *Reserve* to Pay Later (check) Tickets (etix.com). Reservation orders are cut off 4 days prior to the competition.
 
Additional Information:
Tickets will not run out/ be limited. Any ticket changes to orders must be made 2 days prior to the competition.
 
Admission tickets need to be selected by day. Multiple days may be purchased in one order.
 
Ride wristbands are not day specific but only eligible for one week day until 4 pm. They are $20 this year (as opposed to $23.00 last year). Day time ride wristbands will be available inside the fair for purchase at $20.00 on weekdays, good for rides until 4 pm. As such, there is no price increase on ride wristbands this year, so students may purchase their own tickets once inside.


Current State Fair Scholarship Program      
The State Fair of Virginia offers several scholarships through the many youth competitions of the Fair. Scholarship funds are held in a State Fair of Virginia, Inc. interest-bearing custody account. Annually, you will receive notice of your current balance. In future years, the balance will include the pro-rated interest that has been earned on your account balance.

When you have enrolled in an accredited college, university, or trade program, the earnings will be paid directly to your student account at your educational institution. To access scholarship funds, after enrolling in school, you will complete the Scholarship Payment Request Form (a copy is enclosed) and submit the form to the school’s registrar’s office. The registrar’s office will then forward the request to the State Fair of Virginia for payment.

Scholarships not used by your 24th birthday will revert from your name back into the State Fair of Virginia Scholarship Fund. You may not request that funds be transferred to another student.

Please visit the state fair website, www.statefairva.org, and click on ‘State Fair Scholarship Program’ (https://www.statefairva.org/p/other/state-fair-of-virginia-scholarship-program) for general scholarship information.
