💡 Guru Tips

Insider tips to make the most of your experience at Ohio Expo Center & State Fair

🎫 Will Call Tip

Will call lines can get long close to showtime. Pick up your tickets early if the box office opens before doors — or go mobile tickets to skip the line entirely.

💵 Bring Cash

This venue accepts cash — handy for merch tables and food vendors where card-only lines are shorter. Keep small bills.

🎪 Festival Tip

Wear comfortable shoes — you'll be on your feet all day. Bring a portable phone charger, sunscreen, and a refillable water bottle. Map out the stages ahead of time so you don't miss your must-sees.

♿ Accessibility Guru Tip

Accessible seating is available — book early for the best options. Call the box office directly for companion seating or specific accommodation needs. They're usually more helpful than the website.

📸 Camera Policy

Cameras may be restricted — professional/DSLR cameras are usually banned but phone cameras are always fine. Check before bringing gear.

👨‍👩‍👧 Bringing Kids?

This venue has a child policy — check age requirements before buying. Pro tip: aisle seats are a lifesaver with little ones for quick bathroom and snack runs.

🚕 Rideshare Tip

Set your pickup spot a block or two away from the main exit — everyone else is fighting for rides right at the door. You'll get matched faster and pay less surge.
