SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) - The Illinois State Fair Box Office has opened for purchasing 2021 grandstand tickets. 

In-person tickets can be purchased from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 7. People can also buy tickets through Ticketmaster here.

Discounted Mega Passes can be purchased for $70 and a Jumbo Pass, which includes the Giant Slide, is $80 through July 31. Starting Aug. 1, the price will go go up by $20 for both passes. 

People who have already bought Mega and Jumbo passes can go to the Emmerson Building from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays to get pass photos.
