@arizonasfamily: “When can we catch a break?” Parents say rising costs are making family traditions harder to afford. @coltonshone and @christinestanwood looked at what a day at the Arizona State Fair could cost—and where to find deals. #statefair #arizonafair #fallbreak #thingstodo #phoenix

No guys you don’t get it! Just go ahead park at phx college, then take a shuttle and then with your family have each member carry 8 cans of food! THEN when you get in free just go ahead and pay $200 for food and rides!! Yall don’t get it! It’s DeFiNiTeLy WoRtH iT aNd SoOoO cHeAp 🙄

Teala Cravy :

If I’m “hunting” for discounts it’s for Disneyland not the state fair

Itsmillz_ :

So we HAVE to find coupons to make it affordable. Instead of it BEING affordable😂😂😂

Athena May :

$23 for a turkey leg?!? I can buy a whole turkey for $23 😂

✨️ Candace || SAHM 💋 :

not to mention majority of the vendors aren't even from here or small businesses we can be supporting!

AprilBeeQueen :

also the so called discounts make no sense. Just lower the prices or close....when are yall ready to say enough is enough

Echo Base Studios :

I’m willing to pay Disneyland level prices…….but only when I’m at Disneyland.

Nick :

Okay but that means a working family of 4 has to get off and out of their house before 6 on a work day, get to PC, catch the tram, make it there before 6, all while carrying 32 canned goods on them? This is just cumbersome. No working family is going to jump through these arbitrary hoops. They would have more traffic if they just did discounted days for fall break and advertised it.

Cold Soup :

Imagine seeing this as someone in the 1930s when the fair was popular and admission probably cost a dime

turboSnail :

why isnt all parking free? Like, max $5. Period. No 'oh it can be discounted if you do X or Y', no no no NO NO!!! JUST MAKE IT FREE PARKING. PERIOD.

Lizardking :

Reminder a family of 4 would have to bring 32 cans to get in for free that’s not including rides, food, parking, drinks

nena 🪶🪶 :

the thing about the canned goods for free admission is that they don't offer wristbands on those days so you still spend more overall

steak and tamales :

the fair isnt worth the price. the news needs to stop with trying to save the fair and make it affordable when it isn't. I am glad that these videos have been made. the fair doesn't offer any discount to the people. I don't think that the way things are going on in this world the fair is something to consider

churro777 :

I went to Disneyland last week and dinner cost us around $50-60 for two adults and a toddler

james :

how about, how many hoops to jump through to save a few bucks to go from very expensive to slightly expensive.. why cant the city,county state or whoever make it easier for vendors? do the math , sell 1 item at 18$ or 3 for 12$ each. everyone wins

Shanda Larson :

AGREE 1,000,000% we ARE paying more things and not being compensated and or getting much much less than previous years.

AprilBeeQueen :

its insane and its unacceptable its a fair, not Disney. ill go out of town first

Kori :

What it reminds me of lol

Steph ✨ Disney Travel Bestie :

Disneyland it is [Twin hearts]

user9633625810470 :

Christine Stanwood :
