The Kentucky State Fair has made several changes to help eager fair-goers get through the gates more quickly.
Last year families were waiting to get into the fair for hours after difficulties with ticket scanners. Gate staff had to hold the scanners at a certain angle to read the ticket, which caused big delays. Now, the fair has updated its technology with brand new two-dimensional code readers.
Fair organizers are also reminding drivers to use Gate 4 off of Crittenden Drive and Gate 6 off of Preston Highway, where there is less traffic.
The Louisville Metro Police Department has partnered with Google Maps to display gate entrances when you search for the fair on Google Maps.
One of the fastest ways to get through the line is by buying advanced tickets, which will help save money and seconds. It only takes about 6 to 8 seconds if you have advanced tickets, it’s 25 if you don’t have advanced tickets so with 10,000 thousand people and time becomes an issue.
The Kentucky State Fair runs through August 28 at the Kentucky Exposition Center. For more information go to www.kystatefair.org.
