The cost of goods and employment are going up across the country and that is no exception at this year's Big E.
The annual weeks-long fair and western Massachusetts Fall staple announced that it will be raising the price of admission for the first time in 13 years, according to the Eastern States Exposition.
Last year, the Big E charged $15 for adults and $10 for children. It will now cost adults $20 to get in, while children between the ages of 6 and 12 are $12.
Admission is free for those children ages five and younger.

Advance discount tickets are available through Wednesday, Sept. 13.
