SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Some New York State Fair-goers got in for free on Saturday following issues with the fair’s ticketing system.
News10NBC’s Syracuse affiliate reports the ticketing system operated by Etix suffered a nationwide outage. Gate attendants had to verify tickets.
People in line to buy a ticket during the outage were let in for free to keep the line moving after big crowds started growing at entry points.
The issue with Etix has since been resolved.
