Here’s what you need to know:

Head to the EX in the evenings

Did you know you could get your ticket for $13 in the evenings? Yup, that’s right! This deal is available every Monday to Thursday after 5 PM, excluding Labour Day.

The ticket is only valid on the date purchased. They can be purchased online or on the fairgrounds for August 19th to 22nd, and August 26th to 29th.

It’s important to note that the link will be activated on these specific dates at 4:45 pm.

For family deals and kid’s passes, the CNE has more ticket options available online.

HST is not included unless specified on the ticket card. There is a $2.99/per ticket processing fee that applies to online purchases only.

Free day entry?

Well, sort of. The EXcelunch Special allows grounds admission from 11 AM until 1 PM on weekdays. These can be purchased at any of the gates but the best part is that if you leave by 1 PM, you can get a refund for your ticket.

Free life hack!

And there you have it! Save some of that hard-earned money on entry and spend it on other things at the CNE.

Oh, and have fun!
