Food, drinks, rides, and games, are all paid for using State Fair Food & Midway Coupons. State Fair Food & Midway Coupons can be purchased at the numerous coupon booths around the grounds or in advance online at BigTex.com/Tickets.
As of 2023, fairgoers may use coupons for not only food and rides but now ALSO for games! This change allows guests to use a single source of currency, thus simplifying their visit to the State Fair of Texas. And as always, coupons from previous Fairs are valid any year.
