Syracuse,
NY – December 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Fans of the Wade Shows
Midway at the Great New York State Fair
can put some excitement under the tree for Christmas this year as Wade
Shows and the Fair will offer ride-all-day weekday wristbands for the lowest
price of the 2019 Fair season. Vouchers good for weekday wristbands will
be sold for $15, a 25% discount from the $20 cost during the advance sale
period in summer and $30 during the Fair. The sale takes place beginning
at 6 a.m. Dec. 11 at the Fair’s official
online sales site on Etix.com.
Only 7,500 wristbands will be available for sale. The sale ends at midnight.
“We’re excited to offer this
special sale right before Christmas because we know many people look forward
to the Fair and love the Midway. For anyone who enjoys the rides, this
is a perfect Christmas stocking stuffer,” said Troy Waffner, Fair Director.
“There’s no better way to
say Happy Holidays to all the loyal Wade Shows supporters at the Great
New York State Fair than with this very special offer,” said Frank Zaitshik,
Wade Shows’ owner.
The actual price of a voucher
will be $15.45, including taxes and fees. Purchases will be limited to
four per person. Vouchers must be taken to the Wade Shows customer service
booths on the Midway during the Fair to be exchanged for wristbands. Weekday
wristbands allow wearers to ride an unlimited number of Midway rides on
any one day Monday - Friday, except for the Broadway Skyliner, which is
purchased separately. Wristbands good for Saturdays and Sundays can be
purchased at the customer service booth for a $5 upgrade. Weekend wristbands
will cost $35 if purchased during the Fair. Once purchased, vouchers are
not refundable. Buyers should contact
Etix customer service with questions.
Wristbands are not recommended
for children under 36” as there are a limited number of rides they can
safely ride. Parents with children under 48” should check the height requirements
before purchasing to make an informed decision about whether wristbands
are the best value for their children. The lineup for rides for the 2019
Fair will be posted on the Fair’s website when it is finalized. Information
about all the rides Wade Shows offers, including height requirements, can
be seen here. Wade Shows offers a wristband good for 10 rides for $10 on
Monday, August 27 and all rides for $1 on Labor Day, September 3.
