New York State Fair will require admission for top entertainment this year with shows in the covered grandstand. Tickets will be priced from $3 and only five days will feature one main show daily. Fair director Thomas Young cites rising performer fees and a $3 million grandstand debt as reasons for the change. He argues the gate revenue will fund capital improvements and reduce the deficit.
