View allSEND ME A PM ... showing you are there and i can send you the barcode...
just don't want to send the PM and the person not ended up going there.
do you think it will be hard to get a spot then? thanks for sharing!
So $49.24 for entry, $22 for ride tickets. And go early
If you plan on 1 - 2 rides, you'll need 12 tickets at most. Kiddie area rides are a bit cheaper than adult rides. You can get the 22 tickets for $22 package (2 rides for you, 3 rides for your child) or the 55 ticket for $55 package depending on how may rides your child wants to ride (or 2 X 22 tickets for $44). Just keep in mind that later in the day, the rides will get busy and you may be looking at 20 min wait or more to get on. Your child may get cranky from waiting. Bottom line is, get the ride all day if your child can get on at least 20 rides since the child ride all day pass (before discount) is $65 + $2 processing + HST = $75 (20 rides X avg $4 a ride = $80). Child admission to CNE is free if you have the coupon (someone posted link above)
The business model for midway tickets is that they count on you to end up buying too many tickets (or ride all day pass) and not be able to use it fully. I had people offer me 10 tickets so they can bud in front of me in a really long queue because they can't use all the tickets they've bought - but it was late in the day and I couldn't use it anyways so the tickets are essentially garbage unless you come another day. So be sure to plan out the rides.

In that picture above they might not see people anymore, just dollar signs, a sea of dolla' signs.
I went to the one in the Midway; a stone's throw from the ice cream funnel cake.
There's multiple filling stations; but easiest spot is inside Enercare Centre; there's multiple water fountains (and washrooms) in the main hallway
Roasted corn.. they wont roast the corn without the skin, too bad.
yeah i think the other water station aren't filtered water...0 They should have water trucks
or these :P

Id rather pay 30$ with less people than save a few bucks and experience what i did.
I don't know what the legal capacity is, but to me it looked like if there were a real emergency people would 100% be trampled / get stuck.
I've been twice and have come to the conclusion that after 5PM, the place is so packed it is not worth going as the people to people crowd makes this place a pick pocket paradise. Food building is packed during dinner hours, and other exhibit buildings will be shutting down soon. Even worse if you take the TTC as crowds leaving after 10PM makes every bus jam packed. Avg ride time from Exhibition place to Bathurst station is 45 min. And you can smell everyone's sweat after a hot day even thru N95 mask. The drivers sometimes turn on the A/C to help cool people down. But when the bus starts and stops, people lean into you so you feel their cool and clammy skin touching yours.
