This deal has expired!

Let's go to the Ex! The CNE is back this year, and they have a few special offers coming up. On opening day on August 17, they are offering half-price admission! That means you'll pay $8 admission at the gates instead of the regular $16 cost of entry. On top of that, ride tickets will be discounted as well -- you'll be able to get 10 rides for $20 (instead of purchasing separate units of ride coupons).

If you can't make it to opening day, there's another way to save during the CNE. Visit after 5PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays and you'll only pay $5 for admission. This offer excludes Labour Day Monday.

The CNE is open from August 17 to September 3, so there's lots of time to take advantage of rides, shopping, deep fried foods and, of course, the air show!

- Haven't been to the CNE in more than a decade. Has anything changed? Is there anythng new?

- They should change the name from CNE to CLF - Canada's Largest Flea market. I skipped the CNE for a number of years and went back year before last - what a waste. There actually used to be some interesting exhibits there, now it basically consists of the midway, casino, food building, and of course, the "flea market". Let me put it this way, when they advertise a "feature" for the year as deep fried Coke/Mars bars/whatever, you know they're getting desperate...

- Best food last year was the "Fried Onion" & "Pulled Pork Sandwich" hands down! It's still tradition to go to "The EX" every year, just now we take our kids!
  
  Mighty expensive however, but every year we help fellow RFD'ers with a corporate code to make the pain a little easier....especially for younger families!

- this year they're featuring bacon in many delicious forms.
  
  Deep fried bacon covered hotdogs are coming to Toronto. Yes, the CNE announced the new food items available this year and bacon looks to be the star attraction. While deep fried Mars bars, butter and donut cheeseburgers will all make return appearances in 2012, it's the trendy bacon that hopes to eclipse them all with the aforementioned hotdog, bacon and nutella and Jack Daniels bacon sandwiches, bacon parfait, bacon sundae, candied bacon and bacon popcorn all expected to grease CNE-goers stomachs.

- Bacon wrapped hot dog looks delicious.
- wmahmud
- I don't get it..1/2 price admission for $8 ? Or is that supposed to say $4? Because I don't think the CNE (just ground enterance) ever cost $16 ?
- wmahmud
- Nevermind grounds admissions is $16..wow...I don't even remember that...I thought it was like $10 or $12
- appleb
- I imagine a single bacon covered hot dog will be in the $10 range.
- Said212
- I remember getting in on opening day for 1$. For the amount of money I'll end up spending inside, entrance should always be 5$. Screw this.
- Kate M
- In 2009, Opening Day admission was $1.75 -- that was a 175th birthday promotion, though. It was $8 in 2010 and 2011.

- Noooooooo.... It's too early to be mentioning the summer-ending CNE.

  I'm going to stay home. The money saved would pay for several similar dogs - IF I actually wanted them.
  
  Several Mars bars too.

  Had them Nathan hotdogs at Burkie's in the ACC. It's alright I guess.

- Anyone recall how much it was for rides last year? Wondering if it is worthwhile picking up a ride pass. Lat year, I only bought like a handful of tickets, but those went really quick.
- Badman
- yay, all I need now a days is the $5 after 5pm. Don't need to spend a full day at the cne. Would usually go once or twice to casino and just walk around/.
- 1dvdswapper
- Of course I'm going, kids and wife ALWAYS want to go,lol. The shopping at the exhibition has been a waste of time the last few years other than the dvd tent
  Most of the clothing retailers that set up at the CNE also have the same deals at ORFUS RD, making the CNE a waste of time for clothing/kitchen gadgets.
  They REALLY need CNE exclusive deals in order to bring back more shoppers to the CNE. Rides are crap, food is crap and over priced, very little seating at the food building.
  The only real positive things I can say about the food building is that sometimes they have a deal or two at certain food booths and that they have clean bathrooms. Games are a joke and the stuffed toys are terrible.
  I would have to say that now a days the biggest draw is the shopping aspect of the CNE.

  Last year the TDSB had free admission for kids and parents had discounted tickets on a certain day - I remember I was stuck on a streetcar full of families and hearing parents talking about it.

- Remember the Alpine Way? it is back this year, sort of. shorter height and ride length but still a welcome addition to the CNE.
