Ticket Sales

We recognize that these are tough times financially for most families, including our own staff and volunteers, so this year we are doing everything possible to provide discount tickets to our loyal visitors. Most importantly we have not raised ticket prices again this year, despite an increase in almost all of our costs. Neither have we reduced the quality of the event, with one of the best musical lineups ever.

To help families attend NTIF we are increasing the age limit for free admission from 11 to 15. NTIF is a family event, and we want to encourage the next generation to be NTIF supporters for years to come. Young adults 15 or under will be admitted free when accompanied by parents or other family members. Seniors 65 or older get a $2 discount.

Friday night specials include FREE admission between 6:00 pm and 7:00 pm. After 7:00 pm there are many ways to get a 50% discount including coupons available in the Greensheet and on this site.

City of Dallas employees, DART employees and SCMA members get discount tickets at the gate.

DART riders get a $2 discount per day. Present your bus or train receipt valid for the day of admission to get the $2 discount. DART riders can also save on parking charges by taking DART bus or rail to downtown and the NTIF Express from Pearl Street Station to Fair Park.

Friday Night Special

Another great way to save on NTIF tickets is to look for discount or even free passes in some local area newspapers. One coupon required per ticket (but you can make as many copies as you like). We will also "hide" discounts on special pages within this web site. Check back often during February - they won't last long.

SCMA Member Discount

SCMA membership has its rewards. All current SCMA members may buy one - get one free. Purchase your Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Two-Day or Weekend ticket here, show your current SCMA Membership card and get your guest into the festival for free. Buy two, get two friends in free - no limit. One-for one only, all guests must be present at time of entry.
