GEDDES, N.Y. — The New York State Fair has a group-sales program that it contends offers organizations and companies a way to provide a “benefit” to large numbers of employees or clients at a “very affordable price.”
Groups interested in the program have until Aug. 8 to submit their orders, Troy Waffner, acting director the New York State Fair, announced in a Thursday news release.
Under the program, groups of 100 or more can buy tickets in bulk for an added discount beyond the 40 percent savings available on individual-admission tickets purchased in advance, according to a set schedule.

The State Fair in 2013 sold more than 23,000 tickets through its group-sales program, an increase of nearly 5,000 over 2012, according to the New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets, which operates the State Fair.
For example, Loretto, a network of agencies providing long-term care services for older adults in Central New York, bought 4,000 tickets through the program for its employees, the State Fair said.
“The Fair’s group-sales program helps us to thank our employees for the difficult work they do by offering them discounted admission tickets,” Michele Rita Gotschalk, chair of Loretto’s employee-appreciation committee, said in the State Fair news release.
