Regular admission, tailgating and camping passes will be available at the Fairgrounds starting Friday April 28th 2023 at 7:00 AM through Saturday October 29th at noon.

Advance tickets and parking passes:  Please note that camping and tenting passes are NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE IN ADVANCE. They must be purchased on-site starting on Thursday afternoon, April 27th 2023.  Also note that Thursday overnight parking is not permitted anywhere on the grounds except in the campground..  All vehicles must park overnight in the campground and pay the appropriate fee.

You may order admission tickets and inside parking passes online or by MAIL.  Order online at https://nearfest.square.site.  We are phasing out our tickets by mail operation. Online orders received by October 1st will have tickets mailed out. After this date they will be available on a "will call" basis at the gate.

Advance admission tickets and inside parking permits are also available at HAM RADIO OUTLET in Salem NH but must be paid for IN CASH only.  This means no credit card payments can be accepted. Thanks to the store manager for helping us with advance ticket presales.  They are also available on the South Shore at Ross Hochstrassers shop at 40 Walnut Street in Whitman MA (see below).
