The Kansas State Fair collected 14 percent more in ticket sales this year than last year as attendance increased.
Fair officials Thursday reported the $200,000 boost in gate receipts as they set the 2014 budget.
The Hutchinson News reportsĀ the fair had nearly 4,000 more visitors than in 2011. This year also saw the price of adult tickets bought at the gate increase by $2 to $10. Plus, advance tickets increased by $1.
The 2012 event also netted the fair $1.79 million in sales, up from $1.77 million last year. The sales category includes the percentage of sales for food, carnival and other revenues that vendors pay the fair, along with carnival space fees.
