Season Pass

27 Days for $30

The ultimate Fair admission deal is the Best Pass Ever. This season pass is valid all 27 days of the 2020 Fair for just $30. That’s slightly more than a dollar a day!

The savings start on Day 2 for everyone — adults, seniors and children. So even if the Fair has already begun, the Best Pass Ever is a great way to save if you come more than once.

But wait! There’s more! When you are a Best Pass Ever holder, you save on other ticketed events. For example:

  • Save 15% at San Diego County Fair gift shops.
  • Save $10 on General Admission or VIP tickets to the Fair’s three beverage festivals: The Toast of the Coast Wine Festival, the San Diego International Beer Festival, and Distilled Spirit and Cocktail Festival.
  • Save on reserved seats at the Toyota Summer Concert Series! Purchase concert tickets directly through our Box Office to save on the added cost of Fair admission (not available on Ticketmaster.)

Buy yours today! (They make great gifts for birthdays, housewarmings, and other special occasions!)
